My story

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

Murphy is a 5 year old pure bred blue Merle mini Australian shepherd. 29 pounds and the sweetest boy. I got him as a puppy from a breeder in Bakersfield during CoVid. He is loving, loyal, playful, smart, loves walks and fetch. He will do great with an active single person or couple or family that does not have young (baby - 8 years kids). Aussies have the sheep herding instinct and he thinks little kids are sheep so he will bark and chase them and would need training to be around little kids. No aggression issues - super passive and will be your shadow and want to cuddle and play with you all day. If you love dogs and being active outside (hiking/walks/dog park) and want a new best friend he is the guy for you. I am single and moving out of state for work and this breaks my heart because he is as perfect as he seems but my schedule won't allow me to have him anymore. He is perfectly healthy, fully up to date on all shots and money doesnt matter - just want a loving home for him
