Murphy Charmtail

Hi there! I'm Murphy Charmtail (named for my gorgeous fluffy tail) and I'm looking for my forever home! I am a 3 year old mini-aussie. I currently weigh in at about 26lbs. I'm a bit skinny, so foster mom is feeding me extra portions right now. We think 30lbs will be a perfect weight for me.

I am a super handsome, super fun, super smart guy. Let me tell you all about myself!

I am crate trained, leash trained and e collar trained. I know several commands, including sit, shake and smile. I also have really great recall! I am potty trained, but I also have a tendency to mark my territory, so I wear a belly band in the house. That takes all the fun out of marking, so I generally don't do it anymore.

I am good with dogs, but I do need a good intro and a strong leader. I like to play hard, and when rough play goes on too long, I will escalate and can get into scuffles. If you watch me and make sure I take a break before I get too amped up, I do great. Currently I live with dogs of all sizes and behave very nicely with everyone. I love to play and I'm very athletic - I can jump a 3 foot fence with no problem!
I do have a high prey drive. Hunting squirrels is my favorite pastime! I haven't spent much time around cats or chickens, but we're pretty sure they're going to be a "no" for me.

I looooove humans. I am even wonderful with strangers. I bond fast and hard to my people, and I can be protective at times. There have been a couple of times that I told other dogs in my foster home to get away from my foster mom. Foster mom says that's not okay, so I've stopped doing that here. Again, a strong leader will be important to me.
I am so nice and snuggly, and I really chill so nicely in the house (as long as I've had plenty of play time!)
Foster mom says I'm such a good boy and I deserve a wonderful family. Could that be you? Apply to meet me today at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication
