My personality

My story

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

URGENT: Can you help me? I need a FOSTER home or an ADOPTIVE home by 9/28/2024. I am currently in Texas awaiting my second chance. Not all pups are lucky to get out but, with your help, I may just have that chance! If you can help, please apply on www.HBWI.org.

I’m Murphy, the biggest (but still small!) pup from my litter, and I’m ready to find my forever family. Right now, I’m soaking up the good life in my foster home in Texas, but I’ve got my sights set on Wisconsin—and hopefully, your heart!

I may be the largest of my siblings, but don’t let that fool you—I’m still a cuddly, playful pup who’s all about love and belly rubs. I was found with my littermates on the streets of Texas, and ever since, I’ve been learning how great it feels to be cared for. Now, I’m ready to bring that love to a home of my own.

I’ve got all the puppy essentials—plenty of energy, curiosity, and a big appetite for treats. But my favorite thing? Snuggling up after a long day of play. I’m still figuring out the world, but with a little patience (and maybe a few snacks!), I’ll fit right in.

FEE INCLUDES: Adopting an adult dog (6 months or older) includes spaying/neutering, vaccinations, deworming, flea & tick prevention, heartworm testing, and microchipping.

For dogs under 6 months, they receive age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, flea/tick prevention, and microchipping. All dogs are spayed/neutered by 6 months, covered within the adoption fee. The procedure must be done at one of our partner clinics.

To begin the adoption process, please submit an application on our website: www.hbwi.org/adopt. Once approved, you'll have the opportunity to meet our available dogs. Following the meeting, you can initiate a 5-day Adoption Trial, allowing you to take the dog home. This trial period is designed to ensure the dog is a match for you and aligns with your lifestyle. After the 5-day trial, if all goes well, the adoption will be finalized. Additionally, we require a home visit once the dog is settled in its new home to ensure a smooth transition for both the dog and the adopter.

Additional adoption info

We run thorough background checks on each of our applicants, which include a veterinary check for any current pets, a property check, etc.

Go meet their pets

As a foster-based rescue organization, we do not have a central boarding facility for our animals. If you are interested in meeting one of our available animals, we highly encourage you to submit an adoption application. Once approved, you will be able to meet our animals.
