My story

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

Murphy is a beautiful Border Collie with a huge heart and a deep desire to bond with his people. He is incredibly affectionate, loyal, and thrives on connection and routine. Once he trusts you, he is devoted and happiest when he is close by, whether that means following you from room to room, relaxing at your feet, or soaking up gentle attention.

He does best in a home that understands working dogs and can provide structure, consistency, and mental stimulation.

Murphy would be happiest as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up one on one attention and not have to share space or resources. He has struggled in the past with marking. He is sensitive and thrives in an environment that is calm, predictable, and routine oriented.

Murphy has a few repetitive or self soothing behaviors that are best supported with routine, enrichment, and gentle guidance.

Murphy would shine in a home that can offer patience, continued training, and a peaceful environment where he can feel secure.
