Murphy is currently fostered in Mentor, Ohio, and his adoption donation is $300
Murphy is 1 yr old maltipoo mix, he was found as a stray at the nursing home where the President of Cherished Cockers works.
He was roaming around the nursing home for a few days, and would come to the front doors, as if he wanted in because it was very cold outside.
When someone would approach him, he would get scared, and run away, finally Our President went and sat out in the parking lot when he was hanging around, and was able to lure him over with treats.
The staff at the nursing home, were saying that it was like he knew a rescuer worked there, and kept hanging around.
Once we were able to catch him, we took him to the vet to be looked at, and vaccinated.
He is a very young little dog, only about a year, and his hair was very over grown and matted.
We contacted the county dog warden, and the city police, as well as posted adds on craigslist with his picture, hoping to find his owners.
We held on to him for the 7 day stray hold, and were not able to locate his owners, and he was not wearing any tags.
Murphy has been in foster care for about 10 days now, and is doing extremely well.
He is very affectionate, and friendly,and gets along with other dogs, he likes to play with toys, and appears housebroken.
His foster really thinks he is a great little dog, and is a typical lapdog weighing only 12 lbs.
It is so hard to believe that no one claimed him, he is such a sweet little boy, and is not aggressive in any way, he just loves people.
We are looking for his permanent forever home now, could it be you??
Murphy has been neutered, and is now up to date on vaccines, and is heartworm negative.
