My story

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

Murray is a very sweet, tiny dog that is easy to have in your home. He's house trained and enjoys laying in the sun, rainy days, and naps. He is low energy, and aside from occasionally barking at the mailman he likes to lounge on comfortable spaces and have zoomies outside. He loves walks and does well on them, and is acclimated to both loud city streets and quiet neighborhoods. He requires grooming once a month with an occasional bath but is otherwise low maintenance. No health issues whatsoever and easy to take on car rides. We recently had a baby and he has just been unable to adapt - he's very territorial/snappy around the baby and we don't want to put the baby at risk for confrontation. We've had him for 5 years, but are wfh 6-7 hrs a day and we want someone that will give him the attention and love he deserves. He does well with other adults (we've done multiple professional training programs with him - one on one) just not a fan of other dogs or small children.
