About Murdock Wvjct

Murdock Wvjct is a 5-year-old, large Labrador mix in Missouri City, TX. He’s totally blind but stays active and navigates a home confidently once he gets the lay of the land. When his previous owner abandoned him, a neighbor intervened and reached out to a rescue, giving Murdock a second chance. He knows the 'follow' cue and is working on more useful commands for walks. This big lovebug adores being petted and enjoys cuddling. He thrives on regular walks through the neighborhood or at the park, and he gets along well with other dogs—though his play can be rowdy and he must be fed separately from them. Crates and tight spaces make him anxious, so he does best with free roam and isn’t destructive when left alone. He’s fully house trained. Murdock needs an adopter comfortable with his blindness and eager to support his needs. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
