Murphy is a ten-year-old German Shepherd mix in Flintstone, GA, who needs $800 for urgent surgery.

Chloe F. has a heart of gold and she needs your help! She rescued Murphy, a blind senior dog, from a local animal shelter. Immediately after she adopted Murphy, she brought him to her veterinarian at Animal Clinic Inc. of Chattanooga, who discovered the poor dog had a malignant tumor.

"We need to remove whatever this malignant growth is," Chloe, tells Waggle. "The shelter won't provide any help because once the dog is home, he's no longer their responsibility. Murphy is our responsibility, our companion, friend, and sweet boy. We want him around as long as possible."

Chloe was not expecting a big surgery bill days after adopting Murphy. "I am a full-time student and part-time web content editor. My fiancée does stone engraving," she says. "The cost was much more than we were prepared for. We love Murphy, and he is truly our family. Any help is appreciated."

Chloe says Murphy fits in so well at their home, and they love him so much already. "As far as we know, Murphy has always has been blind," she says. "His blindness doesn't slow him down. We say, 'Bonk' a lot in this household because that's what Murph does. He bonks into stuff but never feels sorry for himself. He's not a fast-paced dog, so he doesn't injure himself when he bonks, but when he's searching for pets and bonks into us, it's the sweetest thing!"

Please help Murphy get his tumor removed and finally live happily ever after with his new human family, who adores him!
