Check out this video of Murphy:
Murphy is definitely a mixed breed. We asked a few vets, and their expert opinion was that he was an Olympic Athlete crossed with a Cuddle Machine. If you are looking for a dog who will exhaust your 4-legged champ by day then spend the evening sitting on the couch with his head on your lap, then Murphy is the dog for you.
Murphy certainly needs more training and confidence building as he is quite a nervy fellow, but the good news is he is a clever boy. He quickly mastered sit and drop, he is toilet-trained and he could teach other dogs a thing or two about playing fetch. Taught your dog to drop the ball at your feet? He can do that, but if you want, he will put the ball in your hand. Think you can throw the ball farther than he can run? It will never happen...
If he has human company, Murphy doesn't mind being an only dog, but his ideal forever home will be with another dog who loves a game or ten of all-over-red-rover. His doggy sibling will need to be a robust soul who loves a tumble; Murphy is not aggressive ever, but with nearly every dog he meets, it is game-on and some dogs don't like that.
His forever home should not have cats or young children either as his size and enthusiasm is not for everybody. But in the right environment, this unique and brilliant lad would thrive.

All our dogs are desexed, C5 vaccinated with intranasal, microchipped, wormed, and flea treated. All necessary vetwork such as dentals, surgery, eye treatment are also carried out. We are no longer heartworm testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.

Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer free assistance for six weeks for any issues, a lifetime takeback policy with full refund of the adoption fee, and will always be available to offer advice.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you to as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.

Commonly asked questions and their answers are provided when you email us.

We look forward to receiving your application.
