Murphy is a young male Border Collie mix who is estimated to have been born around February 14, 2012. He was surrendered by his owner because of his extreme shyness, especially with men.
I have been working with Murphy to teach him the world isn't such a scary place and although he has improved - he still has a long way to go. I believe having another dog in his adoptive home would be a big help for him as he loves to play with other dogs and also feels more confident when they are around. He loves playing with my little female Australian Shepherd and lets her boss him around mercilessly.

Murphy LOVES the water and is always the first in the kiddie pool. The only time he gets out is to occasionally chase after a ball, another dog, or if the pool gets overrun with dogs and he is forced out.
Murphy is current on all his vaccinations, has been neutered, microchipped, and is on heartworm preventative. Because of his shyness issues, it would be best he not go to a home with children. Murphy will also require a fenced in yard.
