Murtaugh's Story

DOB: 1/6/2026<br/><br/>Murtaugh arrived from Puerto Rico carrying exactly three things: a wagging tail, unlimited curiosity, and the firm belief that every human he meets was put on Earth to admire him. So far, honestly? He may be right.<br/><br/>This tri-color little gentleman approaches life like it’s one giant comedy sketch. Toys mysteriously fly through the air, blankets become wrestling opponents, and every doorway is apparently a racetrack. He’s still figuring out the whole “manners” thing, but he tackles each day with such enthusiasm that it’s hard not to cheer him on.<br/><br/>Underneath all the puppy shenanigans is a boy with a serious talent for melting into your lap the second the excitement winds down. One look from those soulful eyes and suddenly you’re explaining to him why he can’t have your sandwich like he’s your tiny fuzzy therapist.<br/><br/>Murtaugh seems delighted by basically everything — walks, snacks, squeaky toys, existing in your general vicinity — and he’s ready to bring his goofy charm and island-boy swagger to a forever home of his own.<br/><br/>The Adoption Fee is $450, which includes all age-appropriate vaccines, spay/neuter, and FELV/FIV testing. Microchip transfer is an additional fee.<br/><br/>**For more information regarding ROAR’s adoption policies and procedures, please visit our website at roar-ridgefield.org and select the ‘adopt’ tab on the home page.
