About MURPHY

Available for Adoption: Meet Murphy!

A quirky little lady with a big heart and even bigger personality! Murphy is a 6-year-old Boston Terrier/Chihuahua mix with a past that tugged at our hearts — and a future that's looking brighter every day. This pint-sized sweetheart came to us under the assumption that she was pregnant, but after close monitoring, we confirmed she was not expecting — and thankfully, no tumors were found either as was initially feared. Medical Journey & Recovery. Murphy battled a severe dental and gum infection that we couldn't treat right away due to the pregnancy concern. Once cleared, she underwent a successful spay and major dental surgery on September 2nd, where 20 teeth were extracted (and she was already missing 4). That's 24 teeth in total — but don't worry, it hasn't slowed her down one bit! She's since recovered beautifully and is healthy, happy, and ready for her forever home. Temperament: A bit shy at first, then a total love bug. Favorite things: Walks, belly rubs, and greeting you with her signature "welcome home" song Personality: Loyal, affectionate, and low-key hilarious once she feels safe. Despite her sometimes serious "mean mug," Murphy is an absolute cuddle bug once she trusts you she will be your little shadow — the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend. She is crate trained, potty trained, great with kids, cats and all dogs. She has had 2 vet visits, is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, 4 DX test (testing for Lyme disease and two types of tick-borne illnesses), flea/tick/heartworm prevention (Nexgard Plus), two dewormings, and a fecal test. Adopters will receive all original paperwork, a 14-day health guarantee, a collar, harness, leash, seatbelt lock, and a week's worth of food. We operate on a first-come, first-served basis and are by appointment only. We are located in Mesa near Gilbert/Brown & offer flexible hours for meet-and-greet appointments. Private message if interested!
