Name: Murphy
Breed: Bichon Frise 
Approximate Age: 3 years old 
Approximate Weight: 16 lbs 
Currently Living at: Home

Murphy is not a shelter dog, but he is looking for a new home, through no fault of his own.

He is a great little guy with a lot of personality, he loves people and other dogs.

He is loving, playful, friendly and a great companion.  It is recommended that he only go to a home that has one other dog, or by himself, as he becomes very stressed if there is more than that.  The way he shows that is he will lick his paws until there is a soar.
,

He is completely house broken and crate trained, all you need to say is 'bed time' and he will go into his crate and go to sleep.  He may have an accident in a new home, but that is easily corrected with a stern NO.

It is after great consideration and heartache that it has been decided to re-home murphy, and I am looking for that special family to call his own.

Although his pictures make him look like he has some poodle in him, he doesn't, he is a purebreed Bichon, all you will need to do is allow his hair to grow out  and he will look like his breed.

He is leash trained and know his basic commands, although once you have formed a bond with him, a leash may not be necessary as he listen very well.  He is not a jumper or a digger and is just a wonderful dog.

The adoption fee for this dog is $280, which includes the cost of transport and routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter surgery.
