Meet Murphy!
Murphy has quite a story to tell—and a happy ending that shows just how important a lifetime commitment can be.
Murphy was born on March 12, 2017, along with eight brothers and sisters. Their mother had been picked up as a stray by the county shelter while pregnant and heartworm positive. She was rescued by the Coppell Humane Society (CHS) on March 11, 2017, and gave birth to her nine puppies the very next day in foster care.
Murphy was the smallest of the litter and had some skin allergy issues, but he soon found a very special foster home with Karen and Frank. Murphy joined their family in August 2017, and they officially adopted him in January 2018.
For nearly nine years, Frank and Karen gave Murphy a wonderful, loving home. They had also been long time foster volunteers for CHS. Due to circumstances beyond his control, Frank could no longer care for Murphy. He did exactly what CHS asks adopters to do—he called CHS and brought Murphy back to us.
That is exactly what CHS promises to do for their foster animals. CHS adoption agreements ask adopters to contact the organization if they can no longer care for their pet.
CHS welcomed Murphy back and helped him begin his next chapter. Today, Murphy has found another loving home with Nancy and Bob—and their cats! He is a sweet, loving, and calm (most days!) dog who still acts like a puppy.
Thank you for helping us help them!
The Tanner Fund has been set up in his honor to help support dogs in our program who requires extra support for a variety of special needs and emergency services.
