Story
Queen is the name and yes I want to rule the roost, however, as a puppy I follow whoever wants to rule ;) I am more like a princess, but that name was taken already!! I am a special special girl. I came from the pound with four other bottle babies, King and Jack my brothers and two siblings from another litter....I am the ONLY ONE WAITING FOR A HOME!! I am beautiful and not a REAL Shar Pei but I definitely have some wrinkles and my petite ears. I didn't look too much like my brothers as they are both hairy and fuzzy. But you won't have to worry about fur shedding all over either :D I want to be everyone's friend, I am smart and super sweet with all I meet. I would love a family with another dog or two or ten, doesn't matter i will get along with each one. My foster mom has many dogs large and small and each one I have my own unique relationship with. I am ready for you to love me, and take me places, and give me the love (and adventure) I have been looking for!! Adopt me soon, I will give up my throne for YOU :) Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Ace was originally adopted out of ACS as a small puppy, but was found completely emaciated and dumped. We were able to pull him into our rescue and he is now on his way to gaining back his weight.Other than being neglected our vet has found nothing wrong with Ace. He is an amazing sweet boy, and despite what he went through with his previous owners he is still such a loving, gentle boy. His soulful bright eyes and sweet smile melts the heart of everyone who meets him.Ace is crate and house trained, good with other dogs, kids and even cats. He's the happiest sweetest boy with an amazing disposition. Ace loves to snuggle and be near his people. Anyone would be lucky to have Ace as part of their family.Ace can't wait to find a forever family that won't let him down like his last one did.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. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.February 7, 2025, 5:16 am

Story
"Howdy, I'm Hank and I'm looking for a home!" Hank is an adorable Shar Pei mix with his handsome hippo-like snout and irresistibly soft cheeks! He is almost 60lbs, has a slender, muscular build and enjoys long walks, hiking adventures, plushy toys, and even enjoys his travel time in the car! He’s been doing great in his dog training classes and is a proud graduate of our Cooperative Care Specialty Class. Hank is neutered, microchipped, knows basic training foundations, is up to date on vaccinations and now just needs a home and family to call his own! This awesome 8-year-old pup will thrive in an adult home or one with older children (12+). Hank requests a cat free environment and isn’t one for energetic playtimes with other dogs, but he may enjoy the company of another calm, older canine companion. To learn more about handsome Hank and our adoption process, please contact Our Companions at 860-242-9999 or email Helpline@OurCompanions.org!

Story
Have you ever heard on the TV, well a hoarder's house has been raided and ... animals have been seized and sent to the pound or rescue organizations in the area.... WELL, we are FROM just that kind of situation :( The good thing is we were SAVED... the bad thing is that we had to ENDURE the neglect and disgusting home. The BEST thing is we were ALL SAVED by a rescue group who REFUSED to leave even ONE behind...... 30 dogs/pups ALL AT ONCE has been taxing and motivating for the rescuers. If you watch our video, the situation was very very challenging but our rescuers worked their butts off to save us. We are almost all ready for adoption, all the pups are social and ready for their furever homes! The young adults and adults are a little more shy but have been working really hard with our rescuers to be ready for YOU!! We are a unique "breed" mix, lol. Aunts/Uncles/Parents/SIblings... all "living" together. We have Shar Pei, Scruffy dogs, Pit Bull, and maybe Spaniel mixed in there :D We are all pretty much medium sized, 20-50# and cute as HECK!! If you have ever wanted to adopt a rescued dog that NEEDS the best home, WE ARE WAITING RIGHT HERE!!! Please watch our video, empathize with us AND our rescue family and ADOPT!!!! SO SO SO MANY LIVES DEPEND ON IT!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX only)
