Murphy is a 5 year old Mix-Breed in Pickens, SC, who needs $2,000 for Pelvic Fracture Repair.

Murphy came into my life in May 2020, as the world shut down and I prepared to start teaching. With so much uncertainty, I knew his name had to be Murphy, as in Murphy’s Law. Over the years, he’s been with me through moves, job changes, losses, and fostering dogs. He’s truly my best buddy, helping me through the highs and lows of life.

On Thursday night Murphy was hit by a truck in front of our house. The truck never hit the breaks or turned around. I immediately took him to Fetch Specialty & Emergency Veterinary Centers - Greenville, SC where they determined he would need surgery to evaluate and repair numerous pelvic fractures using plates.

Murphy is my “watch dog.” By that, I mean every day when I pull in he’s sitting on the back of the couch looking out the window for me to come home. He loves to hold hands and loves to play fetch. He’s done a great job helping guide the dogs I’ve fostered and helps set the example for what it means to be a Good Boy.

The cost of emergency vet stay combined with surgery greatly exceeds what I had set aside in my emergency fund. Not having Murphy at home with me has been heartbreaking and I just want him home to put his paw on my hand again.
