Murphy

My story

*This dog is located in the Niagara region*Apply to adopt at rebeldogrescue.com*All adoptions with Rebel Dog Rescue have a 15 day probation period. Read about our adoption process on our website. Murphy is a fun-loving, playful pup with a heart as big as his puppy-dog eyes! At ~60lb and steadily gaining healthy weight, this young guy is full of energy and enthusiasm for life. He absolutely adores people, greeting everyone with a happy tail wag and plenty of affection.Murphy loves to play - whether its with his favourite toys or his doggy friends. He thrives in a home with another playful dog who can match his high energy. While hes still learning his manners (like not jumping up when excited), hes incredibly smart and benefits from structure, routine, and training. Hes doing great on a leash and is eager to please, though he can be easily distracted and want to chase things that move fast (like squirrels!). Murphy would do best in a home with a yard where he can run and play, and with a family who has time to continue his training and give him plenty of attention. Hes affectionate, social, and the perfect age to grow into an amazing companion. If youre looking for a loving, energetic pup to add to your family, Murphy is ready to be your new best friend!Name: MurphyBreed: Shepherd Mix Age: ~11 months Weight: ~60lb and growingSex: Male, neutered Colour: TanMedical: No concerns Good with men: YesGood with women: YesGood with kids 0-6: Yes, has been around small kids but he is a large dog and jumps up/mouths so would suggest older Good with kids 6+: Yes, but has not lived with kids - he is a large dog and jumps up/mouths so would suggest older Good with dogs: Yes, loves being around and playing with other dogsGood with cats: Not tested, presume no House trained: YesCrate trained: Yes, settles after some barking/whining Resource guarding: None seen Walks on a leash: YesEnergy level: HighRequires detached/single home: YesSeparation anxiety: None seen Barker: Average
