About Murphy

Murphy is a 2 years old Catahula Leopard dog mix. In January 2021, he was pulled by a local rescue from a high kill shelter in Illinois. We don't know what his background was. He was extremely terrified and emotionally shut down. We were able work through this and Murphy blossomed. Unfortunately about a year ago he decided he does not like other animals in the home. Since Murphy does not like other animals, he needs to be an only pet. He will unfortunately attack unprovoked. He must go to a home that will commit to a lifetime with him being the only pet in their home. He is a very sweet affectionate pup that loves to snuggle and play fetch. Murphy can be protective of his owner if he feels they are being threatened. It breaks my heart to have to look for a new home for him. He has attacked a couple of the dogs in our house several times. I was bitten trying to separate the fights. This was 100% my fault and I do not blame the dogs in the slightest. We've been trying to make it work for almost a year with no progress. In this situation we have to think of the people, (hopeful) future kids and dogs in the household. We feel it will be better for all involved if we are able to locate a home for Murphy without other animals. He likes all people and kids. He is potty trained with a doggy door. Neutered. Heart worm negative. Up to date on all vaccines. He does have anxiety and is on Reconcile for this. Located in Eau Claire, Michigan.
