Murphy

About This Dog for Adoption

Murphy's ideal home

Murphy is starting his search for his new forever home, and would thrive in an adult only household with minimal visitors as he can be worried by strangers. Murphy also struggles around other dogs, so would like to be the only pet in the home, and will rely on his adopters to advocate for his space when out and about to help build his confidence. He is a clever boy, already knowing his name, sit, touch and spin, and is eager to learn more if some smelly, high value treats are on offer. He is currently working closely with our behaviour team who have started his muzzle training, something which the team will be able to show potential adopters during meets here at the centre. Murphy will need his own secure, private garden to allow him lots of fun off lead time to zoom around and play a fun game of fetch. He was housetrained in his previous home, so having access to a garden will also help when refreshing this skill. Murphy needs his new family to be home most of the day initially, and once he is secure and settled in the home, will be able to have his leaving hours built up gradually. He will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home and may need a home trial to make sure he transitions smoothly into his new home. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes 7-10 days, but this can be longer depending on the needs of the dog.
