Murphy

Hi, I'm Murphy and I'm waiting for my new family to come and take me home.

What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• Lots of love and attention
• Lots of exercise

Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Cats or male dogs
• Small children as I do get a bit mouthy when excited - training should teach me to stop doing this

My best features:
• LOVE people, ball of energy, super affectionate
• Very playful
• I can sit and shake on command
• Housetrained

Where I need to improve / Training required
I can be protective of food that I value highly - I will require training to stop this behaviour
I am a bit head shy and will duck/startles when touched on my head but warm quickly to you afterwards
Mouths when excited - training required

ANY EXISTING DOGS MUST COME TO THE SHELTER TO MEET MURPHY BEFORE AN ADOPTION CAN BE APPROVED
