Murphy

Fostered in LA
***

Hello New Friends!

My name is Marvelous Murphy, and I’m a darling one-year-old, white-and-cream Bichon mix who is rather delightful! I have a soft white coat, beautiful brown eyes, weigh 11 pounds and have a lot of love to give. According to my foster family, I’m curious, affectionate, observant, trainable and goofy. (I think that “goofy” is a compliment, don’t you?)

Mom says I’m a sweet and affectionate guy who really enjoys people. I’m very friendly with adults and strangers alike, and I love getting attention and affection. Most of all I enjoy my foster family’s four-year-old daughter. I like to be near her, want to play with her, and have been known to give her plenty of kisses. I’m sometimes a bit too enthusiastic (I’m still a puppy, you know!), but I’m learning my manners, after all!)

Dad says one of my most adorable features is my adorable right ear. You see, it stands up just a teeny bit all by itself. Dad calls it the Murphy antenna! Whenever I look at him or Mom (or something catches my attention), I cock my head, then my ear goes up!

I’m doing well with my potty training, enjoy going for walks, playing in the yard, rarely bark and get along nicely with my foster doggie brother. We haven’t exactly become wrestling champions yet—and I haven’t shown a lot of interest in playing with him—but we’re comfortable sharing our home. We even sleep on the same bed and eat our meals near each other. I think that makes us roommates with excellent manners! While I’m good with other dogs, and having a canine companion might be nice for me, having a child to love and adore would make my heart beat fastest!

I’m a friendly, sociable little guy with a sweet disposition and lots of potential. I’m learning my basic commands. Sit, stay and come are all on my curriculum. (I’m a work in progress, but a willing student!) After exercise and exploration, I’m perfectly happy to settle down and enjoy affection.

My Ideal Home:
*Someone home most of the time
*A family with a child or children, please
*Another FurKid would be fine 

Experience level:
*Had dogs as an adult
*Recent/current dog experience

What I really want is a family who will love and enjoy me, continue teaching me good manners, and appreciate my sweet personality. I have all the makings of a wonderful companion, and I’m especially sociable with both adults and children.

So if you’re looking for an affectionate, observant, trainable and occasionally goofy little guy who loves people, enjoys walks and yard time, gets along with other dogs, and is ready to discover all the wonderful things that come with being a FurKid, I think we should meet! (My right ear will probably give me away when I see you as it has a mind of its own.)

Cuddles and snuggles,
Magnificent and Marvelous Murphy 🐾
