My story

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

Sugar and spice and everything nice.....that's dear little Murphy.
Murphy is a survivor....a tiny 9 pound old guy was dumped in the country where his short legs finally carried him to a farm house inhabited by a Good Samaritan. He was so covered with mats and filth that it was impossible to determine his sex, but compassion ruled, and she put him in a safe place and called the TLC. First stop was the vet's office where once again compassion ruled. The caring vet tech bathed him and cleaned him up...yes, he was a boy. medical exam showed that for an old guy, he was basically healthy...except he was totally deaf, and had limited vision because of cataracts. Murphy settled in immediately, obviously thrilled by a warm place to stay, cozy bed and good food. He has quickly learned to find his way around his area, and is comfortable to have other little dogs in his same section. What a precious dog he is...gentle and quiet...certainly not a show dog, but his inner beauty shines brightly. When we discovered he was a puppy mill breeder who was deemed no longer useful, so was dumped, we understood why there were bite marks all over his body. Murphy now enjoys safety and freedom....his is a true love...and although he is an old guy with special needs, he would be an awesome addition for anyone looking for a bundle of love.
