Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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


Murphy is a sweet, gentle, very loveable cuddle bug. She is about 9 years old and was rescued by me when she was around 3. We love her dearly and it breaks our hearts to rehome her, but she is craving love and attention she sadly isn’t getting in our very crazy family with two small children. We are also moving to the country where I worry about her safety. She would thrive in a house where she is the only pet and could be loved as such. She will probably also need a fenced area. Ideally no kids, as she tends to like a more calm environment. She LOVES long walks on the leash and loves to cuddle on the couch. The only thing she *sometimes* does is pee a little. It’s always when she’s alone and locked somewhere like our basement. I just make sure there are no rugs when this is the scenario. Otherwise she is very easy to love and care for. I get her groomed every 4-5 months as she is part shih tzu. No shedding! We love her and hope you will, too!
