Murphy is a very loving dog! He struggles with trust of people. He will hide or stay right next to his trusted humans when he is frightened. Once he trusts you, he wants nothing but love and cuddles. He loves to have his head on your foot, or sleep on your leg. He wants to always be touching a human. He would do best with someone that is home frequently.
Murphy has learned how to be a dog and loves toys and bones. He is extremely fond of his bed! Murphy gets super excited for meal time. He is learning how to walk on a leash. He loves to cuddle with his older foster sibling but can get annoyed with the young active foster sibling. Murphy has had entropion surgery on both eyes and will need eye drops for his right eye due to dry eye to keep the mucus out. His back legs are still weak and have resulted in him needing help with stairs. Murphy is looking for a loving home with a lot of patience and in return he has a lot of love to give!

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.

We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
