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 Bunni! She's shy with new people, but warms up if you offer her some tasty treats. She's food driven and eager to please. Bunni also loves to give you a serene smile once she knows you're a good person (the kind who gives yummy treats). She's smart and knows to sit and wait for food, and to go in her kennel at night. She's also house trained. She enjoys being outside and playing with toys. She loves to play with other dogs, and she sleeps quietly in her kennel throughout the night. She's great with kids and other dogs. Bunni is about 1 year old and weighs 28 pounds.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.

Back to Our DogsGraceyGracey$200.00PricePay Adoption FeeAge: 10 yearsWeight: 55 poundsLocation: FosterHello! My name is Gracey and I’m a 10 year old black lab. I weigh in at about 55 pounds, and I’m 18” high to the hip, so a little on the short stack side. But I am so full of love, snuggles and the zest of life.You see after my folks passed away and I was very heartbroken, the rescue took me into their care. I have been receiving much needed TLC from my foster mom and dad. This has helped me adjust and know that I can find the love of my own family again! They tell me that I am doing very good! So, this is what I heard them saying: SHE LOVES HER PEOPLE—great with women, men, kids, She wants to be “your girl” no matter the activity: working in yard, running errands, watching TV—she sits beside you, on you (often thinks she is a small lap dog), or just be close. She’s super gentle and loving. Her eyes are incredibly soulful. They will melt your heart as she snuggles in with that look. “My STAR qualities”Listens and follows basic commands, comes when called, completely house trained and excellent house manners, gently accepts treats handed to her, ok with crating, doesn’t jump up on people, loves to go for slow walks and does well on a leash, rides well in the car and always ready to go. She likes the front seat so she won’t miss a thing, barks only to alert, sleeps all night on her doggie bed quietly, keeps the doggie door swinging as she loves to be outside on the patio sunbathing. “Things I’m working on”My girlish physique, daily walks & healthy diet, so I can remain a healthy senior. I am learning to share love and attention with my foster fur siblings. When I am around other fur babies my alpha traits come out, so I’d prefer a home of my own. I’m not really good at sharing the love and space. My foster family is helping me make good choices with boundaries. I am low to medium energy and it doesn’t take much to make my tail go crazy and my eyes sparkle. Are you ready to for me to join your family for my golden years? Go ahead, reach out and let’s meet!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.
