My story

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

PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION IF YOU’D LIKE TO MEET ONE OF OUR LOVEBUGS:

This boy just broke our heart at the shelter. Murphy was found as a stray, which we find odd because he can't see a thing!

Murphy is a 8 year old, 14 lb Shih Tzu who arrived at the shelter completely matted. They had to shave him down to see what was underneath and we have no doubt he's feeling much better! Murphy has seen an eye specialist and they think he has been blind for quite some time now. His eyes are in good condition and do not require medical attention.

Murphy navigates very well based on sound and smell alone, you would hardly know he can't see! Murphy gets along well with other dogs and is content being crated when left alone. He would prefer someone who is home more often than not, but Murphy is overall a very quiet boy who just loves to snuggle with his people. He is very soft and will require upkeep with his grooming to keep his coat in tip top shape. We'd love to find a Shih Tzu lover that thinks Murphy is as special as we do!

Murphy’s adoption fee is $300 and that includes his neuter, dental, registered microchip, vaccines current, deworming, flea treatment. Apply to meet him at www.lovebugsrescue.org
