A little about them

Meet Murphy, a lively and affectionate six-and-a-half-year-old Boxer/American Pitbull Terrier mix in Austin, TX. This handsome 65-pound boy has a tan coat with bright white accents and loves long walks, open space, cheese treats, chewing bones, chasing balls, and car adventures.

Murphy enjoys staying close to 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. He is friendly with other dogs and has done well with a younger pup.

Ideal Home

Murphy would do best with an experienced guardian in an active, structured home. A secure fenced yard or room to roam would suit his energetic nature. He appreciates a present, engaged pet parent who can provide guidance, playtime, companionship, and continued positive-reinforcement learning.

Ongoing Health

Murphy is vaccinated and neutered.

Training & Support

Murphy is house-trained, crate-trained, comes when called, and knows sit, stay, and come. He enjoys regular walks, twice-daily meals, and restful nights in his crate. He may occasionally dig and benefits from a consistent routine and continued learning opportunities.
