Murphy's Story

Pet Location: Wayside’s Canine Behavior Center – I'd love to show off all the cool things I’ve learned at Wayside! Please arrive at the shelter before 4pm on our open adoption days to meet me! <br/><br/>My Friends at Wayside say: <br/>- I am enrolled in Peace Academy. This is a program for dogs to learn advanced skills to manage their energy. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session.<br/>- I am a graduate of Waifs with Wisdom. In this program, I learned basic commands and leash walking skills. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session. <br/>- I'm a sweet, goofy boy who is the life of the party!<br/>- I have a lot of energy and need an active adopter.<br/>-I have enjoyed car rides with volunteers while on field trips from the shelter. <br/>- I am eligible for a Slumber Pawty, a 7-10 day in-home trial period. Please visit our website for additional information. <br/> <br/>My home needs are: <br/>- I must meet other dogs in the home before adoption to ensure that we can be buddies. <br/>- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older who will enjoy my enthusiasm for life!<br/><br/>Check out my super cool new video! Scroll through my pictures to see it.<br/><br/>Hey there, I’m Murphy!<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a fun-loving, high-energy pup to keep up with your active lifestyle, I might just be your perfect match! I’m a 1-year, 11-month-old pit bull mix with a zest for life and a love for adventure. I have a lot of energy, so I’ll need a home that can be active with me—whether that means going on runs, hikes, or just plenty of playtime in the yard. Keeping busy and having fun is my kind of life!<br/><br/>One of my absolute favorite things in the world is playing with other dogs. I thrive when I have a playful canine friend, and I’d love to have a buddy to romp around with. Since every dog has their own personality, it’s recommended that I meet any potential doggie siblings before going home—just to make sure we’re the perfect match. But trust me, if your dog loves to play, we’ll be best buds in no time!<br/><br/>I’m also a pretty smart guy. Right now, I’m in a training program at Wayside Waifs, where I’ve been learning all sorts of cool things. So far, I’ve mastered sit, down, touch, look, and place—pretty impressive, right? I’m a fast learner, especially when tasty treats are involved. Training with me is not only fun, but it’s also a great way to help me focus my energy and keep my brain busy. I’d love a family who will continue working with me and teaching me new things!<br/><br/>When I’m not zooming around or showing off my smarts, I love to get close to my favorite people. I may be a wiggly, active boy, but once I trust you, I’ll nuzzle right up to you for some love and affection. I find so much comfort in being near my people—and in food, of course! A yummy snack and some pets from my trusted friends? That’s my idea of heaven!<br/><br/>If you’re an active person looking for a smart, playful, and affectionate pup, I might just be your guy. I’m ready to bring endless fun, love, and energy into my forever home. So, what do you say? Come meet me, and let’s see if we’re the perfect match!<br/><br/>Love, Murphy
