Murray - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Incline Village, Nevada

Murray is a 1-year-old Australian Shepherd with a gentle heart, a goofy personality, and a story that makes us want his forever home even more.

When Murray's family moved, they left him behind. Understandably, that experience has made him a little unsure of new people, places, and situations. He's a shy guy at first and needs someone willing to give him the time he needs to realize he's safe.

But once Murray gets comfortable... the real Murray comes out!

And let us tell you-he is HILARIOUS.

Murray loves playing with other dogs, and apparently he believes every good play session needs a running commentary. He'll wrestle, run, bounce around, and talk to you about it the entire time. He has plenty of opinions, and he's more than happy to share them!

Murray's perfect home will have:

A friendly, confident dog buddy to help show him the ropes

Patience while he adjusts to his new surroundings

Plenty of playtime and room for Aussie silliness

People who understand that trust takes a little time

A commitment that when they say forever, they mean forever

Murray isn't going to walk into a new home and immediately act like he owns the place. He needs a little time to settle in, learn the routine, and figure out that this time, he isn't being left behind.

Murray already knows what it feels like to lose his home.

Now he just needs someone to show him what it feels like to truly have one.
