Murphy didn't have the easiest start in life — he was essentially feral as a puppy — but WOW has he come a long way! He's looking for a patient, understanding, and quiet home that will continue helping him build confidence and feel safe.

He's a total “stage 5 clinger” with his foster mom and will form a deep bond with his person. He can still be shy and startle easily, but once he trusts you, his goofy puppy side shines
He loves:
Keeping a paw on you while you pet him
Snuggling close
Other dogs (a confident dog sibling would be AMAZING for him!)

Murphy is fully housebroken and crate trained — his crate is his safe space. Must have Another dog in the home as it would help him learn that the world (and humans) aren't so scary after all.
