Story
Adrian is a smart, playful puppy who also loves to snuggle. He loves kids and he’s cautious, but curious with other dogs even 10 times his size. He’s such a sweetheart! Adrian is 4 lbs 10 oz at 9 weeks old.Mom was a purebred English Bulldog (owner kept her) and suspected dad is a border collie. Both parents are around 30-40 pounds (if dad is correct), but it’s tough to say exactly how big the puppies will get since they were neglected and malnourished before coming in.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.January 28, 2025, 5:55 am

Story
HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please email Kathryn at kvry@arl-iowa.org.---- Can be shy around new people and prefers to approach people at her pace and make friends as she feels comfortable; once she is your buddy, she likes being near you and giving kisses- Loves stuffies, tug ropes, plastic bottles, and treats- Enjoys going on walks and does well on a leash- Rides well in the car and will either look out the window or nap in the back seat - Values her personal space, and it's important to her to feel safe within her space, so quick approaches and feeling pressure to interact are not her cup of tea; positive reinforcement will be key to relationship-building and helping her feel comfortable - Knows sit, paw, speak and up - Looking for a teens-and-up home right now to set her up for success- Has lived with dogs and cats; prefers dogs who are respectful of her space and may enjoy a like-minded dog friend after a slow introduction (dog intro recommended) - May have allergies (more info at ARL) - 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: Tri Color Weight: 55.5 Age: 2yrs 2mths 0wks

Story
- Friendly guy who will greet you with a smile and a wagging tail; enjoys being petted- Loves to chase toys then happily pick them up and show them off to everyone - Did great on a recent Dog's Day Out field trip, and here's what his human companion had to say about him: "Choo Choo is very sweet and very gentle. He was respectful of me when I ate. He is really good on lead and with a few reminders not to pull, we had no issues. He likes stuffed toys, tug and fetch. He loves the car and is great at riding, but likes to be up front rather than in the back seat. He was wiggly and cuddly, and when we sat on the couch he wanted to be on my lap. He loves forehead kisses, butt rubs and big hugs."- Knows sit, shake, and maybe more and is very treat-motivated- Likes going on walks and does best with a harness - Has done well with like-minded dogs and may enjoy dog friends in his new home - May have allergies (more info at ARL)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.

Deebo

English Bulldog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Story
Meet your next favorite squish-face, Deebo! He is approximately 1 yr old, 35 lbs, and a French/English Bulldog mix. Deebo is kennel trained, pretty good with leash walking, and great with other dogs and cats! Potty-training is still a work in progress, but he does well when on a strict routine. While he does really well with a wild toddler in his foster home, it isn't his favorite and he'd prefer a home with kiddos 12+. He is a BIG snuggler who is generally pretty lowkey, but does have the occasional zoomies/times he wants to romp around and play. Deebo came to us with multiple skin infections but has improved greatly after medication and medicated baths. He will likely always have skin sensitivity issues. It is preferred that any potential adopters have experience with these breeds and are aware of common medical issues you may have to tackle throughout their life. Good thing they have amazing personalities! If interested in meeting Deebo please submit an adoption application on our website- www.foreverhomedogs.org. His adoption fee is $300.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.
