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. 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 26, 2024, 2:52 pm

Story
- Happy boy who likes to interact but also loves doing his own thing and sniffing all the smells; will likely open up in a home environment once he's had time to decompress - Likes to say hi to everyone he meets and see if anyone is hiding treats anywhere! - Enjoys playing with toys and loves to have fun - Recently got to spend some time outside of the shelter with a human friend, who said he did great meeting new people and going in and out of pet-friendly stores; Dudley also did amazing in the car and on his leash! - Knows sit, shake, and down; will sit for treats without being asked- Loves to learn and has great focus, so would be a lot of fun to teach even more skills - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him, so he'll be most comfortable in a mature home - Can struggle to interact appropriately with other dogs and may not be interested in having other dog friends; needs to be the only dog in his new home 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.

Story
HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please email ARL-Adoption@arl-iowa.org.---- Happy, handsome, playful pup who loves his daily routines - Some of his favorite things are Nylabone antlers, hard rubber bones, walks in nice weather, and naps on the couch - Always happy to see his people and has the best wiggle-butt dance - At bedtime, likes to do some quiet chewing on his toys before snuggling right up against his foster family all night - often under the covers; he's the best snuggler and a sweet, loving boy! - Still a pup with a fair amount of energy, and loves discovering new things to smell and see on walks - Takes his job as the personal household paper shredder very seriously, so adopters will need to keep paper, cardboard or similar objects out of reach or monitor this guy when he's around them - Has been fully housetrained and crate-trained in his foster home; not the biggest fan of his crate but does OK - just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new schedule - Still learning about the world and sometimes needs reassurance in unfamiliar surroundings; initially wasn't a fan of car rides but his foster family said is beginning to enjoy them now and understand that they can take him to fun places! - While he enjoys being around kids, their quick movements and sudden loud noises can stress him out, so he'll do best in a home where any kids are older and more mature- Can become overly excited at times and forget his mouth manners when his world gets busy; his foster family said calm environments are ideal for him, and having him sit for treats is a great way to redirect him when he does get overstimulated - he's smart, eager to please and a quick learner, so engaging his brain is great! - Arrived with a previous injury to his leg and had FHO surgery at the ARL; has healed well and will even do some hilarious zoomies now but may still need to be watched for fatigue in that leg and may develop arthritis in the future (more info at ARL) - Really great boy whose personality shines when he feels safe and secure; will be a wonderful friend for a lucky family!

Story
- Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats - so would be a lot of fun to train - Shy pup who may need extra time to warm up to new people and things; will likely open up in a home environment with patience and time and may prefer a calm, quiet home- Looking for a teens-and-up home right now - 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) The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs.

Story
- Happy, gentle, curious dog who can be shy at first and may need time to warm up to new people and things; a quieter lifestyle might suit him best - Once he is comfortable with you he loves chest rubs and will lean into you or tap you for pets - Loves balls, especially tennis balls! - Enjoyed a Dog's Day Out field trip recently and did great in the car and on leash walks - Very treat-motivated, and food is a great way to bond with him - Knows sit, shake, down, stay and bed - he's very smart! - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him, but he has done well with calm teenagers; may be happiest in a more mature home - Previous family said he did very well with cats - 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 required) - Previous family said he was not a fan of loud noises, including loud stereo systems in cars, and that fast movements can also make him nervous The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs.

Story
Taking him to the shelter on april 27th. Took off a friend, but realized that taking care of 3 dogs is too much. Dog is 4 months old to my knowledge. Dog is super shy and timid at first, but is incredibly affectionate once he gets used to you. Comes with a free training cage.
