My story

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

Murphy is little over 1 year old, small, with a craving for pets from his people! He likes other dogs and children, but we don't know about cats yet. He's so friendly that we wouldn't be surprised if he got along with any animal. We're still working on potty training, but he's getting better. Until then, he's been wearing a little velcro diaper that is working well. Murphy loves to go for walks with his leash or zoomies in the backyard. He really enjoys going out into the woods, but is not crazy about being in water. Murphy is a sweet and affectionate little guy with lots of energy. When he sees you or is getting pets, he wiggles with happiness. Sometimes when he's excited, he likes to walk on his back legs like a little boy! He likes chewing on his favorite toy, he likes to curl up for naps with his people, and he loves to sit in laps or next to his other dog roommates. We think Murphy would be great in a house with adults or kids that want to give him some pets and like having a dog who wants to be a buddy and not by himself all the time. He's a little dog with a big personality that is fun and happy. He is fully vetted and his adoption fee is $320. To meet him please fill out the application on our website - OFOSA.ORG and his foster mom will be in touch.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

View available pets on our website. Adopt-a-pet is not always accurate. Our website is accurate up to the minute.
Browse our website. www.ofosa.org

Website notes: Updated animal data is sent to the website as frequently as possible. Be sure to refresh the adoption pages in your browser for the latest information. Profiles of available pets are displayed on the available for adoption pages (Dogs and Cats). All information we have concerning an animal’s temperament and health is included on their profile.

Meet the animals and an Adoption Counselor
Once you’ve found an animal (or two!) that you’re interested in adopting, please email us at info@ofosa.org to set up a meet and greet with the foster family who is taking care of that pet. All pets have received an examination and assessed for any health or possible behavioral concerns to the extent possible while in our care.

REQUIREMENTS: All members of the family along with any other dogs must be present to meet the new animal to make sure that everyone is compatible! Dogs must not live as outdoor pets and all animals are REQUIRED to be spayed or neutered. Certain breeds will not be adopted to apartment dwellers. We also reserve the right to refuse to place an animal in a home without a fenced in back yard. We adopt our animals based on a first come, first qualified basis. Our main concern is to match our animals with the most ideal home, the decision is based on many different factors.

Complete the adoption
If you so choose, you are able to take the pet home on the same day that you first meet them. When you’ve found a great match, it’s time to complete the adoption process! You’re welcome to ask our volunteers or fosters questions about training and for tips on helping your new pet adjust to your home.

Placing Pets on Hold: We do not place animals on hold. We adopt out on a First Come, First Qualified basis.

Medical or Behavior Consults: If the pet you’re interested in has any medical conditions, we will arrange pre-adoption consultations with our medical / clinic staff so you know what to expect.
