Murphy - Miniature Poodle Dog for Adoption in Scottsdale, Arizona

When you’re called a “perfect house guest” by your foster, one might think that's a lot of pressure for a tiny 11-year-old Poodle to live up to! But affectionate and gentle Murphy is just that -- and more!

Murphy found himself at one of our partner shelters in a very neglected state, so we readily scooped him up to provide the medical care he needed. Of course, he was also treated to a well deserved spa day with our volunteer groomer! Now that Murphy is feeling and looking better, his awesome personality really shines: he is very playful, enjoys his toys, and adores everyone he meets. Murphy is certainly a content lap dog; however, this confident man doesn't sweat it when he needs to be home alone.

Perfectly house-trained, leash-trained, and rides well in the car... What more could someone ask for?! Murphy is set to go and ready to start a new life of pampering -- which of course is what all Poodles desire and deserve!
