Story

Gherkin is a cheerful one-year-old male shih tzu who weighs 10.7 lb. He is at a foster home, not at our shelter. His foster says "Gherkin made himself at home very quickly and can already navigate stairs, the doggy door and furniture like a pro. Noises don't bother him. Gherkin likes running around with my dogs and enjoys toys. After playing, he lies down for a nap. He rides quietly in the car and is comfortable on a leash. Gherkin is a quick learner, food motivated, eats well, sleeps through the night and is housetrained." Gherkin is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and healthy. His adoption fee is $400. If you would like to meet/adopt Gherkin, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms. Email daws@daws.org if you need assistance or have any questions. Gherkin can't wait to meet you!

Story

Meet Bunsen!This adorable little Shih Tzu is about 9 years old and weighs just 9 pounds. He’s not a koala, he just has the biggest eyes you’ll ever see! Bunsen came to us in rough shape after being found as a stray, but after a good grooming and a month of love in his foster home, he’s ready to find his forever family.Bunsen is the definition of a cuddly companion. He lives for butt scratches, tummy rubs, and cozy snuggles. Though he’s hard of hearing and has limited vision, he gets around just fine and is full of love to give. He’s gentle with cats, great with other dogs, and does well with kind, respectful kids.He’s mostly house trained with the help of a belly band and will even let you know when he needs to go outside. With a consistent schedule and a little patience, we think he could eventually leave the belly band behind altogether.Bunsen is a bit of a picky eater, so he’ll need someone who’s willing to be understanding and flexible at mealtime. But for the right person, this little guy will be an incredibly sweet and loyal companion.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.April 28, 2025, 5:11 am

Story

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.I love this little boy, he is a real sweetie for sure. NICK is only 5 months old and 10 pounds, he will probably be 15 pounds as an adult Shih Tzu. He gets along great with all of the foster dogs and follows them out to go potty. He is crate and house trained and can be trusted to be left alone in home while I am away. He does use a crate though because there are several dogs in the home. NICK loves snacks and he takes them gently. He does share his crate but not because he has to do so. Sometimes the puppy pugs take over and he just looks at me like 'what to do now?!!' He has no aggression in any area, seriously this guy is a total sweetheart and a carinig personality. He does need to be groomed and grooming will be part of his upkeep. If you are interested in adopting NICK, please submit an application on the website below. Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.
