Story
Hi my name is Spartacus, I am 5 years old my birthday is May 30th. I have been with my humans since I was born. I have been with my 2 brothers and parents all my life. I also have been with 2 small humans who I am great being around and just want to lick and kiss them. I love getting rubbed on. I just recently moved from sunny California. I can be very energetic and play as well as I can just relax and be a great cuddle companion for you. I am looking for someone who can just love me and let me love them. My mom human has made sure that I am kid tested and I am not food aggressive either. I am good with other dogs although unsure with cats or other animals. I am fully vaccinated but not neutered or microchipped.

Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! For instance, I am a busy boy, I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Meet Lily!Lily is a stunning 3-year-old, 63-pound Akita mix with striking blue eyes and a heart full of love. Found as a stray, she was struggling to care for her own puppies and a few other newborns that had been left with her. Despite her tough start, Lily has shown nothing but sweetness and incredible maternal care.This gentle girl is wonderfully patient—she even allowed her temporary foster to give her a bath without any fuss! Lily knows how to walk on a leash and waits patiently for her walks to do her business, making her an easy companion.Lily is ready to leave her challenging past behind and find a forever home where she can be cherished for the amazing dog she is. Could Lily be the one for you?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 3, 2025, 9:37 pm

Story
Meet Arlo, a gentle beauty with a heart of gold! Arlo is a 3.5 year old neutered male Husky/German Shepherd mix who is the epitome of a love bug! With his sweet demeanor and affectionate nature, he'll capture your heart in no time. Despite his loving personality, Arlo does have Canine Compulsive Disorder (CCD), a common condition that's easily managed with medication (Fluoxetine aka Prozac - which he has been taking for over a year now, with great success). With the right treatment, he's able to live a happy, healthy life filled with snuggles, playtime, and endless love. But what really sets Arlo apart is his exceptional social skills! He's a natural with other dogs, playing and interacting with them in a gentle and respectful manner. And when it comes to kids, he's a patient and loving companion, always eager to please and gently playful. As for his favorite things, Arlo has a unique love for ice and water! He'll do just about anything for a cold cube or a refreshing splash. And, as a total affection junkie, he thrives on attention and affection from his people. We've learned to successfully manage Arlo's CCD by eliminating triggers such as toys and high-value treats when around other dogs. By being responsible and mindful of his needs, we've never had a single issue. With the right care and attention, Arlo is a happy, well-adjusted, and loving companion. If you're looking for a loyal companion who'll be by your side through thick and thin, Arlo is your perfect match. Apply to meet this special boy today! Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs.  We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted.  As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding! ##1478076##
