My story

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

Murphy is 6.5 years old and is the definition of a cuddle bug. He loves to be snuggled up next to you or under your blankets. He enjoys playing outside and going for walks. He has been living with another dog since he was brought home from the breeder at 8 weeks and has spent time with multiple other dogs without issue. He is pretty chill most of the time and would surely do fine with other animals too.

We are looking to find Murphy a great home that will be more in line with his personality. We now have a toddler that doesn’t understand his boundaries when he gets nervous around her. Overall he is a very sweet dog but there are times he just prefers to have his space and not be bothered (when he is sleeping/eating, for example).

This was a very hard decision and we tried working with dog trainer prior to coming to the conclusion that he is just not happy in a home with small unpredictable children. We hope to find him a home that is a better fit for him.
