Meet Murphy

Murphy (A142502) is an11-month-old Aussie mix who weighed nearly 30 lbs at intake!09/04/26 Murphy, previously known as Moose, was brought back to the shelter due to a change in living situations that left his most recent owners unable to provide him with the level of care they felt he deserved. Murphy was said to have great recall and will come to the sound of a whistle. He was also said to be kennel trained and housebroken. If left unsupervised in the house, Murphy will find trouble, so it is best that he be kenneled when unsupervised. Trouble could be getting into things; or most frequently it meant he went potty on the humans' bed. Maybe he was expressing his disapproval of being left alone. Either way, best for Murphy to be in a kennel when left alone. He has been known to chew but was said to ride well in the car and generally mind well. Murphy was said to do well with other dogs. He was also said to do well with calm kids. It can take him a bit to warm up to strangers, but he was said to be friendly and affectionate once comfortable. If you are interested in meeting Murphy, please give us a call! Medical: Moose was treated for fleas while at the shelter, and per the vet's recommendation, he should receive another flea treatment on July 22nd. 06/20/26 These handsome brothers are Milo and Moose! These boys arrived at the shelter as strays, and now they are ready to find their new homes. We would highly encourage that Milo and Moose go to separate homes, as they have become co-dependent on each other and are showing early signs of littermate syndrome. Moose has really blossomed into a social, happy guy! Milo can be shy, but he turns into a sweet little puddle after slow, calm introductions. We would highly recommend Milo goes to a home without small children due to his shy and sometimes fearful behavior. We do not know how these boys feel about cats or other animals, including other dogs, so please make sure any and all introductions are done in a slow and controlled manner. They may need some help with training, including kennel training and potty training. They are still young and eager to learn, so we are sure they will pick things up quick! We are taking a wild guess on their breed because they are littermates and look so vastly different! They may have a little Aussie, a little Kelpie, a little Heeler or maybe none of those and they're just Heinz 57 mixes! A DNA breed test would be interesting to find out! If you are interested in meeting either of these brothers, please give the shelter a call!
