Story
Meet Kobe! He was rescued from the side of the road by his foster, and he is just the sweetest boy! His foster family has been caring for him for about a year, but never intended to keep him forever. They have 5 kids ranging from 6 months old to 12 years old and they play with him and lay with him and he is always sweet and gentle with them. He’s never shown aggression to anyone at all. He’s crate trained and house trained, but he will dig under the fence if he doesn’t get enough exercise. He would thrive with more exercise, training and mental stimulation. He’s a very smart dog, but also quite strong so would do well with obedience training. Kobe is about 1.5 years old and weighs about 75 pounds.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
Meet Lucky! This incredibly handsome love bug was found super skinny and roaming the streets with burned paws. Some wonderful people took him in and got him to the vet to get treated. He’s now at our rescue and he’s the sweetest, least reactive dog ever. He did great meeting the front yard pack and had no reaction to being growled at. He's a little too much for small dogs and cats, but he'd love another medium/large dog to play with in his forever home. He’s a completely white pit bull with one mostly blue eye and one light brown eye. Lucky is about 1 year old and weighs 47 pounds, but he should put on 5-7 pounds. He’s so incredibly loving and sweet, he thinks everyone he meets is his best friend. He’s loving and smart—he already knows sit and is very respectful. Lucky really enjoys being with people. He’ll make an excellent 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.

Story
- Sweet girl, knows sit- Loves people and companionship - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for them (mature home recommended) - May prefer to be the only dog in their home- May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro recommended) - Tends to avoid other dogs (dog intro recommended) - The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Brown Weight: 45.5 Age: 1yrs 2mths 2wks

Story
- Very much a puppy who loves to play and be active - Already knows sit and is very food-motivated (he'll do almost anything for a little whipped cream); would love to learn more in classes - Can forget his mouth manners when he's bored or frustrated, so he's looking for a family who can give him plenty of toys, exercise and other appropriate outlets for his energy - Will be a great friend for an active person or family who has time to spend with him and train him so he can grow up to be the best dog he can be - To help set him up for success, adopters will receive 25% off ARL group classes and participation in our ModSquad program, which includes two free sessions with a private trainer/consultant - Likes children but can forget his size and manners at times; will do best in a more mature home right now - Has a rough-and-tumble, linebacker-like play style with other dogs, but when he finds the right dog friend they're a great outlet for his energy; would benefit from having a dog in his home who can match his play style while also respecting his boundaries (check out the video of him below playing with several like-minded dog friends!) - We can't decide which is cuter - his ears or his brows! The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 60 Age: 1yrs 11mths 1wks
