My story

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

Eddie Murphy might have been hilarious in The Nutty Professor, but this boy isn’t laughing at shelter life—he thinks it’s pretty nutty. Surrendered on 11/18/24 due to family changes and allergies, Murphy is here through no fault of his own. He`s been an inside dog and is housebroken, with a history of getting along well with children and other dogs. A meet-and-greet is always a great idea if there are other dogs in the home. He hasn`t been around cats, but the shelter can cat-test him if needed. Shelter life is no joke, and Murphy is just ready to find a home where he can live his best life!
