Murphy Finds New Home in Boston

“Murphy,” a Culebra sato (mixed breed) finds a home in Boston, MA with Cara and Sam!

Little Murphy was recently hit by a car, but the incident likely saved his life as he then came to the attention of Animal Welfare of Culebra. Murphy was sent to the vet in Fajardo (by airplane) for x-rays, got  neutered, dewormed, started on flea/tick meds, and then came back to Culebra where he was fostered until a great family;  Cara and Sam and their other Culebra sato, Chopper, adopted him.

On the day Murphy was scheduled to fly to Boston, his day was long from the alarm going off at 5:15am to catch the 6:30am ferry to driving to San Juan and meeting his escort, Carelyn at the airport. His flight up to Boston even came complete with an hour’s time change.

His new family reports that Murphy and Chopper are “in love” and even “sharing rawhides” and having the best of times!

In order to undertake its humane work, Animal Welfare of Culebra relies solely on contributions. As such, AWC truly appreciates all donations.

    My wife, Francie, and I live about 3 miles from Sam (our son) and Cara and we have already had two visits from Murphy—and, of course, many, many visits from Chopper. They are both wonderful dogs, full of energy and interest in everything around them. They get along beautifully together, with almost non-stop playing. Sam and Cara make great dog parents and are very kind to them.

    I agree totally with Mike Hawkey. Sam and Cara do make great dog parents, and I’m very proud of having Chopper and Murphy as our granddogs. They are beautiful as are their parents. THANK YOU!!!
