🐾❤️ MEET ETHEL & ZORRO — BONDED Basset HOUNDS LOOKING FOR THEIR FOREVER HOME! ❤️🐾
Double the ears, double the personality, double the love!
Meet Ethel and Zorro, a bonded pair of basset hounds, both estimated to be around 10 years old, who are looking for a forever home where they can stay together.
💙 ZORRO is an unusually large basset hound with plenty of hound to love!
❤️ ETHEL is a petite girl
Don’t let their age fool you! These two are playful, friendly, and great with people and other dogs. They love treats and toys, are great on a leash, and are getting better at navigating stairs. They’re also making progress with their house training, with fewer accidents as they learn their routines.
And when it comes to food? These two aren’t particularly picky eaters! 😂 The way to their hearts may just be through their stomachs!
🏡 WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR
A loving home willing to welcome both of them and continue helping them succeed. They’ll need patience, consistency, and understanding as they continue working on their house manners. Their compatibility with cats is unknown.
❤️ A NOTE ABOUT THEIR HEALTH
Ethel has been treated for cancer; there is a chance that it may return. Her adopter should understand her medical history and be prepared to discuss ongoing monitoring and care with her veterinarian.
Both dogs have had teeth extracted, and their veterinarian advises that additional extractions may be needed in the future.
🐶🐶 TWO HOUNDS. ONE BOND. ONE HOME TO SHARE.
Ethel and Zorro have each other. Now they’re looking for a family to welcome them both and give them the comfort, security, and love they deserve through their golden years.
They may be seniors, but they still enjoy the simple pleasures in life: a good treat, a favorite toy, and the company of people who care about them.
They don’t need a perfect home. They need a committed one — and they need it together. ❤️
🏡 Please SHARE to help Ethel and Zorro find their forever family! Their happy ending is out there. Let’s help them find it! ❤️🐾
