Phone interviews do not take place til after an approved application is on file and we have a possible match for your home Hi my name is Murphy! I am 8 yrs old and weigh 25.5lbs. I need a new home because my mom and dad got divorced and no one could take me with them. I am being fostered in Cedar Rapids, IA. I am a big red and white boy who is a cuddle bug, funny, and loving. I love my people, looking out the window and sitting on the couch. I prefer to sleep right next to my human(s) if at all possible. Things I like: to ride in the car, to play outside (especially with humans), watch people work (my foster mom has a remodel going on and the contractors let me watch them all day!), to snuggle on the couch and to sleep in the sun! Things I don't like: when my human leaves the house (I have been known to whine for awhile). I am 90% potty trained and use the doggy door. I prefer when my human(s) go outside with me and "coach" me on going to the bathroom! I have been to dog camp and am being fostered with 3 other Boston Terriers. I love other dogs! When playing with other dogs I am a gentleman. I have not been around cats and I would recommend children that are a bit older (10ish and older). Murphy does have allergies. He can be prone to ear infections. He receives a Cytopoint injection every 4-6 weeks and is on a limited ingredient dog food. He takes an antihistamine once a day and will come with special shampoo from the vet for bathing. He also has a growth on his back left leg that has been biopsied and came back as benign and does not cause him any issues.

All our dogs are spayed/neutered (if six months and older), up to date on rabies and distemper, heartworm tested, and microchipped. Other medical needs diagnosed while in foster care are also treated prior to adoption. MABTR requires a fenced in area from families who own their home, however we DO adopt to apartment complexes and communities where fences are not permitted due to leases and covenants. In these cases a leash law must be enforced. We do not accept invisible fencing. MABTR only adopts to families residing in NE, CO, MO, KS, IA, WY, SD, ND, ID, UT, MT, MN, and NW AR due to the lack of volunteer support in other states, no exception even if you are willing to drive.
