Story
Parson is a 7-month-old, 14-pound scruffy Border Terrier mix with a whole lot of energy and an eagerness to please! His tail wags his whole body, and he’s always ready to play. While he’s not a cuddly lap dog (at least not yet), he’s affectionate in his own way and loves being around his people and dog friends.Parson is already learning some basics—he knows how to sit and is making great progress with crate training. He sleeps through the night in his crate with his goldendoodle foster sibling and can stay calmly in his crate alone for shorter periods. He’s also doing fantastic with potty training, going to the door or crying when he needs to go out—no accidents in the house!Parson gets along well with other dogs and especially loves his goldendoodle foster sibling, so he might do best in a home with a larger, laid-back dog to help show him the ropes. He’s still in the early stages of leash training but is learning.If you’re looking for a playful, happy pup who’s ready to learn and grow, Parson might just be your perfect match!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.
