About Murdock

Meet Murdock — truly a case of being in the right place at the right time. This young lad came to us as a stray after cheerfully following a finder and their dog during a walk. Despite efforts to find his family through online posts and door-to-door inquiries, no one came forward for him. Now safe and ready for his forever home, Murdock has already charmed everyone at the shelter. When he met a similar-sized spayed female, his excitement was palpable. Tail wags and playful energy radiate from him, showcasing his gentle friendliness. Initially a bit shy, he quickly warmed up and flaunted his playful side, letting his new friend explore all the sniffs. We recommend introductions to other dogs and kids to ensure a perfect match. While we don’t have info on how he interacts with cats, Murdock's character speaks for itself. Come meet him and discover why he’s a loveable companion. Murdock hopes to find his forever family soon.
