He is a 1-year-old neutered Shepherd mix. He loves head pets and his doggy friends. He has been known to jump fences, so his future adopter will need to watch that. The staff at the Gants Animal Care Center say he is one of the sweetest boys they currently have.

Anyone interested in Murphy can visit him at the Grants Animal Care Center at 722 Redondo Rd. in Grants, N.M. They are open Monday-Friday from 8 am to 4 pm.
