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.

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.
