My story

　　Murdoch’s the man for you!Hi, there! My name is Murdoch. I’m a big hunk of love who is as sweet as can be. I’m friendly, playful, and the ultimate companion. I’m a 3-year-old, 65-pound, Shepherd mix. I’m already neutered and I’m a healthy guy!It’s also important to know I’m blind. As you’d expect, my day-to-day comes with a few challenges, but I don’t let it slow me down! I just keep plugging away like the happy doggo that I am. You know what they say… love is blind! I was recently rescued from Ensenada and have been loving life in sunny San Diego. The only thing that could make me happier is a furever home with you!I’m a friendly fella who gets along with hoomans and hounds alike. I adore kids too! Word on the street is that I’m not the biggest fan of the sworn enemy… cats. I’ll gladly play with another pooch though! Since I’m a big boy, I do best with other dogs who are around my size. Due to my blindness, I don’t always have the most gentle touch. When I’m not playing with my furry foster sisters, I love rolling in the grass or just kicking back to relax. I’ll gladly take a nice long snooze at your feet while you work or snuggle up for some pets. Once I’m comfortable in my surroundings, I’m a very mellow man!I’m already house, bathroom, and leash training— check, check, and check! I enjoy going on walks, but do depend on the leash for guidance and security. I don’t complain when you leave, but I prefer having company! Even though I love to play, I do need time to get comfortable in my surroundings. I can get spooked easily and need patience adjusting to a new space.My ideal furever home is one where I can get all the love that I deserve! I’m such a sweet boy who is impossible not to fall in love with. I think I’d be best in a home with another large, mellow dog that I can be my buddy and show me the ropes. I would do just fine with kids too! A single-story home without too many obstacles is probably best. I know it will take some time, but I can’t wait to adjust to my furever home with a furever family! Will that lucky person be you? My adoption fee is $350 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
