Description:
If you're interested in adopting any SGSR dog, please read about our Adoption Process and fill out an Adoption Application. Visit our website for more information, including Frequently Asked Questions. Hi, I’m Murphy and I’m 3 years old. My foster mom named me after Lt. Michal Murphy because she said I was a brave boy and needed a good, strong name to match. I had a very rough start in life and was taken from a neglectful situation. Because of that, I have an amputated tail, or a “nubbins” as my foster mom says. I also have something called spondylosis in my spine. The Vet said that may fuse over time and it doesn’t affect my everyday life too much and there’s no special care needed, aside from my foster mom occasionally massaging me. My foster dad says I’m a handsome boy and is always trying to snuggle me. I’m a pretty chill guy and just like to be where everyone else is, but I’m also ok with being independent and keeping myself occupied, usually trying to lay on my parents bed. I love my fur foster brothers and sisters and playing with them is theeee best! I’m a little awkward and goofy when I try to play with them because I’m still learning how to be a dog. I also like all my new toys and balls and big bed. My foster parents said they are amazed at how awesome I am since I had such a bad life before. I LOVE riding in the car and get super excited to go places. Mom says I don’t know any strangers and just like to meet people. I’m learning to relax and be comfortable in life and I actually like snuggling with my fostering parents sometimes. I am not a high energy dog and I really enjoy my naps. I’m being fostered in Chesapeake, VA and if you live in VA or NC and are looking for an amazing addition to your family, I’m your guy. Our adoption process consists of a telephone interview, a call to your veterinarian and a home visit. If you have any questions about the adoption process please contact [email protected] .
