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.

Story

Hello my name is Rory! I am a 4 month old puppy! I currently weigh 17lbs! My foster family sent off my DNA to Embark to get a better guess at the question of what am I?! As it turns out, I am mostly a German Shepherd! That must be why I am so smart. I am very treat motivated to learn new things! I know things like “sit” and I am working diligently on “heel.” I spend most of my day playing with my favorite toys or my foster brother, Louie! If you have a dog in your home already that I could play with that would be wonderful! Once I’ve got my puppy energy out I am happy to curl up on the couch for a good snuggle session. I love meeting new people but when my foster mom takes me out at night I am on high alert! I am getting better each day at asking to go potty, soon I will be fully potty trained! I sleep in my crate at night without a peep. I’m ready to find my forever family!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.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Stella is a 2 year old Shepherd/Heeler mix. She is a sweet dog who has a protective personality. This has caused her to exhibit what we refer to as "resource guarding". She is not an outwardly aggressive dog, but she has had issues in the past where she wasn't comfortable with the actions of a human that was in her immediate area. Stella does have a history of being mouthy to the point of breaking skin. We strongly feel that in the right environment, she will do wonderful. Stella would do best in a home with no small children or other animals. If you have an animal already in your home, we would require a slow introduction and possible several meet and greets to make sure it is a good fit. She loves walks and playing tugs and ball. Stella's adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, microchip and various other treatments. If Stella is the dog for you, please stop by the front desk or call 641-753-9046. Please don't count Stella out because of her history. Lets work together on her Furever instead!
