Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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


My wife and I have had Murphy for 7 years. He's listens well, knows many tricks and is very playful. He actively seeks human affection and attention. He is a little on the hyper side at times and loves to run around and burn off energy in the yard.

The reason we are looking for a good new home for our dog is he just doesn't get the attention he needs. We have a 1 and a half year old daughter and are trying for baby number two so we have not been able to be as attentive to him as we would like to. He is great with our daughter but hey have been separated for the most part since she was born. He is great when playing with her and lets her pet him whenever she wants. We have kept them separate as sometimes doesn't know his own size so we don't want her to get trampled or accidentally scratched if the doorbell rings or someone comes over.

He has been great with other dogs but has not had much expose to other animals. We are looking for a home that can give him the attention he needs.
