Story
Murphy is a 1 year old Black Lab - German Shepard mix. We got her as a puppy from a friend. We raised her with a child and cats and she gets along well with both. She is full of energy and loves to show affection by licking her humans. She loves to chase and be chased so playtime involves a lot of running. She is very fast and likes to be chased at the dog park. We are looking for someone that can provide Murphy with the room to run and the love she craves. Murphy is not a barker but she will when she sees stranger at the front door.

Hi, I`m Charlie!I`m a 2 year old mix looking for my forever home. Could you help me? I am a well-mannered dog and I show it by walking well on my leash and listening to commands. I know sit, down, and roll over! My favorite activity is playing fetch with a tennis ball and also eating lots of treats. I`m already neutered and up-to-date on my vaccines. All I need is a place to call home! Come see me at the shelter today!
