My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet handsome Murphy! Murphy is a five-year-old, sixty (60) pound Mastiff pittie mix who is as adorable as he is photogenic!

Murphy is a charmer who makes fast friends with everyone he meets; truly Murphy loves all people. His tail is always wagging so he would do best in a home with children ten and older who won't be knocked down by the enthusiastic love for life his swishing tail shows. Though Murphy enjoys the company of other dogs, he can be initially shy, and need some time to warm up to them. Murphy would be happy to share his home with a laid-back female canine companion, tho his ideal home would not include cats. Murphy is house trained and crate trained, and walks well on a leash. Murphy has manners, he is polite enough to not jump on people, even though he loves them, and would rather hang out with human friends than play with toys.

All in all, Murphy is an extraordinarily handsome, very well behaved dog, who is a good mix of playful and laid-back. He is a really happy guy who is looking for his "furever" home.You can see more pictures of Murphy on Facebook: http://tinyurl.com/gl6s5qf

Murphy is being fostered in Framingham.

The adoption fee is $300.

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
