About Murphy
Meet Murphy – your perfect canine companion!
Murphy is an affectionate and sensitive boy, deeply in tune with the world around him. He's on the lookout for his forever family, or even a foster home, who are ready to provide him the support he needs to be his best self.
After getting to know you, this big-hearted goofball transforms into the ideal lapdog and would also thrive in the company of a large-breed resident dog. Murphy loves attention, whether it's during playtime, car rides, or even routine activities like nail clipping. Give him some love, and he'll become your steadfast friend.
Due to his sensitive nature, Murphy benefits from gradual introductions to new experiences and occasionally relies on anti-anxiety medication. He's been impeccably trained, even embracing the use of a muzzle for safety. Murphy advocates for the good dogs who need them.
Blossoming in a foster home alongside a husky mix, Murphy has demonstrated his eagerness to please, responding well to commands like sit, drop, lie down, spin, "look," wait, and boundaries. Fully toilet and crate trained, he's a quick learner who enjoys positive reinforcement, especially in the form of treats.
Murphy's perfect match is someone confident and empathetic, capable of navigating his big feelings and strength. He needs an advocate to guide him through the vast world, and in return, he promises endless love for your efforts to keep him happy and secure.
The ideal family for Murphy would:
- Ideally include a large breed resident dog for companionship
- Have secure and tall fencing for his safety
- Consist of adults only (as kids might be a bit too overwhelming)
- Have experience with dogs like Murphy who thrive with extra tender loving care.
- Doesn’t have cats
Ready to welcome Murphy into your home? You're in for a lifetime of love and companionship!
