My story

Pet Location: Canine Behavior Center - Please arrive at the shelter by 4:00 on adoption days to meet me!I`m Enrolled In A Training Program: Yes! 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. I am also enrolled in Waifs with Wisdom, where I am learning basic obedience. Can Live In Apartments: YesRequires Fenced In Yard: NoHousetrained (Potty-trained): UnknownCan Go Home With Other Dogs: YesMust Meet Adopter`s Current Dog(s) Before Going Home: YesDoes Well With Cats: UnknownCan Go Home With Children: Yes but kids in the home must be 6 years old and olderMust Meet All Family Members Before Going Home: NoIt`s recommended I go to an active homeSome of Wayside`s pets are eligible for a Slumber Pawty, a 7-10 day in-home trial period pre-adoption.Slumber Pawty Eligible: YesCheck out my super cool new video! Scroll through my pictures to see it.Hey there, I’m Murphy!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, 5-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!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!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!When I’m not zooming around or showing off my smarts, I love to get close to my favorite people. I may be

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Murphy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
