Story
Meet Charlie!Charlie is an adorable, short and stocky little Chihuahua, about 10 years old and 15 pounds of pure sweetness. He came to us after his owner could no longer care for him, but he’s settling in beautifully.Charlie is house trained, well-behaved in a home, and has a friendly, laid-back personality. He loves people of all ages and gets along great with other dogs. (Cats, however, are not his cup of tea!)He takes daily supplements for an old injury that healed a bit imperfectly, but he’s otherwise a healthy, happy guy who’s ready for his next adventure.If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing companion, Charlie would love to meet you!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 Jax! Affectionately nicknamed Long Dog, he's a snuggly, well-behaved gentleman. He needs to be the only pet. He says that there's no need for another animal as he's perfection. Between his sweet personality and his curly tail, he will be the perfect addition to any home.All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm tested before adoption. We cannot guarantee that a dog will be good with children, dogs, or cats. A meet & greet will be required if you currently have a dog. To do this safely and effectively, your dog will need to be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations before approval of a dog adoption through Boone Area Humane Society.***Adoptions are by appointment only; please fill out an application, and someone will be in contact with you******All dogs are heartworm tested, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and have age-appropriate vaccinations.***All animals have been spayed/neutered, have been tested for heartworm/feline leukemia, have had age appropriate vaccinations, been dewormed, is on flea and parasite prevention and has been microchipped.

Story
Ada is a resilient 6-year-old sweetheart weighing just 8.5 pounds. Life hasn’t been easy for her—she was rescued from a struggling city shelter after ending up as a stray. Her skin tells the story of years spent battling fleas and a flea allergy, leaving her itchy and uncomfortable for far too long. But Ada’s brighter days are just ahead! She’s now receiving medicated baths and antibiotics, and her beautiful glow-up is right around the corner.Through it all, Ada has remained incredibly loving and sweet. She adores people, gets along with all dogs, and is so ready to leave her rough past behind and find a family to love her through the rest of her journey. If you’re looking for a truly special little soul, Ada is ready to meet you!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.
