Meet Murphy, a three-year-old petite Pibble, currently residing at the Spotsylvania County Animal Shelter near Fredericksburg. Murphy arrived with her brother, Bake, who is also seeking his forever home. Known for her friendly disposition, Murphy has tested very well with other dogs and is believed to do well with children aged six and up. She loves to run, play, and get her zoomies out, and walks well on a lead.
The term “Pibble” is an affectionate nickname for Pit Bull-type dogs. It highlights their gentle and loving nature and counters negative stereotypes.
The Spotsylvania County Animal Shelter is at capacity and urgently needs the community’s help. Potential adopters or fosters are encouraged to visit the shelter to meet Murphy or any of her canine friends. The shelter is located at 450 TV Drive, Fredericksburg. Visiting hours are Tuesday through Saturday, between noon and 4 p.m.. Please bring other dogs in your household for a meet and greet to ensure compatibility. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 540-507-7459 or visit their website.
