About Murphy
Please let us take this moment to introduce you to Murphy a gorgeous boy who’s rugged looks will you have thinking he is a tough guy but not so secretly he is a big softy who once comfortable in his surroundings, blossoms
Murphy and his two brothers came into care a few weeks ago and while they were in great health they were very sheltered and not used to many things that happened in the world.
Murphy and his brothers were very timid – getting into the car was a huge deal. Having a lead on was a big scary thing and their ‘go to’ was to drop on the ground and freeze.
Murphy’s foster mum has worked really hard with him on giving him confidence and excitement when learning new things and going for walks
Murphy is a 10 and a ½ month old Long Haired German Shepherd who like his brothers is just the most divine boy in the world and he is now waiting for his chance to find his forever family.
Murphy has had some help with getting confidence with other dogs in his foster carers home – he went from being scared of a small French bulldog barking saying hello to now playing with other big breed dogs and loving it.
We will be requiring that Murphy goes to a home with another dog for socialization and also just good old fashion company and play time!
Murphy is loving being able to sleep in side at night – he has a lovely big dog bed that he loves to sleep on but has been known from time to time sleeping away on the couch or a bed if allowed.
Murphy looooooves being around kids and will make the best play buddy (and snuggle buddy) for anyone with kids. Murphy loves a good tummy rub and his favorite activities are playing soccer and fetch with the kids.
Murphy is a gentle boy with lovely manners and will sit on command. He can sometimes in his excitement of playing jump and has been known to knock a small child over but he will always reward anyone he knocks over with a kiss and a sad puppy look.
Murphy's idea of heaven is being able to interact with his family – inside and outside the house.
Murphy is toilet trained
Murphy is very curious with the cat that lives at the house but that’s because he wants to be friends and still trying to win him over. Murphy is also good with the chickens (as long as they are in the pen – if they free range he will chase and try and get them to play with him)
Murphy has had a few hydro baths and grooms since being in care – unfortunately he did have a bit of a messy matted coat when he arrived, but he is now getting the hang of these and loves the cuddles that he gets from the groomer. He is also very happy to be brushed thru the week.
Murphy loves nothing more than at night time being in the house with his family - having belly rubs or cuddles and the smile he gives you makes it all worthwhile.
Murphy has a lot of love to give, and any family would be lucky to have him part of their lives

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 do not hold any animals so please only apply if you are ready to adopt now
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 $100) 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
AFTER THE TRIAL PERIOD
