Story
HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is currently spending time in a foster home. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please contact ARL-Adoption@arl-iowa.org.---- Always happy to see his people and will greet you with lots of tail wags - Has been a perfect gentleman in his foster home and enjoys following a similar routine each day - Likes to wake his foster mom up with face kisses - Goofy guy who loves playing with balls and other toys like plush toys, KONGs and tug toys - Enjoys walks and car rides, but is also happy when it's time to go home and chill together - Already knows sit, paw, kennel, down, inside, outside and let's go - he's a smart boy, and he loves treats!- Has done well in a crate and on walks and has been very gentle with children who have wanted to pet him during his walks; he'd love to meet any kids in your home before adoption to make sure everyone is a great match - Can be awkward in his interactions with other dogs (dog intro required) - Has been known to chase cats outdoors; has not lived with cats indoors - Overall a wonderful dog looking for a predictable home with people who will give him time to decompress and settle in; he'll be a great friend for a lucky person or family! - 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: Black Weight: 81.4 Age: 4yrs 4mths 3wks

Story
Hi my name is Ace! I’m about 8 months old and around 45 pounds. I love playing ball and hanging out with my brother Jack. I love being loved and will cuddle you all day. I sleep in my kennel and I’m doing great with potty training. When you meet me, I’ll be shy at first but overtime will warm up to you. I haven’t had the best of luck with humans, so I may take my time but I’m worth it. Can’t wait to be with you for forever. I love other dogs and will need a dog friend in my forever home.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. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it.

Story
Angel is a 1.5-year-old German Shepherd mix, weighing in at 52 pounds of pure sweetness! This waggy-tailed girl is all about love and affection, always ready for snuggles and playtime. She’s learning commands like sit and stay and picking them up quickly.Angel loves playing catch, enjoys chew toys, and gets along great with her foster’s dog. She’s crate trained and working on house training, making great progress every day. While super docile and chill, she’s also a great watchdog, barking only at potential “threats” like the UPS man or passing drivers.If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and loving companion, Angel is ready to wag her way into your heart and home!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.
