Story

Bodie came to our shelter in pretty bad shape as an owner surrender. Little is known about his house manners or previous background before the shelter. He arrived dirty and extremely matted, so unfortunately we did have to have his beautiful fur shaved to give him some comfort. Here, he has tested well with other dogs and doesn’t seem to mind cats. He’s a very sweet boy. Bodie is a 8 yrs old Male Shih Tzu who is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Meet Beans! This handsome little guy is a 1 year old Shih Tzu weighing 13 pounds. He's friendly and has the cutest little goofy facial expressions. He's a happy wiggle worm who's fantastic with kids of all ages and other dogs.Beans is an Ambassadog, which means his higher adoption fee will give us much needed help covering dogs with more medical expenses.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.September 29, 2023, 4:08 pm

Meet Diamond! She's super sweet, snuggly and playful. This adorable senior gal is around 10.5 years old and 18 pounds. She doesn’t have the best sight or hearing anymore, but that doesn’t stop her from loving with her whole heart. She had a dental and bloodwork, so she’s doing well health-wise. She doesn’t have a lot of teeth and prefers wet food, but she’s not super picky. She's pee pad trained and gets along great with other dogs, cats and kids. She does great at the groomer’s and she’s an all around fantastic little dog!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

Guboo is a 12 yr old, 11 lb, spayed female, tricolor, shih tzu. She lived with 2 adults and 3 kids under 9. Now why would you dump your kids pet in a large pound? Because she suspected she was going blind? Well she is very sight impaired but gets around just fine. Her owner forgot to state she was hearing impaired too? She is very sweet and affectionate. Good in the car and getting groomed. Guboo deserves someone who will love her for her remaining years. She will give back as much as you will give her. Guboo is heart worm negative, up to date on shots, just had her teeth cleaned, microchipped and bordatella. Please contact Amy, the foster mom at FixFidoNow@gmail.com

Story

Best friend Buddy is just that.  He is a happy-go-lucky little guy that does not meet a stranger.  He is good with dogs, cats, and people of almost all ages (no toddlers).  Buddy always seems to be smiling.  This sweet little guy will be an excellent addition to the right family.  Buddy would like a home with another same size and age dog, so he has a companion.  He would also like a fenced in yard as he is used to smelling around when he goes out to do his “business”. Buddy is housebroken (he whines to let you know that he needs to go out), doggie door trained, and he walks well on a leash.  Buddy loves his daily walks.  This little cutie also rides great in the car.  He just settles down and sits in the seat.  Buddy is the perfect co-pilot.  He would be a great companion for someone that would take him places.   Buddy is a very social guy.  He wants to be wherever you are, and in your lap if possible.  His foster mom has moved a chair beside her desk so Buddy can sit there.  He also has wiggled his way into sleeping right beside her.  Buddy would do best with someone who is home most of the time.  He is just happy to be with you.  He is 8-10 years old and he weighs 16 lbs.  Buddy has had some eye issues that went untreated by his original family.  He has had surgery and is now on eye drops both eyes for the rest of his life.  Poor Buddy also has a heart murmur and is on medicine for that. Buddy is well worth the added expense of these medicines.  And don’t forget that he needs to be groomed regularly.  The love you get in return for loving and taking care of Buddy makes it all worth while.   He has been neutered and is current on all his shots and microchipped.  To be considered for Buddy's forever home and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Buddy is currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)September 30, 2023, 12:16 am
