Let me introduce myself, I’m Murphy!! I was rescued along with my mother, who fortunately had found a loving home. When I was rescued, the person who took me to the vet, thought that I just had a bad leg. However, when the vet saw me he realized straight away that I was paralyzed. My mother and I were both taken in by Mary and her team. I was so grateful to have a warm place to call my own. Mary took me to the vet for him to assess my situation. The vet said to see how I get along with my legs. However, after some time it was obvious that my paralyzed back legs were really no use to me and just slowing me down. So it was decided to amputate both of my back legs. Now this is a big operation and I was so very brave. No one knew how I would adapt as each and every dog is different. But me being the survivor that I am, I pulled through great and as soon as I was home from the vet, I was running around. I am able to pull my whole body up and walk on my front two legs. Even though Mary had confidence in me, she was super surprised at just how fast and how well I adapted. I can even climb stairs now on my own.
I’m super loving and love people and dogs, but unfortunately because of my disability, which honestly doesn’t bother me at all, I may never find a home of my own. Mary won’t give up though and will still look for the right family for me, but I’ll always have a home with her.
 
I hope you can sponsor me so I can give a little back to Mary as my care and the care of all the dogs Mary and her team take in is so very expensive. I love where I am, and I love all the attention I get. Maybe you will get to see me at some of the events we have.
