Murray

At 12 years of age, Murray might surprise you with his enthusiasm for walks, but true to being a miniature dachshund, he also loves to snuggle and sleep under blankets. Used for breeding when he was a younger dog, Murray was adopted from a Nebraska shelter about two years ago. When his owner started working 10-hour days, she decided to responsibly rehome him.

His house training is not 100% trustworthy, so he wears a belly band in the house and usually holds it until given time to potty outside. Murray has done so well with other dogs in foster care that we’d recommend a home with at least one other small dog.

Murray does not play with toys and he’s not a fan of loud noises, so he’d like a quiet, peaceful home. We’ve never heard him bark and he seems to adapt easily to new situations. He seeks attention from humans, but is fairly low maintenance. Murray is also an enthusiastic eater, so he might need to be fed separately from other pets so he doesn’t eat more than his share.

He's taking a joint supplement, but no other meds and his lab work is excellent. In addition, his dental issues have all been addressed. We would prefer a home with either no stairs or limited access to stairways. Murray has been a joy to foster and we look forward to choosing the best fit for his forever home. His adoption donation request is $200 and our lifetime support option is included.
