Story
He’s a goofy, lovable 70-pound ham who charges into every day with confidence, charm, and just the right amount of chaos. He may be blind, but you’d never know it. Balin is looking for a home without small dogs or cats—he’s got a BIG personality and sometimes forgets just how big he is. He might be able to live with another dog, but it would need to be a calm, very patient buddy who can handle his enthusiastic greetings. Slow, structured introductions are a must.

Story
Meet Red! Hey there! I’m Red—named after Red XIII from Final Fantasy VII because, well, I’m just that cool I’m a 2-year-old, 76-pound reddish-brown pitbull mix with the softest eyes and the calmest soul. My foster mom found me wandering the streets, but now I’m living my best life with Chihuahuas, a cat, a German shepherd, and even two guinea pigs!I’m potty trained, polite, and I know how to ask to go outside. I don’t bark (like, ever), but I will give you my best whine if I need love or snacks. I’m super chill, gentle, and affectionate, and I’ve mastered the art of chewing “indestructible” stuffies. Baths aren’t my favorite, but give me a treat and I’ll power through like a champ.We’re working on crate training and not pulling on the leash—don’t worry, I’m a quick learner, especially if there’s praise or peanut butter involved. I love walks, the park, and I’m a total gentleman at PetSmart.I’ve come a long way, and now I’m ready to find my forever people. Maybe it’s you?&#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Adopt Red. He’s got love to give and snuggles to spare.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
Oh Miss Molly! How has the amazing Molly not yet been adopted? This gorgeous terrier mix gal with a smile on her face, a sparkle in her eyes, a happy wiggle butt tail wag is certain to bring years of love & joy to your home & life. She is great in a car, wonderful on a leash, know basic commands,smart & treat-motivated to learn. Due to her excitement and strength, older kids are best. Given her prey drive, cats & small dogs/animals are not a good fit for her forever home. Molly gets along well with other dogs, but she’d thrive best with a calm companion—or she’d be just as happy as the only dog, where she can truly shine and show off her best moves. Molly has a best friend at the rescue—a high-energy terrier mix named Wishbone. He knows basic commands and, while he loves to play, he's also a great snuggler when it's time to wind down. While Molly and Wishbone aren’t bonded, it would be a dream come true if they were adopted together Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
