Hi, I’m Murphy!

I’m a calm but playful guy who loves to stay busy throughout the day. Whether it’s chasing my ball, enjoying the outdoors, or going for a daily walk, I’m always up for a bit of fun. I get excited about treats and food, but I’m patient enough to wait for them.

I’m friendly and enjoy meeting new people. I can settle down quickly after a little excitement, though, and I’m quite gentle with everyone I meet. I also like meeting other dogs and am good in new situations.

When we’re out for walks, I might get a little nervous when loud trucks or buses go by, but I’m working on it. I’m getting better on the leash too, although I might pull a bit at first—once I calm down, I walk nicely by your side. I’m learning “heel” and can already sit, lie down, and stay. I understand “gentle” when it comes to taking treats, and I’m pretty good about listening when called.

I absolutely love belly rubs and massages. People always compliment my coat, and I’m always happy to soak up some attention. I would be thrilled to have a large fenced yard where I can play fetch, even in the cold weather. I’d be fine with other dogs or as your one and only, but I do enjoy being with my family and also know how to relax on the couch and take some space when needed.

I’d love to have a family who can give me the exercise I need, and someone strong enough to handle me if I spot a squirrel!

Coming soon
