Murphy

Murphy is an adorable puppy who loves running around with the other dogs in foster care with him. He is also in foster care with a cat who he shown no interest in. He is gentle with kids and loves cuddles. He is well behaved, is learning to sit on command and is great with any dog he meets. Murphy LOVES playing in water and can quite often be found hanging in his shell pool. He thinks the beach is the best place in the world.

As he still a puppy it would be ideal for Murphy to have ongoing training for his manners like basic cues and calming techniques. He is food motivated and very trainable. When leaving him home alone he would really benefit from enrichments and boredom busters such as Kong’s bones to chew on lots of toys to play with and treats around the backyard that way he can keep herself occupied until you get home to play and walk him. As Murphy is still a puppy he is too young to be left alone for long periods of time. He would need to go to a home where someone is home quite a lot or who have another dog to keep him company. It is also important that he is welcome inside to be part of the family. As with all puppies, Murphy is still learning all the tricks and lessons that will help him become a well-rounded and good dog.
