Here's what the humans have to say about me:
7/18/12 - I'VE BEEN ADOPTED!
ADOPTION FEE: $425
Fostered in North Carolina
Age: 2 years
Weight: 15 lbs.
7/1/12 - I am Murphy and I came to YHR from a shelter in Columbia, SC where I was dropped off without records, a tag, or anything really. I have taken to my given name very well in a short period of time which is to be expected because of my off-the-chart IQ (wink wink). I’m smart but I am very handsome too. My fur is more orange-ish due to the fact that I’m a Cairn Terrier. I’m still in my puppy phase and I love to play with other pups. Right now I’m playing with Riley in my foster home and we get along super great. I’m a bit bigger than him but I’m gentle. My buddy Riley needs a liver shunt so I’m praying for him!! As far as potty training goes, I do a great job of not doing my job in the house. I am also in great health with no problems to mention. Somebody once asked me if I could be anything in life what would it be? Well, have you ever seen a movie with a bear that stands up on its back legs? If I could, I would like to star in a movie as a little baby cub. I can stand and walk on my hind two feet very well and I even look like a baby cub. That’s my dream job right there. Until I hear from my agent in Doggywood though, I’m ready to find a family and entertain them to the max. I have lots of love and kisses to give. I want to be the star on your Doggywood walk of fame. Please keep Riley in your prayers, and ask for me when you fill out the adoption form – Murphy’s Law!
