Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

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

Murphy is a 16-year-old border terrier. He is a good eater. He likes his treats. He loves attention but does not like to play rough. He likes to sleep in his own bed. He’s getting older and he’s slowing down. Some issues with his left leg. He does have to go outside every 2 to 3 hours depending on how much he’s had to drink, but he is able to sleep through the night without any issues.

I love him but unfortunately I cannot take care of him due to an illness.
