Murray

I've got a lot of personality, and I don't always keep it quiet.<br/><br/>My name is Murray, and I've been here since 1/06/2026 after coming from Animal Friends of the Valley. When I first come into a space, I can be a little loud about it. I've got opinions, I've got energy, and I like to announce my arrival. But once I settle in, you'll see a much more social, easygoing side of me come through.<br/><br/>With other dogs, I'm actually pretty capable. I hang out, I play, and I know how to communicate clearly. If another dog is being too much, I'll speak up about it, and if I'm asked to move on, I can do that too. I've shown that I can take direction and disengage when needed, even in more intense moments. I don't hold onto things once they're over either. I bounce back quickly and get right back to enjoying myself.<br/><br/>That said, I do get worked up sometimes, especially around barriers or when the energy around me gets high. In those moments, I can get louder and more amped, and that's where I need someone to step in and help me reset. When I have that guidance, I respond well and settle back down.<br/><br/>With people, I'm engaged and interactive. I'm not a sit-back-and-watch kind of dog, I like to be part of what's going on. I'll do best with someone who can match my energy while still giving me clear direction.<br/><br/>My energy is on the higher side, especially at the start, but it evens out once I've had a chance to move around and get comfortable.<br/><br/>What I need most is someone who understands that I'm not trying to be a problem, I just have a lot going on and sometimes need help channeling it. When I'm guided well, I show just how social and adaptable I can be.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a dog with personality, resilience, and the ability to bounce back and keep going, come meet me. I think we'll have a good time together.
