About Murray

Meet Murray, an affectionate and cheerful three-legged dog ready to find his forever family. Despite navigating life with a missing leg, he radiates positivity and has a wonderful disposition. Murray loves soaking up pets and attention from his human friends, making him a great companion. He’s house trained, knows when it’s time to go out, and is even practicing his bell-ringing skills. Murray thrives in a home where he can build confidence and enjoy outdoor activities. Ideally, he needs a securely fenced yard since he has a little bit of a "runner" in him. A space with minimal stairs and plenty of rugs will help him move comfortably. This gentle giant does well with children aged 4 and up and shows a sweet interest in dogs his size. While he might not be a big toy player yet, his true talent lies in being a devoted companion. He’s eager to show you just how delightful a three-legged dog can be. If you're interested in meeting Murray, apply through the Second City Canine Rescue website. Let's make his next chapter the best one yet.
