Murphy

My story

Meet Murphy! 4-month-old male | 4kg | Mixed breed White coat | Not neutered yet Shoulder height: 20cm   Murphy is a gentle, sweet-natured pup who’s still discovering the world. He’s a little wary of strangers at first, but once he feels safe—usually within 3 to 7 days—he opens up and becomes a loving and affectionate companion. He hasn’t had the chance to meet children under 13 yet, so we’re not sure how he’d react. However, Murphy is easy to handle and allows you to pick him up by supporting his belly. Once he trusts you, he’ll roll over and show you his belly—his way of saying “I like you.” With Other Animals: Murphy tends to be friendly toward dogs of similar size and avoids conflict, even when other dogs are being pushy. While he hasn’t had many interactions with other dogs yet, he usually doesn’t show strong interest in them. His behavior around cats hasn’t been tested. Energy & Walks: Murphy has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor time, but after some play, he loves to rest quietly. Since he’s still very young and hasn’t had much leash experience, loud noises, sudden movements, and busy streets can scare him. In quieter areas, he walks better and may even playfully run around. When scared, he tends to crouch or try to hide—but once he bonds with you, he’ll come when called and gain more confidence. ‍ On walks, Murphy might freeze or hesitate around people and dogs, but encouragement helps him keep going. In familiar places, he’s even started to run around with joy. Personality: Murphy is extremely gentle and a little timid. When you first meet him, he might freeze like a statue, unsure of what to do. But he comes around quickly. Within a week, his foster family saw a big change—he started wagging his tail when called and showing his belly for belly rubs. In the mornings, he greets you with adorable affection. He’s so easygoing that he’ll lie down and fall asleep wherever he feels comfortable. As a young pup, he sleeps a lot and is still growing. He loves his regular meals but hasn’t tried treats yet. He tends to be quiet, but when he wants something, he might whine a little or bark—like the time he saw another dog on TV and barked excitedly! He’s also teething, so he loves to chew—be sure to have lots of toys ready for him! Other Notes: • Not food aggressive toward humans or dogs • Doesn’t guard food • Calm when riding in a kennel • Prefers to go potty outdoors • Shows demand barking when he wants something • Enjoys chewing due to teething—needs plenty of chew toys! Murphy is a sweet baby boy looking for a patient and understanding family who can help him grow into a confident, happy dog. If you give him time and love, he’ll reward you with the gentlest heart and endless loyalty.
