My name is MURPHY!

Murphy is an affectionate and caring companion! She is extremely smart (can learn anything with a little treat motivation :) and likes to be both gently petted and enthusiastically greeted. She is a calm dog and will be a consistent source of company throughout the day and calmly let you know she needs to go out with the boop of her wet nose. She likes a quiet and calm environment and a lot of new and foreign noises and consistent activity make her a bit anxious. She can tolerate little kids but certainly prefers older kids and adults. She will thrive in an environment that is predictable and quiet (not a ton of construction or continuous traffic or neighbors/cars/etc.). She is mostly quiet but will give a protective bark if she hears a strange sound or sees a stranger dog in her sightlines. She will greet new friends (dogs and people) with energetic curiosity though won't jump up - just curious sniffing and bids for pets and attention. She doesn't need constant attention and can do well for long periods on her own. She has been very well trained and is so excited to bring her love and companionship to a new home!
