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.January 30, 2025, 12:04 pm

I weigh about 55 pounds, but I promise I’m all cuddles and calm vibes. I’m super chill and love nothing more than lounging outside in a fenced yard, watching the birds and squirrels do their thing. I’m not much of a barker, except when those pesky garbage trucks or emergency vehicle sirens pass by – gotta keep my humans safe, right? I’m a mellow guy who enjoys the simple pleasures in life: belly rubs, cuddling with my foster mom, and occasionally letting out a quiet woof when something surprises me. I’m potty trained, crate trained (though I don’t really need a crate since I’m so well-behaved), and I walk pretty well on a leash – though I’m still perfecting my leash manners. My favorite thing? Being outside to take in all the sights and sounds, or just chilling with my people.  I’m really hoping you have a fenced yard because being outside to watch things and enjoy all the smells is just the bestest thing ever!  I’m good with other dogs of all sizes, so I’m open to sharing my space with another dog if needed.  I’m a bit of a quiet guy who loves attention but doesn’t need to be the center of the party. I know some fun stuff too, isn’t that cool?  I know “sit”, “down”, “come” as well as a command for go outside.  Aren’t I smart?  I do love attention and belly rubs, but I also really love my peoples and keeping them company.  If you’re looking for a laid-back companion who’ll keep you company on the couch or the porch, I’m your boy! Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.    ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com> ADOPTION EVENTS:      Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up.

Welcome Athena to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 2-year Great Pyrenees. She weighs about 90 pounds. She has a beautiful coat and the typical extra back toes commonly found in this breed. This is a guardian breed dog. They naturally will protect their flock or family. This breed will do best in a fully fenced yard as they will roam away if there is no fence. She is good with other dogs and will need some more leash work. She would be great with someone that knows the breed and loves it. She should have the natural tendencies of this breed. She had puppies and we adopted them out. We also adopted out the larger male that was found with her as a stray. She would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. She is up on her vaccines, healthy, spayed and ready for her forever home. She is currently in Texas anc can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpal.info/ See her cute video!!

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Meet Dan, the world’s chillest 7-year-old mix who’s just here to live his best life (and maybe steal a few peanut butter jars along the way). Weighing in at a solid 66 lbs, Dan is a gentle giant with zero interest in fetch, but lots of love to give—especially if you’ve got a bully stick or a good belly rub handy. While other dogs might be out there playing tug-of-war, Dan prefers to sit back, relax, and keep an eye out for squirrels (he’s basically a professional squirrel spotter). He’s not into toys or playing with other dogs, but if you’re looking for a buddy to hang out with and just be a calm presence, he’s your guy. Dan is also a social butterfly in the best way—he’s great in public spaces like breweries and even at the office (yes, he’s totally the cool, laid-back coworker you’d love to have). He’s got the "sit" command down like a pro, walks nicely on a leash, and is excellent with kids and other dogs of all sizes. He’s a peaceful soul who’ll make a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a quiet, loyal sidekick. Oh, and did I mention? He barks at squirrels. Not to chase them—just to let them know he sees them. Dan’s just a guy with a lot of love, a knack for relaxation, and a serious squirrel-watching hobby. He is good with cats, dogs and kids.  He walks well on a leash and is just a great companion, especially if you’re into belly rubs!  If a gentle loving fella is what you’re looking for than look no further!    Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption.
