About Murphy
🐾 MEET MURPHY — the Frenchie with charm, cheek, and a whole lot of heart 🐾
Murphy is a handsome 4 year and 1 month old French Bulldog who somehow manages to be both a world-class couch potato and the resident household comedian.
He came into care as a private surrender, through no fault of his own, and he has been wowing everyone with his lovable nature ever since.
Murphy is a nap connoisseur — sprawled across the couch like he pays rent — but when the zoomies hit, stand back! He’ll launch into full Frenchie turbo mode: ears flapping, paws flying, and joy radiating from every little wiggle.
Around the home, Murphy is a total gentleman.
He’s toilet trained, confidently uses a doggy door, and prefers to keep life relaxed and crate-free.
He enjoys his independence, but being close to his people is truly his happy place. Whether draped on the couch or curled up in his bed for a deeper snooze, Murphy’s favourite spot will always be wherever you are.
This sweet boy is a social soul who thrives with companionship.
He especially adores female dog friends and would love a canine sister to play and snuggle with.
He’s great with people of all ages, including children, and fits naturally into the fun and flow of family life.
Murphy is not Cat friendly and small pets remain untested
On lead, Murphy is a polite little walker — unless an irresistible smell grabs his attention, in which case, he becomes a determined detective.
He enjoys short strolls in the cool morning air, taking the world in one sniff at a time.
One of Murphy’s favourite daily rituals is collecting his toys each morning and parading them proudly outside, one by one, like treasures he’s sharing with the world.
He has a delightfully cheeky sense of humour and a magical talent for making people laugh. Whether he’s showing off his toys, zooming through the living room, or flopping beside you with a dramatic Frenchie sigh, Murphy brings warmth and joy wherever he goes.
This boy is motivated by attention, praise, cuddles, and being near his humans. Treats are a bonus — you are the real reward.
He requires no regular grooming, and while he experiences mild skin irritation, it’s easily managed with a Cytopoint injection.
Murphy is looking for a loving home where he can be adored for the funny, affectionate, loyal companion he is.
A canine sister would make his heart sing, but most importantly, he’s searching for a family who will fold him into their everyday life — from morning cuddles to evening couch time.
With Murphy around, every day feels lighter, every moment sweeter, and every heart just a little fuller.

Adoption details
Paw Prints Canine Rescue is a non for profit dog rescue located in Southeast Queensland.
All our dogs leave our care with full vet work (up-to-date vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, heart worm and intestinal wormed and flea treated).
Please note - They will not leave for their new homes until they are 12 weeks of age and have been desexed, micro-chipped and vaccinated up to date.
Please note - we are not a pound or have kennels - all our dogs stay in foster carers homes and therefore dogs are not able to be simply viewed - only approved applicants will meet the dogs.

Please note - We don't take calls on adoption enquiries - an application must be completed

Once an adoption enquiry is completed our admin team will assess the application and if successful we will arrange for a meet and greet to be completed. We may also request photos of your yard for consideration of your application. Please note that we will do no more than 3 meet and greets per dog.
Approved applicants will be contacted to arrange a time for a meet & greet via email. You must bring your current dog along to the meeting if you are meeting another dog/puppy, this is to ensure they get along before commencing adoption - proof of your dogs up-to-date vaccination is required before any meet and greet is arranged.
Our adoption fee must be cleared in our bank account before any animal is available for pick up. Please note we bank with ANZ - any other bank may take 48 hours to process the monies.
Paw Prints Canine Rescue has a 10 day trial period – this basically means that if for any reason the adoption does not work out and the dog needs to be returned to us, the adoption fee minus an admin fee (minimum is $250) will be returned to the adoptees via bank transfer within 7 working days.
Please note that if an interstate adoption needs to be returned or regional adoption all transport cost with be paid by the adopter.
Please also note while this can be a very exciting time for everyone, it can also be an overwhelming time for dogs and we ask that you do try and allow your new family member to settle in their new home and adjust
INTERSTATE ADOPTIONS **
Any transport costs are to be paid by the adopting family, however we can assist you in helping with transport to airports etc.
** Please note some of our dogs are not available for interstate adoption - each bio will state if available for adoption - please check before applying.
