One of our inspirations for this group is Tonyas boy Murray. Murray is a special-needs boy who came into rescue six years ago. He was in a car accident with his elderly owner and has neurological issues as a result. After the accident he spent 12-16 weeks in a shelter while his owner tried to recover. When it was clear she was moving to assisted living and but couldnt take him, the family asked the shelter to place him. Murray then made a brief stop with another rescue volunteer who pulled him from shelter in Vermont and transitioned him to Cavalier Rescue USA. Murray was fostered by Tonya and her family. They eventually adopted him, five months later, when there wasnt a good match available for his special needs. Over the years they have dealt with seizures, behavioral challenges due to his neuro limitations, and the challenges of an aging cavalier. Best estimate is that he is somewhere between 13 and 14 years old now. Here are the photos of Murray when he first arrived in foster care and a recent one from last week. You can see how he has aged but hes still a total character and much loved.
