A little about them
Meet Murphy, a charming six-and-a-half-year-old Boxer/American Pitbull Terrier mix in Austin, Texas. This affectionate, curious boy has a handsome tan coat with bright white accents and weighs 65 pounds.

Murphy loves being near his people and thrives with patience, gentle encouragement, and a consistent routine. He can be cautious around unfamiliar sights or sounds but becomes more confident with support.
Ideal Home

- His occasional digging adventures should be expected
Ongoing Health
