MURPHY
Sex/colour Male Bluebrindle (rough coated)
D.O.B: approx 2004
Breed: Lurcher poss Deerhound-Greyhound mix
Came to AfG: mid 2009
MURPHY came to AfG from stray kennels, he was picked up straying with a
Greyhound.
The Greyhound went to a local rescue and as AfG had a suitable foster
home for Murphy we could take him straight away.
This was before microcipping was made law, Murphy was neither chipped or
had a collar and ID tag on when founds.
Strangely he was in good condition, very placid and friendly and
neutered! so we would never know of his past, he may have been rescued
and been a family pet at some point in his life then possibly stolen
later to be abandoned.
So apart from having a bath, starting his vaccination course and treated
for internal & external parasites, Murphy was adopted by his foster
carers as he was happily settled in with their other rescued hound.
Our vet estimated Murphys age to be between 4 and 5 years.
A few years later, Murphy was joined by AfG rescued Greyhound Cara
(see: CARA Greyhounds homed)
Photos below shows Murphy when he came to AfG and the above photo shows
him with Greyhound Cara on a page from the AfG 2013 calendar.
