My story

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

History: Murray is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Shy at First, Snuggly Best Friend Forever — Meet Murray!

Murray is a 6-month-old blue merle Chihuahua weighing just over 5 pounds of pure, adorable nugget. With his big eyes, unique coloring, and tiny size, he turns heads everywhere — and once he feels safe, he is all about being close to his people.

Murray is a breeder-release puppy, so he’s still learning that the world (and humans) can be kind and predictable. He can be shy with new situations and quick movements, but he’s making progress every day. He will happily snuggle next to you on the couch for pets and naps, will crawl into your lap when you’re sitting at his level, and is starting to approach people on his own to say hello. If he’s in a “safe spot” like his dog bed, he’s comfortable letting people come up and give him gentle pets.

This little guy enjoys playing with toys and even knows exactly where to find them in the toy bin. He loves other dogs and really takes note of what they do and what they trust. While he could be an only dog with patience and time, he would likely adjust faster and build confidence more quickly in a home with another friendly, confident dog.

Murray is still working on potty training but does great on a consistent schedule. He sleeps overnight in a kennel in the bedroom and does wonderfully — quiet, clean, and dry. When left alone, he can feel anxious and doesn’t do as well in a kennel, but he has had much better success when gated in a safe, puppy-proofed area with his bed and toys.

Murray is looking for a patient, loving home that understands shy dogs and will let him build confidence at his own pace. In return, he will give you the sweetest snuggles, tiny tail wags, and the absolute joy of watching a timid little peanut blossom into a confident best friend.
