My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We are looking for a loving home for our 4-year-old Shih-Tzu Bichon mix, Murphy. Murphy has been a cherished part of our family since we got him during COVID quarantine. For the first year and a half, he enjoyed constant companionship, but as life returned to normal and our family grew, Murphy began to experience separation anxiety and jealousy.
Ideal Home: Murphy would thrive as the only pet in a home where he can receive lots of attention, cuddles, and love throughout the day.
Why Murphy Needs a New Home:
Separation Anxiety: Murphy struggles with being left alone after spending so much time with us during the pandemic.
Dominance Issues: Introducing a second dog in our home was problematic, as Murphy tried to establish dominance despite being smaller.
Jealousy: With the arrival of our baby last year, Murphy's jealousy and desire to dominate became more of an issue.
