Story
Meet Duke!Duke is a charming 3-year-old, 12-pound Shipoo with a playful and loving personality. He was surrendered to us because his previous owner no longer had time for him, but he’s ready to find his forever family!Duke is friendly, affectionate, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. We believe he’s house trained, making him a breeze to welcome into your home. This sweet little guy adores people and is sure to bring lots of joy and cuddles to his new family.Could Duke be the perfect addition to your life?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.December 17, 2024, 5:29 am

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.HAZEL says 'HI' and she would love to have a home of her own to love and care for her.  She loves to get her head rubbed and just hang out with her human to be close.  She is a great cuddler and just loves to hang around you.   At 3 years old and 12 pounds she makes a great companion for any family that is willing to let her hang out with you and just give her the love and attention she so deserves. HAZEL and her son were owner surrendered to me by a backyard breeder who only had the dogs in her home to make money.  Surprisingly HAZEL has a great, quiet and mild temperament with no aggression in any area.  When I put her out to potty I have to make sure to leave her out a while because she tries to get right back in to follow me around the house. If you are interested in adopting HAZEL, please submit an application on the website below.  Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org     ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED   Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.  Each dog comes  spay/neutered (fixed), rabies shots appropriate for their age, and dewormed twice.  The dogs are up to date on vaccinations according to their age at the time of adoption.  They are microchipped, heartworm tested and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative.  ALL OF THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTION FEE.

Story
Casey is ready to find a fabulous forever family! He's a senior shih tzu, about 11 years old, who came to AATDR from the Deep River case in CT. He is an absolute sweetie! So get in line and fill out your applications 🙂 https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved Casey loves people and gets on well with other small dogs. We've never seen him with a cat but he would probably be fine - a meet and greet would tell us for sure. He'll do best in a quiet home with adults or older children. As a senior, he deserves to be able to just relax and enjoy his retirement. He'd love a canine companion who is a bit laid back. He does have some visual impairment but it doesn't get in his way at all. He needs eye drops daily, which are easy to give and inexpensive. He will have his neuter surgery on 6/10/24. . Let's show Casey just how wonderful life can be with a loving forever family, and that his present and future can be WAY better than his past! He's such a wonderful, deserving dog!

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.OMAR is listed as yellow but he is really blonde.  He is 5 years old and 17 pounds and cries/whines loudly to go potty.  He gets along with all of the foster dogs in my home and of course he is partial to the females as his play partners!  Yes, they are all fixed but he just likes the girls. OMAR walks well on a leash and rides in the car without getting sick.  He enjoys hanging with his humans and chewing on his bully sticks.  He is also crate trained but it is hard to leave him in a crate when I am home because he has a fit wanting to get out.  He likes toys and runs zoomies in the yard with the other dogs. If you are interested in adopting OMAR, please submit an application on the website below.  Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org     ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED   Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.  Each dog comes  spay/neutered (fixed), rabies shots appropriate for their age, and dewormed twice.  The dogs are up to date on vaccinations according to their age at the time of adoption.  They are microchipped, heartworm tested and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative.  ALL OF THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTION FEE.
