Murphy is a friendly Pittie mix, estimated to be about 2-3 years old. He came to the shelter as an unclaimed stray and was recently returned because he has a hard time living with men. Murphy is happiest in a female-only home, where he quickly bonds and enjoys the company of women. At the shelter, he greets new women warmly, and he really loves his walks and exploring the yard on his own terms. He's playful, often running the fence line with dog pals next door, and he gets along well with other dogs in play groups. Murphy knows how to sit on command, and he likes being close to his trusted humans for attention. He lived with children before and did well with them, especially older kids—ten and up seem to be his sweet spot. His previous family noted he was housebroken. Murphy likes socializing with other dogs but requires a meet and greet to ensure it’s a solid fit. There’s potential for Murphy to live with cats, given patient introduction. If your home matches what Murphy needs, he’ll make a loyal, affectionate companion. Click apply to start the adoption process.
