Murphy's Story

Hiya! I'm Murphy and I am a 4 year old golden lab. I weigh in at 68 lbs and I'm looking for my new home!<br/><br/>I love to play fetch and I'm happy to play for as long as anyone is willing to throw a ball. I've never chewed anything I shouldn't, but I do love the toys I'm given and make sure they are extra tough please! My favorites are rope toys for tug, dura force brand toys, and a good bone, especially Honest Chew and Better Bone...so I'm told.<br/><br/>I am very food motivated, but I won't grab your food at the table or counter. However, I'll happily take care of crumbs. I love the pupsicle (with frozen peanut butter and yogurt inside), Kong with peanut butter...or really anything with peanut butter!<br/><br/>I'm told I'm a super smart dog. I've done very well with training because I'm so food motivated! I'm eager to please and I know many commands like sit, down, wait, leave it, find it, bed, crate, break. I'm also great with my crate. I eat meals there and happily go in with the crate command. I am crated during the day and at night. <br/><br/>I would do best in a house without kids because I have a few quirks that aren't best for kiddos. On the other hand, I can be a patient guy in the mornings and will happily lounge for some pets while you drink a cup of coffee before we go outside. I also love to imagine myself as a lap dog, so do you have a lap for me to snuggle up to? <br/><br/>I'm a very athletic dog and I'm told I can be tough on a leash. I have been working hard on it, but I really love to chase rabbits! Did I mention that I love to be outside? My mom thinks I might be good at agility work. I'm a fast learner and I would love to find a new home to keep living my best life.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please go to our website at www.lolin.org and click on Adopt, Apply for a Dog. From there, you can submit an Adoption Application to be considered for this dog. You MUST be an approved applicant to meet LOLIN dogs. There is no central location or hours to meet dogs.
