Owner Info: Murphy is an indoor dog who is confined to one area of the house.  He is housebroken and leash trained.  He is an outgoing dog who does well with adults and teenagers and other dogs.  Murphy lived with two golden retrievers since birth and did very well with them.   Murphy has not been around very young children, only older neighborhood children. Murphy is diabetic and blind, he takes insulin (shots) twice a day.  He also drinks a lot of water at times.  Murphy has cataracts from being diabetic, he could regain his eyesight with surgery.  He did see an ophthalmologist in January, 2012. Murphy's owner is willing to pay for his insulin while he is in a foster home.  Also, she will transport Murphy to his new home.  Murphy is in very good health.  He is very energetic, happy, lovable, and affectionate.  He will make an excellent companion.  He is very smart and loves the outdoors. Murphy's owner states, "Please help me with a foster home for Murphy.  He is a great dog and has a lot of life left in him.  He will make someone a wonderful companion!  I can't put him in a shelter - he would not do well there.  I am praying that there will be an opening for Murphy in one of your foster homes."
