Murdoc is a three-year-old Maltese mix who was found stray in Fresno and is now ready for a fresh start. This little guy is understandably timid at first, but underneath that cautious exterior is a gentle, loving heart that’s slowly learning to trust again.
True to his Maltese roots, Murdoc is sensitive, devoted, and deeply people-oriented. Maltese are known for forming strong bonds with their humans, and we’re already seeing that in him — he just needs a little time to feel safe. Once he warms up, his sweet, affectionate nature begins to shine.
Murdoc is friendly and kind, simply taking things at his own pace. He’s the type of dog who will blossom beautifully in a calm, patient home where he can build confidence and feel secure. With positive reinforcement and reassurance, his personality will continue to unfold.
At three years old, Murdoc is past the puppy stage but still young, with so much love to give. He’s ready to trade uncertainty for cozy beds, gentle voices, and a family who will cherish him.
If you’re looking for a soft-hearted, loyal little companion who will bond deeply and love you wholeheartedly, Murdoc may be your perfect match. 💛🐾
