About Murphy

Murphy is a charming Corgi mix looking for the loving home he deserves. He was rescued from a hoarding situation, missing out on much of his puppyhood, but his playful heart makes up for it. At about 1.5 years old and 30 lbs, he is ready to soak up affection and has a big personality full of joy. Though initially cautious and a bit shy around new faces, Murphy quickly shows his affectionate side. He prefers to be by your side, showers you with love, and offers endless tail wags. Outside, he truly shines—running and playing with other dogs, embracing the puppy-like joy he's been missing. Murphy needs patient people to allow him to warm up at his pace, a home filled with attention as he settles in, and a yard or nearby area for play. He thrives in the company of other dogs, too. You can help give him the joyful puppyhood he’s been waiting for—meet him today!
