About Murphy - 6 Year Old Maltese X Poodle
Meet Murphy, a Gorgeous 6-Year-Old Maltese x Poodle, Urgently Seeking His Lifesaver!
Time is running out for Murphy, the sweetest soul you'll ever meet. This playful and loving furball is facing the heartbreaking possibility of not making it if he doesn't find his forever home soon. All he's asking for is a chance – a chance for someone to see past his quirks and understand the beautiful spirit that lies within.
Murphy is needing that one human or humans who will embrace his individuality without any expectations. His loyalty is unmatched, and he thrives on the company of his owners, preferring to be close by and reveling in moments of shared joy.
However, Murphy has his preferences, and cuddles and long pats aren't on his list. A home without children or other dogs is a must, as this gentle soul enjoys his personal space. Despite his quirks, Murphy is a bundle of joy during a game of fetch, basking in the sun, or exploring gardens to uncover the mysteries of bugs.
Navigating walks with Murphy can be challenging due to his reactivity to passing cars, bikes, and scooters. A backyard oasis with grass and enriching activities is essential for his happiness and well-being.
Grooming is a gentle affair with this adorable boy, and while sedation is necessary for clipping, he welcomes a brush and a face trim with a careful touch. His coat, a testament to his uniqueness, requires maintenance to keep it knot-free.
Despite his challenges, Murphy is a smart cookie, showcasing tricks like sit, shake, roll, high five, drop, crawl, and always responding when called. This gentle soul is currently managing anxiety with medication and requires an owner who will understand his unique needs. He is not suitable to be adopted to elderly people due to his level of care required.
Desexed, microchipped, and vaccinated, Murphy awaits his hero in Fern Bay, NSW. If you feel you can reach into your heart to help this special boy, please fill out the adoption questionnaire at https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt

Medical notes

and understanding of his anxiety behaviours. He is also currently on medication for his anxiety and will need to continue those under the care of his treating professionals.
Adoption details
(1) The first step is to fill in our online Adoption Questionnaire:
https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
(2) If the questionnaire is approved we will arrange a property check so we
can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've applied for.
(3) After that we will arrange for you to meet the pet, usually at the foster
carer's home, nearby park or your home.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family
member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption.
