Story
Hello! My name is Murphy and I am 9 months old. I weigh a whopping 9 pounds. My fur is super soft. We are not sure what my breed is. Maybe I'm a Fox Terrier. Shelter thought Chihuahua but nah - nobody really thinks that. I guess you can say I'm a Mutt. But an awfully cute mutt. My owner bought me off of Craigslist and brought me home, but she should have checked with her landlord first. Sadly, Landlord heard my barking and said I had to go. Dogs weren't allowed in her apartment, so she took me to the shelter. Treasured Animal Rescue was there that day looking for cats and they asked me if I could tag along. So that's how I got my ticket out of the shelter. The shelters noted from that owner said I was not potty trained. But it took my foster Mom 4 days to teach me the potty business and I mastered it. I don't tell her I have to go outside but we go out a lot and I do my business out there. When I do I get lots of praise and I am so happy when my foster Mom praises me. My little tail wags so fast! It's like a windshield wiper. I even go outside in snow and rain. Weird for little dogs, huh? When snow came, I got to wear a sweater, but I didn't like it, so I took it off. That's ok because when I'm outside I run around a lot. I have a friend here and she & I play a lot. She's about 5 times my size and I don't mind how big she is. Sometimes when she's laying down, I hop on her back. In the short time I've been in my foster home I've learned the rules of the road from her so maybe when I get my new home, I have another friend that I can learn the same way. Speaking of my forever home. No apartments! I bark when I am left alone. I don't like being left alone. In my foster home someone is always home, or I have kitty or doggie friends who are here. My foster Mom can tell you what she has done to help my barking. It's gotten so much better. First night, I cried all night. My foster Grandma slept on the couch with me. Second night, it got better being on my own and now? I can sleep through the night and no barking. I would do better with a secured fence. But little dogs like me shouldn't be going outside by their selves anyways. I can be picked up really easy by some birds or coyotes. Remember, I'm only 9#s. I like the cats in the foster home too. Sometimes I chase them, but we are all the same size. There's one here that I like to cuddle with on the couch. I am past my puppy stage in the chewing and as we mentioned my potty training was corrected right away. It just took me a few days to learn new rules. Now, I know I go in my crate for my meals and when it's bedtime I go in my crate I get a special treat or a toy. I am a good boy all night until I wake up my foster Mom in the morning to tell her I got to go potty. I hope one day I have a family. Maybe someone who works from home, so I am not left alone. Remember no apartments or even shared walls (condos). When my foster Mom is on her computer I like to lay by her feet. I hope I can have another furry friend. Can't wait to meet you!
