lly. Movies and popcorn. And Emma and Murphy. ❤️ 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. ❤️ 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.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
