About Murphy

MURPHY (Murphys Lough) was born on 19th June 2019, but looks older than his years. Now a completely different dog to the one who arrived on the 11th November 2025 with SLO and severe anxiety issues, he’s ready for a home of his own. Murphy weighs 34 kg. is house trained, neutered, inoculated, microchipped, is a lovely friendly lad who enjoys a cuddle, is good with children, loves to run around, play and travels well in a car. He’s been on Omega3 capsules twice a day for his SLO and all his nails are growing back normally. For his anxiety he’s been on natural calming treats and ‘one to one’ walks have made a huge difference. Often with a muzzle on in new places when out makes him feel more comfortable, standing still with him close to you and your hand on his side helps when he sees another dog, or when one walks past, and being told ‘Murphy leave it’ helps him remain calm. To the right home he’ll make a wonderful companion.
