Yesterday, our beloved Murph — an 8-year-old Goldendoodle with the sweetest soul — was the victim of a sudden, devastating attack by another dog. He’s now at the emergency vet in critical condition fighting for his life. His injuries are severe, and the current estimate for lifesaving care is $16,000–$20,000 in addition to the $5,000+ they've already spent over the past 24 hours. His family is doing everything they can, but they need help to give Murph the chance he deserves.

If you know Murph, you know what a special dog he is. He’s the kind of gentle, loving companion who wins over every single person he meets. He’s a devoted big brother to his little sister, Millie. A loyal shadow to his parents. A grand-dog adored by his grandparents. He’s a dog with a huge heart, a relentless joy for life, and, yes, a mischievous habit of sneaking into the bathroom trash when he knows no one’s looking.

Murph is ball-obsessed, a master of fetch, and happiest when he’s romping through the woods, camping with his family, or hiking new trails. He’s the ultimate adventure buddy with so many more years of love and excitement ahead of him. We refuse to let the financial burden stand in the way of Murph’s recovery. His family is devastated and doing everything possible to save him, but they can’t do it alone.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, brings Murph one step closer to healing and coming home.
