About Murphy

COURTESY LISTING Murphy is a courtesy listing, not in the AARF foster program, and we are posting online to help the owner find a home for them. Please visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/adoption-app/ to apply. Murphy is not your average dog, and he would be the first to tell you so, if he weren't too busy being suspicious of that thing over there. This handsome 50-pound Weimaraner/Hound/Aussie mix is ten months old, incredibly smart, and absolutely hilarious in the most endearing way possible. He comes with a generous helping of quirks, a whole lot of heart, and enough personality to fill a room, even if he is currently hiding behind the couch, questioning whether that room is safe. Here is the thing about Murphy, though. Once he decides you have earned his trust, he is one hundred percent all in, and that kind of devotion is rare and wonderful. He knows several commands like sit, down, and place, walks and rides in the car like a perfect gentleman, and is crate trained, though he may serenade you with some soulful hound yodeling before he settles in for the night. He is housetrained too, though when Murphy says it is his time to go outside, he means right now. Murphy thrives with other dogs his size or larger, and honestly, a calm confident canine friend is probably one of the best things you could give him. Watching other dogs navigate the world is genuinely helpful for this boy. With other dogs around he really comes out of his shell. He respects cats, though a bold cat may need to set the record straight if they are the zoomy type. Due to a strong chase instinct he is not recommended for homes with chickens or small children. Murphy needs a patient, dog savvy owner who understands fearful dogs and finds the quirks more charming than exhausting. He would be a fantastic candidate for someone interested in training or dog sports, because underneath all that nervous energy lives a really brilliant dog just waiting for the right person to help him shine.
