Muri is our latest scruffy sweetheart, who is more petite than she sometimes looks in photos. This girl has brains, beauty, and a great attitude. Her absolute favourite thing is to be around people, so if you're home a fair bit and have lots of love and attention to give, Muri would be your ideal companion. She's a quiet work-from-home buddy who will lie at your feet while you work.

Muri is medium energy and relaxed in the house, but she does have a very funny goofy side that is coming out more and more. She loves to play with toys, and fetch and tug are favourite pastimes. Muri has all kinds of endearing habits like burrowing under blankets to sleep, twirling in a circle when she's excited, and standing up and clasping her paws when she's begging for treats! She walks well on her leash, and is playful and great with other dogs.

Muri can be a little wary of men at first although she warms up once she gets to know them. She also doesn't love the car yet, so safety precautions will be needed when she's your passenger. She might be a bit shy with younger kids but gets on well with older ones. Basically she's an adaptable girl who would be perfectly content in several kinds of different households and family configurations. Her main requirement is truly just being close to you.

As the days get cooler and the nights get longer, it seems like the perfect time to welcome a small and fuzzy friend who just wants to be by your side. You won't find a sweeter, more loving, and more delightful dog. Apply to bring Muri home: https://form.jotform.com/pawsacrossthewater/adoption-application
