My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am devastated to have to rehome my sweet boy. Meet Murphy! I rescued him in May 2023 & was told he was a year old. He is a terrier mix & weighs about 17lbs. Murphy is a sweet boy & jumps like Tigger when excited. He’s a bit unsure when meeting new people & is also very protective of his person. Murphy does great on a leash & loves to walk. He is full of energy & would love to live in a home with a fenced in yard so he can run around and play. He’s never been around kids so I don’t know how he would be. He is partially house trained & does better when he can go out every few hours. He attempts to use a potty pad but occasionally has accidents. Murphy sleeps in bed with me, he loves to get under the covers & curl up next to you. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Rehoming him is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. I love this boy so so much and my heart is breaking. My situation is changing & I’m having to leave my home. I just want what is best for my Murph Man.
