Murphy - Labrador Retriever-Unknown Mix Male Dog For Adoption in San Diego, California, USA

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed.

Foster or Forever Home Wanted: Meet Murphy! Murphy is a 2-year-old, 40 lb Labrador/Bull Terrier mix who’s ready to hop (literally!) into his next chapter. This compact cutie is bursting with love, charm, and just the right amount of goofiness — and he’d be thrilled to do all his waiting in a cozy foster home instead of a kennel. Murphy is a social butterfly who adores people and loves making new friends. Because he can get a little mouthy when excited, he’d do best in a home with older, considerate kids. And about that yard — this boy has springs for legs, so he’ll need a secure 6-foot+ fence to keep his bunny-hopping self safely grounded. On leash, Murphy walks nicely and is non-reactive to most dogs (unless you’re a fluffy white tiny dog — then yes, he has opinions). He knows his basic commands and is dog-friendly with proper introductions. With his rough-and-tumble play style, he’ll thrive with dogs his size or larger who can match his energy. He’s very tolerant, but he can get a bit overstimulated, so he’ll benefit from a handler who can help him settle and decompress when needed. Murphy is an active boy who needs daily exercise to be his best self — walks, playtime, or even a few minutes on the treadmill (which he surprisingly enjoys!). Once he’s had his fun and gets his wiggles out, he’s happy to curl up on his bed for some calm, cozy downtime.
