Murphy

My story

Meet Murphy! He will be your new best friend! Murphy is a BIG softie. He will definitely win you over with his playful nature and happy-go-lucky attitude. At just over a year old and around 85lbs it's obvious that Murphy is a big boy, but he doesn't have an intimidating bone in his body. This goofy boy LOVES meeting new people and has done well with everyone he's met. KNOWN WITH DOGS: Murphy has done great meeting dogs of all sizes and temperaments at the Trails Home Farm. He loves to play! KNOWN WITH CATS: We don't know how Murphy is with cats. If that information is needed please let us know and we can work on finding out. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Murphy has done great with the kids he's met so far (ages 5 to 13), but he is a big dog and might accidentally knock someone down in his excitement. KNOWN CUES: Murphy knows 'sit', 'down', 'with me', 'watch', 'leave it', 'shake' and more! KNOWN LIKES: People and attention, walks, fetch, tug of war KNOWN DISLIKES: fireworks BACKGROUND: Murphy was adopted from Homeward Trails as a puppy but recently returned when his former family had a change in circumstances. ___________________________________ If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to: trailshomefarm@homewardtrails.org PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ LOCATION: Trails Home Farm, Delaplane, VA ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Trails Home Farm Staff HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: All dogs located at Trails Home Farm are in Delaplane, VA and require an appointment for approved applicants to have a meet and greet.
