About Murphy

Murphy is a 14 year old Border Collie/Aussie mix with a sweet temperament and loving disposition. Don't let his age fool you; he is playful, likes to chase his toys, roll around in the grass, explore his yard, and LOVES to go for walks...as many as he can get. Murphy came to us as a local stray. He was spotted in a field but, was scared and skittish so, it took almost 2 weeks for us to finally catch him. When we did he was in rough shape. He was shaved in spots due to his coat matting, got a bath, and he was in in desperate need of a dental. Murphy also needed love. We are not sure how long he was out there, braving the elements but, Murphy craved human contact when he finally got to his foster home. Murphy likes to know where his people are at all times. Once he knows where you are going to hang out he will plop down and watch with a curious eye at whatever you are doing (unless there is food involved�'�|then he will be right by your side). If you have things to do around the house, he will follow you everywhere. He loves belly rubs, ear scratches, and will roll right into you when you hang with him on the floor (he doesn't even attempt to get up on furniture). Murphy would love a family that can be at home with him more than not and gets along with both dogs AND cats. Murphy has a few signs of his age such as a few grunts when he plops down, some hearing loss (so he needs a secure, fenced yard), he has had some teeth and a few cysts removed, and he is more sensitive to the heat. Otherwise, he is just a good boy that wants a safe and loving home to spend the rest of his days. Murphy is housetrained, crate trained, up-to-date on vetting, microchipped, and neutered. Murphy is ready to be in his forever home! If you would like to meet Murphy, please complete the adoption application on our website: www.furfunrescue.org.
