Looking for a Loving Home for Our Sweet Dog, Murphy
Murphy is a 1-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Bulldog mix with a heart full of love. He’s incredibly friendly, playful, and affectionate—he loves to snuggle, give kisses, and just be around people. He’s in excellent health and has no known issues.
We’ve made this decision because our daughter has developed a severe allergy to dogs. Despite trying several medications and solutions, her symptoms haven’t improved. We’ve had to keep Murphy away from the main parts of our home, and that’s simply not fair to him. He deserves to be part of a family where he can be fully included and loved the way he loves in return.
