Story
We saved momma from a bad situation in Hartford only to find out a month later she was pregnant. She gave birth to 6 beautiful pups and she did amazing. Jupiter has seen the vet and is fully health certified and has been de wormed. And she isn’t free.. we have spent a lot of time effort and vetting. Please talk to your significant other before applying we have had several people not do this and it only harms her finding her perfect fit. Thank you.

Story
If you’re looking for the happiest dog you’re ever going to meet, Sterling is the one for you! Don’t let his pictures fool you—this guy radiates joy and positive energy. He wants to meet everyone because he believes every stranger is one snuggle away from becoming another best friend!Sterling has stunning dark grey Weimaraner coloring with a Great Dane head and floppy lips combined with a lab’s happiness and size. He has such a gentle, loving temperament. He’s about 3 years old and underweight at 54 pounds—he’ll probably be 65-70 pounds once he’s filled out. This resilient stray wandered into his foster’s front yard on a freezing day, shivering until his soulful eyes melted our hearts.Sterling is potty trained, knows basic commands like “sit” and “down,” and gets along beautifully with his foster’s large female dog, small female dog, three cats, adults and kids. He did great meeting the whole pack at the rescue, too!Sterling adapts well when left on his own and has been taught good manners—no begging, no barking or any jumping on furniture. If you sit on the floor, he will plop right next to you, eager for your company. Sterling is ready to settle into his forever home. He’s an easily trainable, happy-go-lucky kinda guy, and he will become the loving 4-legged companion your family has been missing.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. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.February 28, 2025, 11:11 am

Story
Meet Ellie Ellie is a stunning 3-year-old Great Dane with a sleek gray and white coat and a personality as big as her 100-pound frame. This gentle giant is the perfect mix of beauty, charm, and goofiness. She loves snuggling up with her favorite humans, wrapping herself in blankets, and going for car rides where she can take in all the sights. Eli has been with other dogs and can get along. However we feel maybe a home where she gets ALL the attention is best . And given her size and energy, we think she would do best in a home with Great Dane or large dog experience. While she’s friendly and social, she doesn’t always realize just how big she is, so she needs someone who understands the needs of a giant breed and can give her the love, structure, and attention she deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a goofy streak, Ellie could be the perfect addition to your family! Ellie is spayed and has had a gastropexy . She is also a heartworm survivor! This girl is resilient and strong. To apply to adopt one of our dogs fill out our adoption application at this link: https://form.jotform.com/ChasingSunshine/Chasing-Sunshine-Adoption-App (Or copy/paste link into your browser) The Chasing Sunshine Dog Rescue adoption donation is $620.00.
