Story
Billy is a tiny 5.5-pound Chihuahua with a gentle soul and a heart full of potential. At just 1 year old, he’s still a bit shy and nervous in the rescue environment, but we know he’ll blossom in a patient, loving forever home.Billy would thrive in a quieter household without small children, where he can feel safe and take his time building trust. He enjoys being held and snuggled once he knows you, and he’d love to have a confident dog companion to help guide him and bring him out of his shell.With a little time and a lot of love, Billy is sure to become a devoted and cuddly best friend.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
This little guy may be small in size, but he’s got a big heart and an even bigger personality! Barney is a 2-year-old, 11-pound Chihuahua mix who was found as a stray and is now on the hunt for his perfect forever home.Barney can be a little grumpy at first—but give him a minute and he’ll become your devoted shadow. He forms strong bonds quickly and just wants to be by your side (or under the covers, keeping your feet warm and safe). He does best with someone who’s home a lot, as he can get a little anxious when left alone. So if you’re a homebody, Barney just might be your perfect match.He’s fully house-trained, an expert doggy-door user, and sleeps through the night—often tucking himself in like a pro. He loves his foster dog siblings and is a big fan of chew toys.If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick who’ll make you laugh and love you fiercely, Barney’s 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.
