Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Murphy enjoys the company of gentle people and being cuddled. This little senior boy with an adorable underbite is so sweet and easy going. While he does have cataracts he still is able to see fairly well (see below note from his foster Mom). Murphy gets along with other dogs and does not mind cats. He has had a dental cleaning and a benign lump on his chest removed and is otherwise in good health. Murphy is 8 years old and 10 pounds. Please help Murphy find the loving home he deserves.
From Murphy's foster Mom: Murphy is a super sweet, amazing dog. He is good with my dogs, all people and does not mind cats. He loves his person and will stick with them like glue so someone who really would love a dog that wants to be with them all the time would be his best friend. Murphy also loves to be cuddled and held. He enjoys napping in your lap or touching close by you. Murphy does have some vision since he makes his way around the house and stairs with no problem. His hearing also seems fine since he comes when called. Murphy would do best in a home with older children who would understand that sometimes he gets a little startled if you bend down to touch the top of his head so it is recommended to begin by petting him under the chin. Murphy is otherwise a very laid back and easy boy who is housebroken. He is going to make someone very happy.
