Rescue FAQs

Murphy’s Paw Rescue Inc. is a foster based, non-profit 501c3 organization that has been rescuing dogs from shelters, neglectful situations and owner surrendering since 2013. Our organization stemmed from the harsh realization that there are countless amazing dogs being euthanized and abandoned each year...but the majority of people aren't even aware of these dogs' existence, or are too scared to take a chance on a rescue dog. Most shelters do not have the time and resources to provide in depth temperament tests, photos, videos, personal profiles and vet care to the thousands of dogs they intake a year. Our goal is to help build a bridge to this obvious gap, and to help dramatically decrease the number of dogs being unnecessarily euthanized each year. We place our rescue dogs into loving foster homes, provide necessary vet care and begin the process of finding their forever families.
