Notes from Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue

Murray is a Beagle mix estimated to be about 10 years old. He is a very gentle, low-maintenance, easy dog and, despite his age, has a spring in his step and can run surprisingly fast. He displays those lovable [but occasionally annoying] Beagle behaviors such as magically appearing when there is food to be had, letting his nose direct his steps...usually in haste to a tantalizing smell, lavishing his affection on humans and sleeping the night away with visions of squirrels dancing in his head! Murray enjoys walks and does great on leash. After his walk, he patiently waits for you to wipe his feet off so he doesn’t track debris into the house. He loves rolling in the grass and soaking up the sunshine. Murray is house-trained and a gentleman in the home. He is very quiet. He does exhibit some mild separation anxiety when left alone but is not destructive. When you return, whether it’s been 2 minutes or 3 hours, Murray greets you like you are a rock star! He forms a strong bond with his family and is very loyal. Murray requires only gentle correction or redirection. His whole life is focused on pleasing his humans! He also loves other canine companions and would love to have a canine friend.

Though 10-ish, Murray still has several good years ahead of him. He is healthy, has no known medical issues, is UTD on vaccines, neutered and microchipped. He came into care with rotted teeth and open nasal fistulas and had extensive dental surgery to remove all his remaining rotted teeth and suture the fistulas. Murray has recovered well from his surgery. Because all his teeth were removed his tongue hangs out all the time. But that only makes him all the cuter! He has a healthy appetite and eats soft food with dry kibble softened with warm water.

Murray just wants a family to love….could it be yours?

Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The microchip is transferred to the adopter once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a one-time $15 microchip enrollment fee. Microchips are enrolled with AKC Reunite. Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.
