Looking for a sweet, gentle, people-loving companion? Murphy is a 16-week-old male, Catahoula mix with a loving temperament, he learns very quickly and has a good start on basic commands. Murphy's left eye is heterochromatic (same eye is two colors - blue & brown). He would thrive in a home with a fenced yard and given lots of attention. Murphy came to us with a badly injured back leg but has healed beautifully. He’s playful and adventurous, with a slight limp that adds to his charm. Shelter life isn’t ideal for a growing puppy and he’s ready for a family to explore life with. Murphy is not yet neutered and is finishing his puppy vaccinations. He’ll be ready for adoption or foster at the beginning of March.
