MURPHY - BOSTON TERRIER / CHIHUAHUA / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Boston Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed. 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: Shy at first, then a total Velcro dog. Favorite things: Walks, belly rubs, and greeting you with her signature “welcome home” song Quirks: May mark indoors initially but learns quickly with positive reinforcement — walks help a lot! 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’ll stick to you like glue and 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, vaccinated - DHPP x 2, Rabies & Bordetella x 2, a 4 DX test (testing for Lyme disease and two types of tick-borne illnesses), flea/tick/heartworm prevention (Nexgard Plus), two dewormings, and 2 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.
