Notes from Animal Rescue Fund of MS

Hi, I'm Murphy! If they ever reboot an action movie and need a four-legged sidekick, I'm your guy! I wake up every day ready to bust a loop, chase a toy, explore new places, and make every adventure a little more exciting. My goofy expressions—and ears that seem to have a personality of their own—keep everyone smiling. After I've burned off a few zoomies, I'm perfectly happy to trade action hero duties for hanging out with my favorite people. Life is too short to spend behind kennel bars, and I've spent far too much time watching the world go by. I think it's finally my turn to be somebody's adventure buddy. Ready? Let's go!
