Murphy is a beautiful, gentle pup with a heart of gold. We don’t know his exact breed mix but looks likely to grow into quite a large boy. Murphy has changed hands a couple of times already in his short life and may be a little timid when first meeting new people, however his sweet personality truly shines once he feels comfortable. He's a well-behaved, lovable pupster and is already house-trained and sleeps peacefully through the night.

Murphy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would be fantastic with children, making him the perfect choice for a loving family. He's still learning the ropes - like which items are toys and which are household items 🤣 - but his eagerness to learn makes training a breeze. While he'll need some practice with walking on lead, this should improve with a routine of daily walks - and maybe some puppy training to learn the basics.

Murphy is already a great car passenger so is ready for adventures.
Murphy is simply a big softie who is ready to steal your heart and become your most devoted companion. Could he be the perfect addition to your family?

Before applying, please remember that adopting a pup into your home is a huge commitment. Puppies require daily exercise, positive and varied socialisation, grooming, training and playtime. When applying, please consider your work hours, holidays, and how busy your personal life is. Puppies will need someone who is home for most of the day with regular focused input, especially in those first six months after adoption.

MEDICAL NOTES
Adoption fee includes vet check, flea and worm treatment, puppy vaccinations, microchip (including transfer of ownership) and sterilisation at 6 months at a approved vet clinic (see list below).

ADOPTION DETAILS
Adoption Fee: $750

Our adoption process includes a meet-and-greet with you (and any dog already in your household, along with proof of their vaccination); a yard check/photos and a 2 week trial period to ensure your pup is the right fit for your home.
