Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Murphy is an elderly (13 y/o) Yorkie that we got as a puppy. He is smart, but might have some vision and hearing loss due to his age. He loves to sit beside me while I watch TV. He sleeps a lot during the day. He is not especially playful, but gets super excited when we get home, and is friendly to delivery/repair men. Although he is housebroken, he sometimes has accidents when he is alone, so I put a doggy wrap on him when I leave the house. He would be a good pet for a couple or single person without young children. He has never bitten anyone, but he is nervous and anxious around small children, and has growled and snapped at young visitors before, but not often. He is a picky eater, and will eat dry food, but prefers canned food.
