About this Dog
Meet Murphy – Your Loyal Low-Key Sidekick Murphy is a 5-year-old Rat Terrier/Jack Russell mix with the soul of a quiet observer. He’s not one for the spotlight—or your lap—but he’ll always be close by, ready for a quick head scratch and to quietly check in on his favorite human. Murphy is calm, even-tempered, and prefers a peaceful life. He’s crate trained, gets along great with other dogs, and while he doesn’t need a canine buddy, he’s perfectly happy to share his space. Strangers can make him a little unsure at first, but give him a moment and he warms up quickly. He’s quiet most of the time, but will let you know about noises outside or when people come to the door. This gentle boy is still learning the ropes of potty training and basic obedience, but he’s eager to please and takes direction well. He won’t beg for attention, but he will loyally trail behind you from room to room, just to be near. Murphy’s ideal home is one with a patient, understanding family who can offer him the calm, consistent environment he thrives in. He’s not looking for adventure—just someone to walk through life beside. If you’re seeking a quiet, loving sidekick who asks little but gives a lot, Murphy may just be your perfect match. Murphy is from Texas. This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease and is available through our Foster-to-Adopt (FTA) program. Activity must be restricted for several weeks during recovery. RSR will cover the full cost of treatment. RSR will provide heartworm preventatives until the retest is due. The adopter will be responsible for scheduling the retest and obtaining any follow-up prescriptions through their veterinarian. Click Here to learn more about heartworm disease. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Adopt Murphy and Receive Murphy's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Murphy's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Murphy's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Murphy, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Murphy's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Murphy was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Murphy’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Murphy’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Murphy’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
