About Murphy

Meet Murphy, a cheerful 11-year-old Boston Terrier looking for a new home after losing her beloved dad. Easygoing by nature, she happily rides in the car, enjoys cozy naps beside you, and thrives on gentle affection. Murphy gets along well with both dogs and cats and is fully house-trained. She takes lovely leash walks and still has a playful side, showing off her zoomies when the mood strikes! While Murphy is heartworm negative and spayed, she is managing Cushing’s disease with medication and routine check-ups. A small benign growth on her face requires no surgery. This sweet girl deserves a calm, loving environment where her gentle spirit is appreciated. If you have a heart for senior pets and can offer Murphy the forever home she deserves, please reach out or apply at STBTR.org.
