Hi Friends,

​

My name is Murphy but I have been nicknamed "oh Murphy" because I am your typical lab puppy that will need lots of love and guidance. I am 8 months old and am coming to Lab Rescue for a couple of reasons. My humans have separated so trying to train and exercise me has been a struggle. Over the last couple of months I have been exhibiting guarding behaviours over my food and it has been really overwhelming for my owner. I know I could be a really good boy if I found the right owners who were active and had experience with training.

​

Medically, I am a healthy puppy. I do have a chicken allergy so as long as I don't eat it I am fine.

​

I have full access to the house. This is where I am a super good boy. I don't bark. I am house trained and love to play around in the backyard. I can be left alone as long as I am tired out first. I love to go for long walks and walk 2-3 times daily. I am still young so I will need training off leash.

​

I am good with other dogs and like to play but due to my resource guarding with food that could be an issue. I have never met a cat so I don't know how I would act.

​

Overall, my cuteness is definitely my strength! I am super food motivated and eager to please so I know I could turn out to be a really good boy if a family would take the time to show me the ropes.

​

Do I sound like I could be a match for you?

​

Love, Murphy boy.
