My story

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

Murphy came in with his brother Mack. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Murphy started out more independent than his brother and still probably is a bit, but he also seeks out attention from time to time and can be very affectionate.

Murphy looks more like pure Aussie than his brother, but he may still be mixed.

We'd love Murphy and Mack to be adopted together. They are bonded and thrive in each other's company and the company of other dogs. A physically fenced yard is required.

Murphy is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio. If you are interested in adopting Murphy, please complete the online application here (copy and paste into your browser):

Additional adoption info

Once you find a pet you would like to meet, we will send you an adoption application. If it is accepted, we will set up a combined home check/meet-and-greet for you to meet your potential future furry family member, and to go over our adoption contract with you. All of our pets come spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccines.

More about this rescue

Lost Pet Recovery, Inc. (LPR) is a team of experienced volunteeers who specialize in the safe recovery of skittish dogs. While our main purpose is to reunite missing dogs with their families, we do catch stray dogs who have proven difficult for others to catch. When we are unable to locate these dogs' homes, we place them for adoption.

All dogs we adopt out receive medical care, including being spayed or neutered, without exception. Not only does it provide health benefits to these dogs and stop the cycle of filling Ohio's streets and shelters with more puppies, but it also reduces the risk of the dog becoming loose again.

In addition to safely recovering lost pets and promoting spay/neuter, our group provides education to owners of dogs we recover, shelter staff, and the general public about protecting flight risk dogs - always beginning with the spay/neuter conversation.
