Murphy #6170

Murphy is a 3 year old, beautiful AKC registered Golden boy who arrived at GRRAND in early September. He is neutered, house trained, and weighs a hefty 95 lbs, which we are working to reduce by a few pounds!<br/><br/>IMPORTANT CHRISTMAS NOTE FROM MURPHY: "My name is Murphy. I am a beautiful 3-year-old pure Golden Retriever. I'm housebroken, love belly rubs, and walk great on a leash. I am currently with an awesome foster family who loves me. However, they have a lot of travel coming up, so I'm back at the kennel until January 8. This will be my first Christmas away from home. I am desperately looking for a new foster home or -- better yet -- a forever family. Please make my holiday dreams come true and give me a loving foster or adoptive home."<br/><br/>Murphy's foster family says: "Murphy is an absolute gem of a dog! We have nothing but the best things to say about this loving boy! Murphy is a cuddle bug who loves being glued to you on the couch or in bed. But he is also such a gentleman and respects your space when you need it :) He knows how to sit, lie down, and shake (what a good boy!). Murphy loves belly rubs, long walks around the neighborhood, and he loves looking out at the Ohio River. Murphy is a pro at the leash (no pulling and very easy to redirect when his attention focuses on a squirrel or another dog). He also loves saying hi to every person he sees like they're his best friend!<br/><br/>Murphy has free run of our home and has never chewed on anything inappropriately (he does occasionally steel one of our socks, but just to tease us - it's so cute). Murphy is fully house-trained and he behaves very well when left alone (we have a pet camera that just shows him lying down by the door, waiting for our return).<br/>So please, anyone who wants to receive nothing but the deepest love, consider adopting Murphy! He really is just the absolutely BEST dog and we'll miss him so so so much when he's no longer our foster. He's a true delight!!"<br/><br/>GRRAND has been told he "should not go to a home with children, either resident, or visiting (ex. grandkids), and Murphy likes all the attention, so should be the only dog in the house, so he can get all the attention with no issues. He just needs to be put in the right home with someone who understands his needs and can work with him with no other pets and no children."<br/><br/>Other than the home with no pets... our GRRAND volunteer says: "This sweet boy is the real deal. Murphy rides well in the backseat of a car. Murphy is so gentle getting in and out of a car. He loves walks and does well on a leash. He has lost 5 pounds since his previous weigh in. Murphy is cool, calm, and collected. He loves snuggles, watching baseball on tv, to be brushed, and his ducky stuffed toy."<br/><br/>We are still learning about Murphy, but if you are an experienced dog owner with a secure fenced yard, or willing to take Murphy on multiple walks please apply on GRRAND.Org.
