Murphy's Story

💙 Meet Murphy (Mr. Independent) 💙<br/><br/>Murphy is a confident, curious puppy with the perfect balance of independence and affection. He enjoys cuddles and kisses, but he’s also happy to explore on his own and relax independently—making him a great fit for a home that values both playtime and calm moments.<br/><br/>He’s smart, adaptable, and already doing wonderfully with training. Murphy knows sit and come, often sits politely on his own, and is working on stay, shake, heel, and wait. He’s very food-motivated, responds well to gentle correction, and settles easily after playtime.<br/><br/>Murphy loves other dogs, is excited by new experiences, and is learning stairs like a champ. He’s gentle, easygoing, and comfortable with handling, making grooming and vet visits a breeze. When it’s time to relax, you’ll find him snoozing on his back or curled up somewhere soft, cozy, and warm—preferably in a sweater.<br/><br/>🐾 Puppy perks apply! Murphy is still teething and learning the ropes, but with consistent training and supervision, he’s shaping up to be a truly wonderful companion.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a sweet, playful pup with a calm, confident personality, Murphy may be your perfect match 💙
