Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello darling, my name is Murphy (Murf Man) and I’m about two years old and weight in at 50 pounds. I have been in my foster home going on two months and have blossomed quite a bit. I can be very timid at first and head shy but once I know I can trust you, watch out cause I’m a cuddle hog. I get along great with other dogs so it would be nice to have a sister or brother. I would benefit greatly with a dog that has great confidence. I’m house trained and do ok in my crate. You see, if I’m in my crate and you are in the house I’m ok but if you leave the house, I get myself so worked up that I start to drool like a water hose that has been turned on all the way. Foster mom says she doesn’t mind the crate cleaning because that means I have the cleanest crate in the world. I’m working on my stay command and playing with toys and people. So if your looking for a man with short legs, a smoldering smile and a cuddle buddy then hop on over to MPBF.com and fill out the application

IMPORTANT: Many homeowner's insurance companies have breed blacklists or "dangerous dogs" lists which include, but are not limited to, pit bulls, American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Akitas, American Bulldogs, Chows and wolf-hybrids and WILL NOT insure you if they reside in your home or may cancel your insurance if you add a dog of these breeds to your home. If you rent, landlords may also have these same breed restrictions due to their insurance policies. Please check your homeowner's insurance policy or ask your landlord regarding breed discrimination before submitting this application to adopt a pit bull type dog.
