Meet the one-eyed wonder who is resilient and loyal.
At just three years old, Murdock has already faced challenges, but his spirit is unbroken. He was abandoned from his family, then found stray and brought to PAWS. Despite losing one eye, he is warm and gentle, thriving on love and attention. He will follow you absolutely everywhere around the house, even waiting for you outside the shower. He loves to cuddle, sit on your chest, and get in your personal space. He is playful and loves sitting in a simple cardboard box and looking out the window. He welcomes all new faces and gets comfortable quickly.
Murdock came to PAWS with skin itchiness and congestion. His tests all came back normal, so we're not sure what caused the itchiness, but he is well treated on medication and a special food-sensitivities diet. He takes his meds in food easily like a champ! His congestion is likely chronic, meaning it's harmless but can come back occasionally. His adopter will need to monitor for further itchiness or congestion and be prepared to follow up with an outside veterinarian. Trust us, he is so worth it!
Murdock is ready to bring joy and companionship to a forever home. Adopt this loyal and sweet soul and let him show you the meaning of unconditional love.
