About Murphy

About Mixed Breed Dogs

Mixed breed dogs are wonderfully unique companions, each one a one-of-a-kind blend of traits, personalities, and appearances. The genetic diversity of mixed breeds often leads to fewer inherited health problems and greater overall vigor. They come in every size, shape, and temperament imaginable.

Adopting a mixed breed means giving a home to a dog who truly needs one - they make up the majority of shelter dogs waiting for families. You'll gain a resilient, adaptable companion with a unique personality all their own. Mixed breeds prove every day that love isn't defined by a pedigree.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

22°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Cold temperatures and regular snowfall require winter gear for pets, especially small and short-haired breeds. Sidewalk salt irritates paws, so rinse feet after every walk or use protective booties. Keep walks shorter on the coldest days and watch for antifreeze spills, which are toxic but attractive to pets.

Spring

38°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Cherry blossom season in Branch Brook Park is a spectacular backdrop for walks with your pet. Temperatures warm gradually, making this an ideal time for longer outings and socialization. Mud and puddles are common from snowmelt and spring rain, so plan for post-walk cleanups.

Summer

65°F to 87°F
