Story
Baby Bat embodies the personality, uniqueness and likeness of the Batman. First, he works alone. No sidekicks or partners. He prefers solitude and his space. Baby Bat has lived with his foster and her dog pack for 5 years, he gets along with them but tolerates them at most. He would do well in a home where he is the only dog, no children, and adults only. Next, Baby Bat is an apex predator. Which means he needs his sleep and food and not to be interrupted or coddled when given either. Baby Bat is not a lap or cuddly dog. Finally, did we mention Baby Bat is a Chihuahua mix? That's a really important detail! Baby Bat is a great and loyal dog seeking a great family to adopt him! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
This is Buddy, and he can't wait to be yours! Buddy is a sweet young Chihuahua mix that started life off as a feral, until he was caught by a sweet and loving foster. Buddy got the good life after that! Spoiled with treats and given so much love he's developed into a great dog. He's a very friendly boy and does great with pretty much everyone. He would do best in a household with an active family. Buddy does tend to bark at smaller animals so he would do best in a household that doesn't have farm animals or other small pets. Dogs and cats he is fine with, though he has not had much experience with cats. Buddy would do well paired with another calm and confident dog. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

Story
FosterClyde is a dental school drop out with a smile that will melt your heart. He is a super sweet, shy gentleman that will make a very loyal companion! He is quiet and loves his naps with a fuzzy blankie. Clyde mostly keeps to himself and loves a rawhide or bone to chew on and lots of belly rubs and scratchies! He is good with other dogs, house and crate trained and is approximately 6 years old and weighs 12 pounds. Clyde would do best in a quiet home without children.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
Odie is a sweet 9-year-old, 16-pound Chiweenie who is looking for a loving home after the passing of his owner. This gentle senior is house trained, affectionate, and gets along well with both dogs and cats. He has settled beautifully into his foster home but can be a bit grumpy with puppies—like a lovable old man telling them to “get off his lawn!”Odie would make an amazing companion for a senior, as he loves nothing more than snuggling on the sofa. He has a healthy appetite and wags his tail happily at mealtimes. Odie would thrive as either an only dog or in a home with other senior dogs. While he can sleep in a crate, he much prefers to cuddle up with his person in a cozy bed. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet companion who just wants to share love and cuddles, Odie is the perfect fit!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.
