Story
Meet Runner! This sweet girl got her name from following her finder home on a run! She probably knew she’d found someone who would help her. She’s a little nervous, but it’s only her first day at the rescue. Her finder had her for a month and fully house trained her, and she knows her manners. Runner is about 2 years old and weighs 42 pounds. She looks like a Black Mouth Cur mix, but she has a fluffy tail and some interesting coloring on her legs. She walks well on a leash, and is learning that the world is a fun place to explore when you have a safe, warm home and regular food every day! She’s good with other dogs and people, and would love to keep building her confidence. We’ll update as we learn more about her!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
Hi there, I’m Frankie! After a wild life on the streets of San Antonio and raising my last litter of pups under a house (yes, I'm quite the adventurer), I’m ready to hang up my mothering duties and retire in style. I had a close call in a high-kill shelter in San Antonio where my pups got adopted. Thankfully, I was saved just in the nick of time from euthanasia the night before by my foster mom. I’m about 6 years old and I’m just about knee high and 40 pounds.I’m on the lookout for a special human—someone who can shower me with attention, love, and be my ultimate bestie. I dream of a chill and gentle home where I can truly shine. Sure, I might be a bit shy at first, but once I warm up, I’m all tail wags and happy vibes.I come with some impressive skills: I’m potty trained, crate trained, and I’m even learning to heel and walk on a leash like a pro. I’m picking up good manners too, like sitting before meals and waiting politely to go outside.I’m the perfect couch companion and happy to relax at your feet for hours without making a peep or sunbathing while you garden. I'm not much of a barker and toys are still a mystery to me. Adopt me, and let’s make each other’s lives complete!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.
