Meet Murray, the charming 6-year-old Shiba Inu who is on a heartfelt quest for his forever home! Weighing in at a cozy 28 lbs, this lovable canine is just waiting for the right family to embrace his quirky yet endearing personality! Murray's journey began as he found himself lost and alone, brought to a shelter as a stray. Fortunately, he’s landed in a loving foster home in Eagan, MN, and it’s clear that this delightful dog once had a family that cherished him. Murray is fully house trained and knows how to sit and lie down on command, proving he's got that canine charm down pat! 🎓🚪 Oh, and hold onto your hats because when someone says, "car ride," this little guy lights up with excitement that’s simply infectious! 🚗💨 He's sweet and goofy, but let’s be honest here—Murray is a dog with personality! He adores belly rubs and affection, but on his terms—approach him, and you might just get nudged when he’s ready for some love! 🥰 But don’t be surprised if sometimes he puts on his diva hat! Getting a harness on sometimes feels like a broadway scream fest, and yes, if you haven’t heard a Shiba scream, you’re in for a treat! 🎤🎭 Murray is social but likes his space, too. While he's down for short playdates with other dogs, if he’s had enough, he’ll let them know by snapping the air just for some personal space. A dog that knows what he wants! 🐾💬 Though he's neutered, healthy, and vaccinated, Murray does have a little issue with his ears that’s being managed with medication—he’s showing signs of allergies. Visiting the vet can be tricky, so his foster family advises a little sedation to make that trip smooth as butter! 🩺✨ His ideal forever family? Someone experienced and patient who can help him build trust. A securely fenced yard would be a dream, and he’s probably not the best fit for small kids or cats—no critter chasing here! 🐱🐶 If there’s a well-mannered resident dog, introductions need to happen slowly and with supervision to ensure everyone feels safe and respected. So, if you’re in the Midwest and are ready to open your heart and home to a super laid-back buddy like Murray, please *apply through the Buddy App*! 💖 Remember, this lovable pooch deserves a patient, loving family who will appreciate all of his unique quirks! 🏡🥳
