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
Jack is a sweet boy! He is a ten year old, 16 pound chihuahua mix. He came to Charming Pet Rescue after his human passed away. He arrived at the rescue with his three sisters and two cats. He was quickly picked up by one of our foster families with his sister, Penny. Jack is very friendly and warms up to people very fast. He loves to lay down against you on the couch while you are relaxing. He sleeps well in his crate, and gets along with people and other dogs. He is fully vetted, and received dental work last week. He’s potty trained, and is comfortable going outside. He loves to snuggle, and enjoys your company. He immediately made himself at home with his foster family and their two dogs and enjoys spending time with you on the couch with his sister, Penny, watching TV.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.

This 4-month-old, 15-pound cutie is the perfect mix of chiweenie charm and scruffy terrier energy. With his expressive face and soulful eyes, Flash is sure to steal your heart before you even realize it.Flash is a thoughtful little guy who likes to observe the world before diving into the fun—but once he’s in, he’s all about playful zoomies, squeaky toys, and cozy snuggles. He’s fantastic with other dogs, gentle with people of all ages, and even does great with cats!Flash is doing wonderfully with potty training, sleeps peacefully through the night, and settles easily in his crate for naps or downtime. He loves being outside, is eager to please, and listens so well—it’s like he just knows he’s found a second chance and doesn’t want to waste it. His calm, easygoing nature makes him a joy to have around.Bonus cuteness? He enjoys carrots and cucumber as snacks!Flash is humble, grateful, and full of love to give.

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.
