Story
Meet Toro: A 5-Year-Old Dachshund-Chihuahua Mix Looking for His Forever Home! Toro is a little bundle of joy with a big personality. At 5 years old, this sweet and affectionate pup loves to show his love through snuggles and playful antics. He’s full of energy and enjoys his daily walks, chasing after his favorite ball, and chewing on toys that keep him entertained for hours. When he’s not playing, you can often find him soaking up the sun in cozy indoor spots—he truly loves basking in the warmth! Unfortunately, due to health issues in our household, we are heartbroken to make the difficult decision to rehome him. It’s been a tough choice, as we love him dearly, but we want what’s best for Toro, and we believe he deserves a loving home where he can thrive. Toro is a loyal companion who will bring so much joy, laughter, and warmth to any family. He’s great with people and would thrive in a home where he’s the center of attention.

Story
FosterPenny is a sweet and gentle lady. She is a ten year old, 15 pound dachshund mix. She came to Charming Pet Rescue after her human passed away. She arrived at the rescue with her two sisters, one brother, and two cats. She was quickly picked up by one of our foster families with her brother, Jack. Penny is still mourning the loss of her owner. She is gentle but is still not comfortable enough to come to her foster family when called. However, when the family sits on the couch to watch TV, she quickly jumps up and likes to sit next to you and her brother, Jack. She does allow you to pet her and rub her ears once she is comfortable next to you. She will also come to you if you offer her a treat and will eat it out of your hand. Penny will need time for you to gain her trust but she is making progress every day. Penny is house trained and has gone outside, but due to the stress of a new environment, she has had a few accidents in the home, usually on the pee pads. Penny sleeps well in her crate and gets along well with her brother and the two other dogs in the foster house. Penny has a cataract in her right eye but she seems to deal with it in stride and has no problem doing doggie things. She received dental work this week and is fully vetted.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.

So, back to my origin story, I had an unbelievable hernia out my back end that made my life hell...so the ladies git me to the rescue and 3 SURGERIES later, I am living a normal life 😀 I am a sweet boy, but having come from the situation i did, i am not a cuddle bug. I will hang out with you, just next to your chair. My life has come full circle and I am finally ready to find thst forever home who will love me until the end of time. I am waiting!!!
