Woof! I’m Murphy, and I’m such a snuggle bug that the first time I nudge you with my nose so you can hug me close, you’ll be in love with me.
I’m a 12-year-old shepherd/collie mix that was left to die at a local shelter, but Young at Heart rescued me in the nick of time, and now I am enjoying fluffy beds, romps in the yard, and lots of love in my foster home. I am such a good boy, I’m an instant companion! Just add love!

I am good with other dogs, housebroken, and trustworthy in the house while you are gone. I do have arthritis of my spine and hips, so a house without stairs is best, but now that I am on a daily dose of Rimadyl, I’m feeling SO much better! I enjoy little romps in the yard, and going for short walks, but I am perfectly content to just be with you in the house.

I am so handsome and so incredibly sweet that I would make a great companion for a senior or for a family looking for a dog that completes your family. I can’t wait to meet whomever is going to love me and hold me close for the rest of my life! Is that you?

I’m healthy and already neutered, up-to-date on my vaccinations, and microchipped. My adoption fee of $165 allows Young at Heart Pet Rescue to help other older dogs and cats like me get a second chance at a happily ever after. Just fill out an adoption application to arrange a visit.
