My story

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

My name is Murphee. I am a handsome, 8 year old, neutered male Chihuahua mix. I weigh in at about 14 lbs. I have exemplary house manners. I am quiet in the house, I do all my toileting outside and I don't have any annoying puppyish behaviors like chewing up shoes, furniture, etc. You can count on me to behave myself even when you aren't looking. I love to go for walks. I get so excited when I see that leash. I walk like a drunken sailor (all over the place) but I have a good energy level and a very jaunty little prance. I can keep up with you. In fact, at times you may need to prompt me to go a little slower. I am cautious around new people and can be a little barky when someone new is around. Once I get to know you and figure out that you mean me no harm, we can be friends. I love to run around my fenced backyard. I think I could get along with another small dog but I don't really like the big galoot that lives in my foster home. He is a goofy pup and likes to play rough. I find the young whippersnapper a little annoying. I believe dogs should act in a more dignified manner. I am very good in my crate although I see no reason for me to be in there. I am equally good lounging on the couch. I would very much like a home of my own where I can feel safe and secure. My dream would be a quiet home with adults. I don't think I would do well with young kids but older kids who can respect my dignity might be okay. I am a low maintenance guy. If you want a well-mannered companion, I am your man. I am up to date on my vaccinations, negative for Heartworm and Lyme disease and microchipped.

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.Murphee
