Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi everyone, my name is Murphy and I am a delightful and active young guy! I am a puppy, so like every other puppy I am still learning. I have so much love to give! I am an all American mutt, the rescue thinks maybe poodle mix, but who knows. I am about 7 months old, and could grow to be 60 pounds of adorable!
I like other dogs, but I’m ok as a single dog, I would love all of the attention. Although I am so polite when I meet other dogs on leash, I love to play and wrestle with my doggy friends, so no little doggy friends for me, only ones that can play and wrestle back, please. I like kids, but am still learning that the little ones are a bit more fragile. Best to have the kiddos in my family be a bit older… I don’t want to knock anyone down because I am so excited to see them!
I like to ride in the car in the backseat and I just settle and lay down, and thoroughly enjoy walks. My foster mom thinks I’d enjoy swimming too! Maybe you can take me on a swimming adventure. I do not like to be left alone for too long, so really no more than 4 hours in the crate for now. I would love to have a family that was home with me a lot. My foster Mom gives me lots of puzzles, bones, chewy things in the crate when she is not home. This helps keep my brain engaged so I don’t get into trouble or feel anxious. I am super smart and look forward to training so I can learn everything you would like me to learn.
My foster Mom loves me, and says I don’t have a mean bone in my body. “Everything is cute about him!” she says. And I have to say that obviously I agree. I love getting love from you! And in return you will get all the love and snuggles you could ever wish for. Her favorite thing is how I snuggle my head into her neck like a baby when we cuddle.
Thanks for taking the time to read my bio. I hope you will set up a time for a meet and greet because when you meet me in person you’re going to fall in love, and I’m sure I will too. Can’t wait to start the next chapter…with you.
