Murphy

Murphy's ideal home

Murphy is looking for a calm and predictable home where he can enjoy a relaxed life with nice walks, cosy snoozes and a game of fetch now and then. He would be able to live with Sixth Form/College aged children who are calm and sensible and will give him space to rest when needed. Murphy could live with another dog of similar age who will happily co exist, although this in not a necessity, he could have calm and polite walking buddies. He has a little training under his belt, he knows his name and does a lovely “sit”, he is open to engaging in training if there are no distractions and there is a tasty treat on offer. He is currently learning to wear a muzzle as he will be going home on a lead and muzzle disclaimer. He does need a home with a private garden to potter around in and have some off lead time, Murphy can be a little worried by traffic, so ideally his new home would be in a quieter area with walks in nice peaceful places away from busy roads. Murphy can settle nicely in the home, so could be left for up to 2-4 hours, any leaving would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle into his new home. Murphy will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home so please keep this in mind before applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet him within 48hrs of being shortlisted.
