Murphy's Story

Oh, Murphy.. We love you and your perfectly imperfect teeth. This sweetheart was found as a stray and joined us in December 2025. Though he is mostly blind, we believe he can see shadows and he gets around just fine. We often forget he has limited vision because of how well he runs around! His hearing is stronger than ever and he will follow you around the room.. especially, if you have treats. His teeth, though crooked, appear to be very clean, leading us to believe he is around 5 years old. He is so friendly with everyone and loves attention. He has even shown interest in playing with some of our other dogs, though he did not appreciate our one puppy who would not leave him alone and had to tell him enough was enough. Thankfully, that's all it took!<br/><br/>Status: Available<br/>DOB: 12/18/2020<br/>Breed: Terrier Mix<br/>Sex: Neutered Male<br/>Weight: 20.4lbs<br/>Good with dogs?: Yes<br/>Good with cats?: Unknown<br/>Good with kids?: Unknown<br/><br/>*Note: All of Sam's Place dogs are microchipped, spayed/neutered and UTD on vaccines, unless otherwise noted.
