My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Murphy — The Sweetest Couch Potato with a Playful Spark! 🎆

Murphy is quite simply a wonderful dog. 🥰 He’s easy to love, easy to live with, and full of gentle gratitude. 💙 At 10 years old, he’s mellow, affectionate, and full of quiet charm. Saying goodbye to him will be hard — he’s been such a joy to foster — but we know he deserves the very best forever home. 🤗

Murphy’s favorite pastime is relaxing. He’s the ultimate couch potato, happiest when curled up nearby or snoozing peacefully. 😴 But don’t let his laid-back vibe fool you — he still has a playful side! 🤭 He loves a good game of ball, which is a great way to bond and help him burn off a little energy. When it’s time to go outside, Murphy often surprises us with a burst of zoomies before settling back into his calm routine. 🫣

He’s fully housebroken, respectful indoors, and enjoys short walks (about a quarter mile at a time). 😉 He’s polite on leash and doesn’t pull. Murphy gets along well with other respectful dogs.

Murphy is cautious around children. Because of this, we recommend a home with children ages 15+ and dog-savvy who can respect his space. He can also be uncomfortable around men and may need slow, thoughtful introductions.

He’d thrive in a quiet home with a fenced yard, where he can explore at his own pace and enjoy time outside with his people. 💙

Murphy is ready to be part of someone’s family. If you’re looking for a calm, loyal companion with a touch of playful spirit, Murphy might be your perfect match. 😍

Additional adoption info

Each pet that is available for adoption is in a foster home for a minimum of 2 weeks after being rescued. This allows the animal to decompress and show their true personality, which in turn helps us find their best match.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Visit https://operationfreedomride.com/ and click "available pets" to see who is available for adoption.

Periodically we have adoption events around the greater Rochester, NY area; however, we largely rely on the application process to best match people/families with available pets and then set-up a meet and greet to make sure it's a great match before finalizing the adoption.
