Murphy Labrador Retriever Mix Doylestown, PA

~
Meet Murphy. He is a 50ish lb 8 month old lab mix in search of a new home. Murphy would love an active family with a (high) fenced yard and another big, active dog to play with, Murphy is so full of life and expresses an intense willingness to learn. He is housetrained and is also bell trained! When he wants to go outside, he rings the bell at the door and patiently waits until someone lets him outside. He knows basic commands like "sit", "stay", and "drop it". Murphy is a very smart boy. He's just an overall goofy boy. without a mean bone in his body. He loves to cuddle too. Because he s used to a fenced yard he does need a little work walking on a leash. Because of his size and love of chewing toys, Murphy will do best in a home with older children.

We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they'll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster.

We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used.
