Meet Rugger! He was found stray and was SO scared his first day at the rescue, but by the second day he was a completely different dog! He’s probably the happiest guy on the whole property! Rugger loves all people and dogs, and he’s full of an unmatched zest for life. He’s playful, gentle, and so lovable! He’s about 1 year old and only 32 pounds, so he’s smaller than he looks in person.

Story

Dragonfly is a 3-year-old, 45-pound bundle of resilience and joy. Just two months ago, he was found stumbling down the street, a heartbreaking picture of neglect. Severely emaciated, dehydrated, and unable to see, he was in desperate need of help. Thankfully, a kindhearted Good Samaritan brought him to our rescue on a Saturday, and that’s when his incredible journey began.Through hand-feeding, subcutaneous fluids, and lots of love, Dragonfly slowly started to recover. At first, he needed to be carried outside for potty breaks and back to bed to rest, but he never gave up. With the help of an amazing foster family, he gained weight, strength, and—amazingly—his eyesight!Today, Dragonfly is thriving. He loves running and playing with his doggie friends at the rescue, soaking up every ounce of joy that life has to offer. This sweet boy has endured so much, but his future is brighter than ever. He’s ready to leave his hard past behind and find a forever family who will love him as much as we do.**Could you be the happy ending to Dragonfly’s story?**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.

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rowena is a 9-10 year old lab mix (we did a DNA test and it came back lab/chow/golden retriever/pointer and several others) - about 60 lbs. She is house/kennel trained, and definitely wants to learn how to dog! She was found in 2019 living in a wood pile in Oklahoma protecting her puppies, so has some trauma there that needs worked through and a dedicated adopter will do so much for her. She needs a very structured living environment and a strong dog-savvy owner. She loves to be outside so would enjoy a nice physically fenced yard (no invisible fencing with her history, sorry). Privacy fencing will be preferred as she guards her territory. She will not do well in an apartment setting since she has a fear of strangers and needs muzzled on walks in strange places. She has been through heartworm treatment and will require an adopter who will keep her on preventatives and regular testing. She does well with dogs as long as they aren't tiny/can't be mistaken for squirrels or rabbits. She chases cats. She is food protective with other dogs, so will need to be fed separate / in kennel as a precaution. Once she is comfortable with you, she likes to snuggle and give kisses and hugs -- but it may take a few weeks for her to warm up fully. No kids for Roe -- fast movements and small creatures with her don't mix. Her adoption fee is $250. If you have an easy-going and patient lifestyle that will give this girl the structure she needs and are interested in meeting Rowena, please put an application in at www.foreverhomedogs.org and we will set up a meet with you!All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

- Very sweet boy who loves going on walks around the shelter - here's what a volunteer said about him recently: "I took Harvey on a walk today, and he did fantastic! He's a very handsome man. Super curious and definitely still has lots of energy despite being older! He's an absolute sweetheart!"- Was a super sweet guy when our staff dressed him up in reindeer antlers - he didn't mind one bit! - Knows sit, stay and lay down and was crate-trained- Previous family said he prefers a quiet environment - Does not have much tolerance for young children and really prefers that they leave him alone, so he's looking for a teens-and-up home right now- Had done well at dog parks/daycare in his previous home; may tend to avoid some other dogs if he's not feeling comfortable (dog intro recommended) - All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 62 Age: 7yrs 4mths 3wks

Story

Old Yeller, is that a new trend? Old stuff made NEW?? Cause I am NOT old, although I am Yeller, a really pretty YELLER COLOR!!! :) I am a Yeller Chesapeake bay retriever/ YELLER lab mix, it is important for my new family to know about the Chesapeake bay breed. We can be very stubborn, smart and independent and I really like to be in charge, so my new family needs to be strong leaders too. I am a handsome bloke, with swirls of yellow and white all through my coat. I am very smart and very sweet. I can from a high kill shelter with no hope- Now I EXUDE hope!! And LOVE!!! I WAS heartworm positive but have already finished the treatment and am NEGATIVE and just stay on prevention for the rest of my life. I am good with other dogs, but really would be best in an only dog home, cause I want all the attention :) I LOVE MY people and I tend to take "control" of my home so have to have a couple of things... 1) STRONG leadership owner, 2) I have to have an owner who will be wiling to not let me meet everyone who visits.. I want to protect my home a little too much... and 3) I have to stay in the San Antonio/TX area so my rescue friends can keep close tabs on me and how i am doing :) I have been running and playing since I am safe, but really am a couch potato. I am a bigger boy and about 65-70#. Look me up, get my number, text or call me OR just APPLY to ADOPT ME!!! I will be waiting by the phone!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)
