Murphy
“Do you like a shy guy? Maybe Murphy’s your man.
Murphy is a handsome, sweet, gentle youngster who takes a while to feel comfortable and show his personality. He’s a total homebody and would much rather enjoy a leisurely “sniffari” around the backyard than take a walk through a busy neighborhood.
Murphy is looking for a quiet, low-activity home without children, where he can settle in at his own pace. He currently lives with a greyhound and a cat in his foster home and would be happy to share his home with other dogs and cats. Because unfamiliar sights and sounds can startle him, he’ll need a securely fenced yard.
Once Murphy feels safe, his sweet, playful personality begins to emerge. For a patient person willing to give him the time and space he needs, Murphy will be an incredibly rewarding companion.”
