My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Murphy is a 6-year-old sweetie who has come a long way since being rescued from the shelter. He's a little clingy and prefers to be in your lap because he loves attention. He enjoys playing with toys and watching TV with his person. He'll let you when he needs out. He's obedient and will enter his crate when you say "crate". He loves treats, of course.

Murphy has some separation anxiety, but feels comfortable in a crate when you are gone. He sleeps in a crate at night willingly, but loves being in bed with his human. He has a large bark for his size and is very attentive to the front door, always alerting us to possible intruders.

Since he needs lots of attention and reassurance, Murphy would be perfect for an older person (with no other dogs) who is looking for a companion. Because a lot of commotion can sometimes stress him, he would do best in a home with no young children.
