About Axford and Murphy

Meet Axford and Murphy, two wonderful brothers who are a true package deal. Axford, a lively three-year-old poodle mix at 10 pounds, boasts a charming little snaggletooth and a zest for life that makes him a social butterfly. He loves his daily walks and will eagerly greet anyone as a potential new friend, all while rolling over for belly rubs. Although medium energy, he can be quite the attention seeker, hopping up on his back legs to get noticed. Murphy is the gentle soul of the duo, a two-year-old Havanese mix weighing in at 15 pounds. Initially shy, he emerges as a snuggle bug once he feels safe, and his long limbs make for the perfect cuddle buddy. Although he enjoys his walks, he also loves quiet moments curled up next to you, especially at bedtime. The bond between these two is heartwarming. They play chase around the house and trade toys, exhibiting a playful yet gentle spirit. Both are house-trained and leash-trained, so some additional guidance will help with settling into a new home. They thrive in environments with consistent routines and enjoy the company of other dogs and children, although Axford’s excitement might overwhelm very small kids. Both boys are healthy, neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped, eagerly looking for their forever home where they can remain side-by-side. If you think their perfect home could be yours, consider applying to adopt this inseparable duo today!
