Story
Oliver is a teeny tiny little dude. 6 yr old chihuahua. He’s very sweet but very shy at first. He takes a bit to warm up. He was most likely left in a dark cage in a barn his entire life so he’s just now learning humans are ok. He wants to trust and please, but is just unsure right now. He is learning in foster care though!! He is fine with other dogs. No young kids just because he is tiny and timid and they would probably stress him out worse. He is fostered in Sioux City.

Story
Arthur is a 9-year-old, 15-pound Chiweenie with the sweetest face and a tender heart. Surrendered to us when his owner could no longer care for him, Arthur is feeling very scared in the rescue environment, especially around men.This little guy needs a quiet, patient home where he can take the time to feel safe and loved. A foster home would be ideal to help him slowly come out of his shell and build trust.If you’re ready to provide Arthur with the understanding and compassion he needs, he’ll repay you with endless love once he feels secure. Could you be the one to help Arthur feel at home again?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.
