Murphy

Meet Murphy!

Murphy is an 8-10 year-old male Mini Poodle weighing about 14 pounds, and he’s pure heart wrapped in soft, curly apricot fur. He came to Dogworks Ohio after being brought in as a stray, and he’s been winning everyone over with his calm, devoted nature ever since. Murphy is a gentle, loyal boy who truly loves being close to his people. While he’s not overly clingy, he does like knowing his humans are nearby and looks to them for reassurance. Murphy does have vision issues—he’s not completely blind, but things aren’t always crystal clear—so he relies on his trusted humans to help guide him. In return, he offers endless sweetness, affection, and devotion.

Ideal Home

Murphy does best in a calm home where he can relax, feel safe, and enjoy the company of his people. A securely fenced yard (a standard 4 foot fence works great) is important for Murphy, as he loves to roam, sniff around, and explore at his own pace. He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys socializing, making him a great companion for a dog-friendly home.

Ongoing Health

Murphy has vision issues, and while he is not completely blind, things are not always crystal clear for him. He will be up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped, and his owner will be responsible for flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Neutering is scheduled for 2/3/2026.

Training & Support

Murphy is potty trained, leash trained, and crate trained, though he doesn’t love being crated at first and may whine briefly before settling. He would much rather curl up on a soft bed or quietly roam the house. A gentle verbal correction like a simple “no” is usually all it takes to get his attention, and he responds well.
