Murphy's Story
House trained: Yes<br/><br/>Energy level: Medium<br/><br/>Noise level: Barks occasionally<br/><br/>My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Murphy are all his silly antics!<br/><br/>Likes: hiking, riding in the car, playing fetch, playing with other dogs<br/><br/><br/><br/>Hi there! Im Murphy!<br/><br/>Im a happy, gentle boy who loves playing, going for walks, snuggling on the couch (dontworry, I always ask first!), and watching the world go by from the window.<br/><br/>My story started when I showed up outside my foster familys door pretty smart move, right? My human foster brother named me Murphy, as in Murphys Law, because my luck wasnt so great before I met my foster family. I was abandoned and lived on the streets of D.C. for a while. If youve seen the rats weve got in this city, youll know that wasnt exactly a picnic. No one really knows what my life was like before my foster family found me, but I can tell you it was sad and scary to be all alone, and Im so grateful that my foster family found me. Now, Im moving past the hard days, and ready to live life to the fullest!<br/><br/>For everything Ive been through, Im an amazingly resilient guy! My foster family says Im very sweet, smart, social, and adaptable. I currently live with my two doggy foster siblings, and I love being part of a pack! We play together all day long, and have the most fun ever! I also love playing with my human foster brother! I keep everybody laughing with my hilarious funny air chomp noises when I play my signature move! My foster family thinks I would be great as an only child, or living with human siblings. Basically, Ill blossom wherever Im planted!<br/><br/>I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but I warm up fast and then Im super friendly. Im quite loyal, so if youre part of my pack, Ive got your back. And by got your back I mean Ill follow you around the house and make sure youre never lonely. If an actual threat ever shows up, like someone riding on a bicyclewell, Im sure you can handle that! Im more cuddlebug than guard dog, but thats just what youre looking for, right?<br/><br/>As attached as I am to my people, Im also amazing in my crate, and do a great job sleeping in there when my people leave me home alone. Im a really well-mannered boy all together. Im also a smarty pants! I love snacks, and Im a super intelligent and trainable dog. I already know sit and down and shake, Im working on stay, and Im excited to learn more!<br/><br/>Murphys law might have applied to me earlier in life, but things are on the up and up now, and I cant wait to move forward and find my forever family! Think we might be a match? Apply to adopt me today! <br/><br/> Please visit our website www.ruraldogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing dog and to see other dogs available for adoption!
