In the shelter’s words

Sweet and silly Murphy needs a new home he’s a newly 5 year old Chesadoodle with lots of love to give! He’s a tall guy and almost 90 pounds but acts like a lapdog. He loves being around his people and snuggling. He loves to sleep and play with his stuffy toys! He loves his beds and pajamas help him feel secure and calm. He does best when he gets daily walks and opportunities to get some energy out. He’s crate trained, has completed basic obedience training, and does really well on leash during walks! He’s struggled to adjust to having a baby in the home and will need a home without babies/toddlers. He bit our baby while resource guarding his food. He does well with adults and older kids. Other dogs can be hit or miss. He’s an anxious guy and takes Prozac daily to help. He can take a while to adjust to new things but is not overly fearful. He’s in good health. He’s got lots of love to give and we want to find his forever home where he can get all the love he deserves ❤️Applicartions can be submitted at http://care.rescuegroups.org
