Patch Pets: Instant Companion – Just Add Love!

Woof! I’m Murphy, and I’m such a snuggle bug that the first time I nudge you with my nose so you can hug me close, you’ll be in love with me.

I’m a wonderful shepherd/collie mix that was left to die at a local shelter, but Young at Heart rescued me in the nick of time, and now I am enjoying fluffy beds, romps in the yard, and lots of love in my foster home. I am such a good boy - I’m an instant companion! Just add love!

Now, before I tell you my age, you have to promise not to judge me. After all, I would never judge you! Ok, here goes… I’m 12. Not 12 months old, but 12 years young. Now wait! Before you stop reading, let me tell you something – there is nothing like providing a sweet dog like me the best love he’s ever known in the twilight of his life. 

And as a bonus, I am a Good Dog! I am good with other dogs, housebroken, and trustworthy in the house while you are gone. I do have arthritis, so a house without stairs is best, but with a daily dose of Rimadyl and short walks to keep me fit, I do really well! I enjoy little romps in the yard, love to wrestle with my toys, and love going for car rides. I am also perfectly content to just be with you in the house.

I am so handsome and so incredibly sweet that I would make a great companion for a senior or for a family looking for a dog that completes your family. I can’t wait to meet whomever is going to love me and hold me close for the rest of my life! Is that you?

I’m healthy and already neutered, up-to-date on my vaccinations, and microchipped. My adoption fee of $175 allows Young at Heart Pet Rescue to help other older dogs and cats like me get a second chance at a happily ever after. Just fill out an adoption application to arrange a visit.
