My story

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

Murphy is a gentle soul with a heart full of love just waiting to be shared. Found wandering alone and in rough shape, Murphy has faced his share of challenges, but his resilient spirit shines through. While he's still a bit nervous around new people, his natural curiosity leads him to explore his surroundings with cautious interest, and he's learning that kind words and gentle touches are signs of safety. Murphy's sweetness becomes more evident every day as he grows more comfortable, eagerly accepting pets and offering a quiet companionship to those he trusts.

On walks, Murphy is a dream-sticking close to his person and moving with a calm, steady pace. His leash manners are excellent, making him a wonderful walking companion who thrives with gentle guidance and encouragement. Though initially reserved, Murphy's bond with his person runs deep, and his loyalty is unmistakable. He's ready for a patient and loving home that will give him the time he needs to truly feel at home, where he can continue to build his confidence and find comfort in the steady presence of a forever family.

More about this shelter

The Maryland SPCA connects wonderful pets to loving owners. We are not affiliated with any national animal organization, and we do not receive any government or United Way funding. Our mission is to prevent cruelty and neglect of animals through fostering the humane relationship between animals and people. We operate primarily in the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan area.

To make sure that our dogs and cats do not contribute to the pet overpopulation problem, every one is spayed or neutered before going into a new home. The cost is included in the adoption fee, as are the costs of shots and other necessary care. In addition, a free Positive Pooch class is available to our dog adopters.

There is no set time limit for how long an animal can remain in our adoption program. As long as an animal maintains general good health and a sound temperament, we keep him or her until adopted. We pride ourselves on providing premium care to the animals in a clean, pleasant environment. Our adoption staff works diligently to pair up adopters with the best animal match for their homes and lifestyles.

We transport animals from other shelters to our adoption center to help more animals get adopted. We also help pet owners find new homes for their pets so their animals don’t need to enter shelter care.
