Safe Haven of Iowa County

Murphy is the only brown one of the litter. He is a very calm and loving boy. He sits at the edge of the kennel just waiting for someone to come and pick him up so he can cuddle in your arms. Murphy is a total sweetheart and when you look into his beautiful brown eyes your heart will just melt!

 He does well using puppy pads for potty training and is current on all his shots.

Murphy is 1 of 7 miracle puppies that Safe Haven took in at just 2 days old all weighing just 8 to 12 oz!   Now at 5 weeks of age all are 4-6 lbs!!

These poor little babies were born on February 23^rd then taken from their mother late on 24^th put in a box and left outside to DIE! A neighbor saw what was going on and took the puppies in her home, but not knowing how to care for them sent out emails for help. Safe Haven responded and took the babies into foster care on February 25^th. There are 4 females and 3 males in the litter. All stayed together till Saturday the 27^th at that time we divided them 3 went to one foster and 4 have been shared with 2 other fosters.

The puppies all have been such little fighters and are all just thriving! These sweet little miracle pups won’t last long, if you are interested fill out an application today. April 24^th all will be 8 weeks old and should be available for adoption at that time.
