About Murphy

Murphy is a handsome 4-year-old Long-Haired German Shepherd, weighing around 85 lbs, with a heart as big as he is! He was rescued after being found severely underweight, but he's now healthy, happy, and eager to find his loving forever home. Murphy is incredibly smart, affectionate, loyal, and a joy to train. He's surprisingly calm for a Shepherd, loves to play, and enjoys relaxing with his favorite people. He has excellent manners around food and learns new things at lightning speed! Murphy is friendly with other dogs and enjoys canine companionship.
