My story

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

Murphy is a 4-year-old purebred Australian Shepherd. I got him when he was 8-weeks old from a breeder near my hometown. I did meet the breeder and Murphy's parents (both very good dogs and taken care of well). I am looking for a home that has a large yard or a lot of land where he has more space to enjoy the quiet outdoors or a home with someone who has experience with Aussies or with dogs who have anxiety. For the past 4 years he has only know the city which hasn't been a great experience for him. He does take medication for his anxiety, but he is not aggressive and has never bitten a dog or a human. He is a mild-manner Aussie but loves to play. He can be shy but he is friendly once he warms up to people and other dogs. He is extremely loyal and smart. He knows all the commands and is house-trained. He would love all the attention and extra love.
