About Murphy

Hi, I’m Murphy, a sweet and loyal guy.

I’m looking for a home where someone is home most of the day because I love the company of people!

I like to stay busy, especially with food enrichment as I came in underweight and food is a big thing for me, I love snacks a lot! But I can also snooze the day away on a cozy bed or wander around the back yard sniffing out hidden treats.

I would thrive with a kind, patient family who will build my trust before giving me pats and will provide me with engaging activities such as Kongs and training games. I’m eager to learn about life and new experiences every day with the help of my new family.

I’m best with children aged 15 and up who can respect my boundaries, give me space when I need and not overhandle me.

My ideal family will provide steady routines, lots of positive reinforcement, and lots of love.

If you want a loyal, trainable companion who loves companionship, exploration, and challenge, I’m your guy. I’ll bring energy, affection, and a big heart to every adventure. Let’s meet and start our next chapter together.

I am currently in a lovely foster home while I wait for my new family. To find out more about me, please enquire via the link below.
