Today was the first time I have been directly involved in basset hound rescue efforts, other than “rescuing” my two. I have wanted to be involved for a while now, but my schedule has been packed with residency work, and before that, school work, for years now.
Early this morning, my mother, my nephew, and I helped transport Murphy to his forever home. Murphy is a senior basset that has been in a foster home in Unicoi, TN for a while. He has finally found a forever home, but his adopting family was all the way in Iowa!
So, through a system of volunteers taking their turns driving short distances, Murphy is on his way home!
He was such a sweet boy! And such a very large boy! This is why I brought backup. His 77 pounds of hound love could not get into or out of the car!
Here is some pictures of sweet Murphy , or “Hoss”. I hope to help more in the future!
Thanks Emily for helping Murphy~~he is going to a super forever home with the help of all his friends!!!!
I’m waving at you~~Lubb Bob the DOg
He was such a good boy in the car! Charlie had him wrapped up in a quilt and I think he got a little hot but he was better when we rolled down the window! Love all the people involved in these ventures. Hope to do more of this with Emily and/or when I retire!
Love a basset transport because they all have wonderful stories with great hearts! Thank you for providing your time to transport Murphy.
