Are you right for Murphy?Meet Murphy, a 9-year-old Irish Red and White Setter who is the sweetest boy who loves a fuss and a treat. This older gentleman is looking for his forever home with adopters who can give this gentle boy all the love he deserves. Murphy does still enjoy going out for walks, but would also really love to have a garden. In foster, he loves to snooze under some shade in the garden after an outing or just to get some fresh air, so it would benefit Murphy to have a private garden in his forever home. He has made some doggy friends whilst out on his walks, but would like to be the only dog in the home. He would not like to live with cats or birds. Murphy has been around younger children previously and could live with children 8+. This age could be lowered if the children are comfortable with larger dogs. He would appreciate minimal leave hours to begin with, but could slowly build up his leave hours to 2-4 hours.Is Murphy right for you?Magnificent Murphy loves being around people! His number one favourite way of spending his time is lying out in the shade in the garden and taking in all the smells and sounds nature has to offer. He settles well in the evening, all ready to get some beauty sleep in his cosy bed. He may be an older boy, but don't be fooled, he still loves to go out for a potter around local areas and exploring! Murphy enjoys running after his ball and the simple things in life. If you could offer this gentle soul his forever home, he would make a family very happy!
