Notes from Buffalo C.A.R.E.S. Animal Rescue

Hi everyone! My name is Murphy!

I’m a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, and my foster mom says I’m a pretty handsome dude… what do you think?

I’m a super sweet boy with a big heart, and I love to snuggle—it’s one of my favorite things to do! Whether it’s with my foster mom or anyone who enjoys a good cuddle, I’m all in. Could that be you?

I live with lots of other dogs, including my three siblings, and we all get along great. I love toys—any kind, really—but stuffies, bones, and ropes are my favorites. If I can chew it, I’m a happy pup! I also love a good game of tug-of-war with my siblings… and sometimes I even let them win

I get super excited to meet new people! I’ve been to some special events where I got lots of attention, and let me tell you—I loved every second of it. I’ve spent time with both adults and kids, and I think they’re all so much fun.

I’m working hard on my potty training and doing really well when I stick to a schedule. I’m also crate trained—I’m perfectly fine hanging out in there when my humans are away, and I sleep through the night without a peep. That said, I wouldn’t mind upgrading to a comfy bed where we can keep each other company and share sweet dreams.

I love being outside, especially now that the weather is getting warmer. I’m not a big fan of the cold, but maybe with a cozy coat, I could learn to like it! I’m just starting to learn about leashes, and with a little guidance, I’ll be ready for all kinds of adventures and family walks.

If you think I might be the perfect addition to your home, I’d love to meet you and show you just how much love I have to give
