Murphy loves to explore the interesting world around him. He’s on the independent side and happy to do his own thing while you do yours. He’s pretty low-key and likes to keep things chill. He takes a bit of time getting to know new people, so go slow with him, and you’re sure to be best friends!

To set up a virtual visit or to adopt, send adoption forms to adopt@apsofdurham.org. To view Murphy’s webpage, visit apsofdurham.org/dogs/murphy. Same-day adoptions are now available in the shelter!

Adoption fees for dogs and puppies typically range from $100-$175. This includes a basic medical exam, spay or neuter surgery, microchip implantation, rabies and other vaccinations, intestinal parasite check, a heartworm test and deworming.

Thanks to our sponsors, new owners of each adopted featured pet will receive a complimentary first wellness visit from Park Veterinary Hospital & Urgent Care and a free full day of camp at Camp Bow Wow.
