Story
Meet Emma & Murphy — A Love Story with Very Short Legs Some things are simply better together. Peanut butter and jelly. Movies and popcorn. And Emma and Murphy. â¤ï¸ These two bonded Basset Hounds, estimated to be 3–5 years old, have already been through a heartbreaking change together. They once shared a home with their people and three other dog siblings, but when their owners passed away unexpectedly, their whole world changed. Through it all, Emma and Murphy have had one constant: each other. Now they’re looking for a forever home where they can stay side by side. And personality-wise? These two could not be more perfectly mismatched. Emma is the boss. She’s sassy, confident, and quite certain that whatever is happening, she should probably be in charge of it. Emma doesn’t believe in strangers—only friends she hasn’t met yet. She’s happy to collect attention, pets, and admirers wherever she goes. Murphy is her lovable, dopey sidekick. He’s playful, goofy, and ridiculously endearing. He can be a little nervous when meeting someone new, but give him a little time and reassurance and that timid boy quickly turns into a sweet, affectionate snuggle bug. Together, they’re a wonderful pair. Both love affection, snuggles, and pets, and they’ve already proven they know how to live in a home. One particularly great perk: they can be trusted loose in the house and left home alone for extended periods. They’ve already lost their home and their people. What they haven’t lost is each other. Emma and Murphy aren’t asking for much: a comfy place to land, plenty of hands for petting, and a family willing to make room for two long bodies, four floppy ears, eight short legs, and a whole lot of love. They came into foster care together. Now we’re determined to see them leave together. â¤ï¸ Apply to adopt Emma & Murphy and give these two best friends the happy ending they deserve. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.
