Location: Hopewell, VA

Meet Murphy!

Murphy is a 5 1/2 month old, 12 pound, yorkie mix from a puppy mill in Virginia. He was surrendered by the "breeder" because they could not "get enough money for him." (because he was getting to old, most puppy mill dogs are sold off early - before 3 months). Poor guy is scared to death but seems really sweet. He wants to explore and cuddle and play. He is being neutered 9/30 and once healed he will be ready for adoption. He is a little skittish but there isn't a mean bone in his body. He just wants love and attention. He is working on his house manners and leash walking skills. He has been sleeping in a pen in the evening. He will begin crate training for sleep on 9/30 after his neuter.

*A basic training/manners class will be required to complete his adoption.
