Murphy Foster Needed - Boxer Dog for Adoption in Middlesex, New Jersey

Murphy Is Ready for a Foster Home Or Better Yet, a Forever Home!

Murphy is the oldest of the Freed Thirteen Boxers, and when he arrived in rescue, he was in the roughest condition. As many of you may remember, Murphy is completely blind and has been battling pneumonia. The good news is that he is finally feeling much better and is ready for the next step in his journey.
During his time in a temporary foster home, Murphy has truly begun to blossom. When he first came into rescue, he was so unsure of himself that he wouldn't even walk on his own. Today, he happily explores his surroundings, follows interesting scents, and has started to enjoy all the things a dog should have been enjoying all along.

His foster mom says Murphy is like a 7-year-old puppy. He is learning how to be a dogloving attention, chewing on bones, enjoying treats, and discovering the comfort of a soft bed and a safe home.

Although Murphy is blind, he is adapting remarkably well. Like many blind dogs, he is learning to rely on his other senses, especially his hearing and sense of smell. He has already mastered going up and down the two steps to enter and leave the house. While there is certainly a learning curve, both for Murphy and for anyone fostering him, dogs are incredibly resilient and quick to adapt.

Over the years, NJ Boxer Rescue has welcomed several blind Boxers into our program, and there is truly something special about them. They teach us about trust, resilience, and living in the moment. Murphy is no exception. Spend a little time with him, and you'll quickly see why everyone who meets him falls in love.
Murphy would do best in a home with a female dog. He is currently staying with Lavana, who is also looking for a foster home so if you're feeling extra generous, you could always foster two!
