I could go on and on about why pets are amazing, but any pet-owner out there knows I’m preaching to the choir. I’m a happier person with my dogs in my life … they make my house more of a home, their warmth not just coming from their furry bodies, but from the unconditional love they have in their hearts.

MURPHY
After losing Georgia, we decided to wait until after the holidays to consider adopting another dog. We had adopted Ernie, our bunny, from IndyCLAW Rescue four years prior and they had a dog available that checked all our boxes: good with kids, good with other dogs and housebroken. Enter Murphy in February of 2023, a nearly-five year-old German Shepherd/Irish Wolfhound mix, the largest dog I’d ever owned in my life! Murphy immediately made himself at home, taking up nearly half our couch, and adoring all the attention from all four of my children. He also got along well with Gus, which was another important factor, and was a perfect gentleman in the house. When we lost Gus only a month after welcoming Murphy to our family, he was so incredibly sad and lonely and we knew he would be happiest with another canine sibling in the house. We adopted his “sister” over Easter weekend in April of 2023 and he’s back to his old, happy self and loves being the bossy big brother, wrestling and playing in the backyard. We love our big, goofy boy and he’s such a gentle giant … he takes his role as the family’s official welcoming committee AND protector very seriously! ❤
COCO
After Gus passed away in March of 2023 we were going to take our time in adding to the family since we had just brought Murphy home in February. However, we noticed that Murphy was becoming depressed and decided to jump at the opportunity to adopt a 10 month-old Bernese Mountain dog puppy that came available on Petfinder from Yogi’s Mastiff Rescue. Coco was born with an autoimmune disorder known as polyarthropathy, but after being treated at a vet and finishing her medication, she should lead a normal rest of her life! It was challenging having a puppy again and I had forgotten just how much WORK they take, but she has been worth it and we adore her snuggles and goofy personality. Coco is the pesky little sister to Murphy’s bossy big brother and they’re an inseparable pair … we’re so thankful for her! ❤
