Story
Ada is a resilient 6-year-old sweetheart weighing just 8.5 pounds. Life hasn’t been easy for her—she was rescued from a struggling city shelter after ending up as a stray.

She’s now receiving medicated baths and antibiotics, and her beautiful glow-up is right around the corner.Through it all, Ada has remained incredibly loving and sweet. She adores people, gets along with all dogs, and is so ready to leave her rough past behind and find a family to love her through the rest of her journey. If you’re looking for a truly special little soul, Ada is ready to meet you!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.

Story
Meet Barney – Your Loyal Little Shadow!Barney is a 2-year-old, 11-pound Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love and a serious talent for cuddling. Once he gets to know you, this sweet boy turns into a total snuggle bug who wants nothing more than to be by your side.Barney is potty trained, uses the doggy door like a pro, and walks beautifully on a leash. He’s also a great little travel buddy and does wonderfully in the car. While he’s not a fan of the crate, he’s happiest when he’s close to his person—curled up on the couch or tucked in next to you at night.As a classic Velcro dog, Barney does experience some separation anxiety, so he’d do best in a home where someone is around more often than not. He’s wonderful with other dogs, but because he can be a little sensitive to unexpected touches, he’d prefer a calmer home without small children.Barney is the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal, loving friend who enjoys walks, cuddles, and simply being near his favorite human. If you’re looking for a little buddy to share your days and your heart, Barney just might be your guy.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.

Story
Meet Dill!This energetic explorer with a big personality is always on the move, whether she’s scaling patio furniture, hopping over other dogs, or sniffing out hidden treasures on your walks. With a nose for adventure and a heart full of love, she’s the perfect partner for outdoor escapades and couch cuddles alike. Dill is a 1 year old, 10 pound chihuahua mix.She lives for chew toys (seriously, they don’t stand a chance) and playing and cuddling with her sister Basil. Climbing is her favorite sport-chairs, couches, cat trees, you name it. When she’s not conquering her next challenge, she’s showering her humans with affectionate licks and wagging her tail like it’s her full-time job.While Dill will sometimes have accidents if she’s been inside for too long, she does well with regular bathroom breaks. She co-exists well with cats, dogs, and small children and is also kennel trained. She does super well sleeping in the kennel through the night.If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who’s always up for a little adventure, Dill is ready to leap into your life (and probably into your life (and probably your lap too).She’d love to be adopted with her sister Basil, but they do not need to be adopted together.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.
