Some destinies are just made before you are born! She is about 8 months old and is full of curiosity and excitement. She was born with a smaller right eye, but it doesn't bother her at all.

Story

These 3 sweet brothers were found together on the street. They’re very sweet boys and about 1.5 years old. Bodhi (red collar) is the biggest at 15 pounds, and he's also the leader of the group. Dylan (neon yellow collar) is 11 pounds. Mick (orange collar) is the smallest at 9 pounds. They’ve probably never been in a home before, but their dispositions are so loving and they’ll move past their initial shyness quickly.

Story

Meet Lynette! She is a sweet senior that is missing her recently deceased daddy desperately. His sister brought her to us and said she slept in his chair for weeks after he passed. She is a CHONKY 22 pounds and is around 10 years old. She should probably weigh 15 pounds max. She is a very quiet little girl that would love to snuggle up in your lap or lay in the bed next to you. She’s not very fond of the chaos here at the rescue but she does get along with other dogs and loves people. We would LOVE for her to find herself a comfy lap to snuggle on for the rest of her life, she misses her daddy so much!IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats.

HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by request. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please contact Kathryn Kvry@arl-iowa.org. ---- Great dog with tons of potential who is looking for a special family who will continue working with her to help her gain confidence and learn that life is full of great things. If you're up to the challenge, read on! - Came from an environment where she did not get the normal socialization that most puppies get, so the world is still a very scary place for her - Has come a long way in the weeks we have been working with her - Has worked with our behavior team on being OK with being touched, but she has yet to solicit attention; we've seen lots of progress, but things such as petting from strangers, leashing up, and anything a "normal" dog would like can still be quite scary for her, so she will need continued help over time from her new family - Leaving interactions 100% up to her and using treats as rewards are great ways to gain her trust; she LOVES having the choice to interact and have her space - Has shown interest in other dogs and would really benefit from a calm, confident dog friend in her new home so she can follow their lead and build confidence by watching them navigate daily life - Needs a teens-and-up home right now, as young children are way too much for her. A mature, structured home would be perfect! - Since she's still learning to live with people, vet visits will have to be approached differently, so it will be important to talk with your veterinarian about ways to help her be most comfortable - We are requiring a fenced yard to ensure she stays safe and secure as she has had no experience with being on leash - Looking for a predictable home with very patient people who understand that it will take her not days but months to become completely comfortable. If you're willing to give her that time, you'll see, just as we have, that she is worth the wait! It will be incredibly rewarding to watch her become more trusting every day! The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Red Age: 6yrs 0mths 4wks
