Murphy is a big, giant puppy. If he knows what you want from him, he will most likely comply. A shepherd mix who likes to please, Murphy is food- and praise-motivated. He’ll need a lot of room to run and a good amount of interaction with his new family. He’s good with kids and other dogs.

Murphy is house-trained and up-to-date on his vaccines. He is available through PAWS of Grays Harbor, 800 W. First St., Aberdeen. They are open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Thursdays from 2 to 5 p.m. You can also visit PAWS online at www.pawsgh.org, find them on Facebook or Instagram, or call 360-533-1141.
