From Labradors and Friends Dog Rescue Group

Foster or Forever Home Wanted: Meet Murphy! Murphy is a 2-year-old, 40 lb Labrador/Bull Terrier mix who’s ready to hop (literally!) into his next chapter. This compact cutie is bursting with love, charm, and just the right amount of goofiness — and he’d be thrilled to do all his waiting in a cozy foster home instead of a kennel. Murphy is a social butterfly who adores people and loves making new friends. Because he can get a little mouthy when excited, he’d do best in a home with older, considerate kids. And about that yard — this boy has springs for legs, so he’ll need a secure 6-foot+ fence to keep his bunny-hopping self safely grounded. On leash, Murphy walks nicely and is non-reactive to most dogs (unless you’re a fluffy white tiny dog — then yes, he has opinions). He knows his basic commands and is dog-friendly with proper introductions. With his rough-and-tumble play style, he’ll thrive with dogs his size or larger who can match his energy. He’s very tolerant, but he can get a bit overstimulated, so he’ll benefit from a handler who can help him settle and decompress when needed. Murphy is an active boy who needs daily exercise to be his best self — walks, playtime, or even…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
