Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $450. Meet Murphy! Warning: This adorable face may cause you to fall in love! Murphy joined our rescue just two weeks ago, and now this handsome little guy is on the hunt for his forever family! At 3½ months old and 18 pounds, he's the perfect mix of cute, goofy, and cuddly. We definitely see Shepherd in him, and some of his siblings look like they have Lab mixed in too. Our best guess is he'll grow into a handsome 60-ish pound adventure buddy! Murphy has never met a stranger—everyone is his new best friend! People? Yep. Kids? Absolutely. Dogs? You bet. Cats? They're friends too! His foster home has all of the above, and Murphy fits right in. One thing you'll notice right away is how devoted Murphy is to his people. He's your very own little shadow! If he isn't sitting on your feet, he's watching to see what you're doing next. ❤️ He just loves being wherever his favorite humans are. And brains? This boy has them! (We blame the Shepherd genes. ) He's already making great progress with house training and crate training. Like any puppy, he'll need continued training, lots of playtime, and plenty of exercise—but he's eager to learn and aims to please. Murphy is also great at keeping himself entertained with his toys when you're busy, but the minute you're ready for an adventure, he's all in! He rides beautifully in the car, making him the perfect co-pilot for errands, weekend getaways, or trips to the park. Now, let's talk about one of Murphy's favorite hobbies... SWIMMING! This water-loving pup is happiest splashing around in the pool and having the time of his life. If your summer plans include water, Murphy would love to be your official swim buddy! If you're looking for a happy, smart, loyal little sidekick who's always up for fun, cuddles, and making you smile, Murphy is ready to fill that role. All he needs now is a family to call his own. Could that be you? ❤️ Murphy is current on vaccinations, preventative, deworming, and is microchipped. His adoption fee is $450. If you are interested in adopting him, please submit an application on our website at worthytails.rescuegroups. For any questions, please send an email to jessie.wilsoncomcast. Thank you for your interest in a rescue pup! PA Kennel License #18991

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
