About Murphy
Meet Murphy, a 5-year-old German Wire Haired Pointer known for his impeccable manners with other dogs and a well-behaved, happy demeanor. Murphy is a male who truly shines in canine company, showing exceptional sociability and friendliness.
Murphy does experience separation anxiety and would greatly benefit from either targeted training to help manage this or having a companion who can spend a lot of time with him. To ensure his safety, a home with secure fencing is essential.
Aside from his need for companionship, Murphy is a loving and gentle soul who also gets along splendidly with cats, often showing a playful side around them. He’s not just good with other animals; he’s equally wonderful with people, exuding warmth and affection.
If you’re looking for a well-mannered and loving companion who can thrive in a home with other pets and where someone is often present, Murphy might just be your perfect match. Come meet this charming guy and see how quickly he can become a beloved member of your family.

Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
