Help Find Murphy a New Home Where He Can Thrive!

Murphy is a sweet, 5-year-old Lhasa Apso mix currently living in Greenwood with a family that has one other dog, and a 10 month old baby. He has a few issues he’s been working on, and is in need of a family with time and attention to help him be the best dog he can be!

He knows basic commands and loves to cuddle and play. He’s also neutered and up-to-date on all of his shots, and has current tags and license.

Here are the things he’s been working on:

Sometimes when he’s upset, he might have an accident in the house. It’s much better than it used to be and can likely be resolved through consistent training.

He’s also aggressive with larger dogs — they put him on the defense. But he’s worked briefly with some “Dog Whisperer” techniques that calmed him down and had him playing with a friend’s larger sheep dog, so we know he has great potential! He has done well with the other male dog in his family, who is about his size. But on occasion he’s been a little aggressive with him as well, if something startles him.

Hopefully, his new owners will be able to:

– walk him and play with him regularly

– groom him (he gets very shaggy every 3-4 months)

– give him consistent obedience training & lots of patience

– be aware of his fear of/aggression towards larger or “strange” dogs

– work on his “rebellious” accidents with training

Also, his new home preferably should:

– have a fenced yard

– have NO cats/ NO larger dogs

– have NO young children

– possibly have a same-size dog that’s older and female

If you’re interested in learning more or meeting him, please contact his owners:
