Murdock von Marsberg is a beautiful 3 year old sable German Shepherd mix. Per his own words, “Hi, my name is Murdock! I am new to Westside but already I am a volunteer favorite! You can see me on Hill Street – I’m the one with the cute floppy ears who greets everyone very politely. They all call me the “gentle giant” since I am very low-maintenance and walk great on leash. I am mid-energy and my tail is always wagging. If you pet me, I will lean against you like a cat. I love getting my butt rubbed and I can cuddle with you for hours. When I am comfortable with you, I can act like a big puppy but I always maintain my gentleness. The kennel workers call me the “super sweet giant” and, no matter how busy they are, they always stop to pet or hug me. In playgroups I show off how well-socialized I am and the kennel techs like to challenge me by putting me with pushy males and females. I am always tolerant and will ignore them and keep walking, but I think I would prefer to go home with a nice, equally-mellow dog. I am housebroken and passed my first cat test. With my easy-going temperament, I can fit into any home easily. If you are looking for a sweet, big boy, will you come down and ask to meet me."
