Story
- Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip and had a great time with his human companions: "Buddy enjoyed the car ride a lot! He really wanted to be in the front seat. Thankfully, he was clipped to the seatbelt, or he would have been on my lap in the front! He enjoyed the store as well. He didn't overly care for a pup cup, but loved loved going on walks and checking out all the smells! He did slow down in a hurry, although he did still keep up with us. He would be good for a slightly more active family." - Loves going on walks and does best with a harness- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for them (mature home recommended) - May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro recommended) - Has been diagnosed with 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 ageThe 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, and not breed label Primary Color: Fawn Brindle Weight: 55 Age: 7yrs 1mths 2wks

Story
- Loves people, activity, toys and being silly; likes to be at the center of whatever's going on - Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip and had a great time: "He rode calmly in the car with his head out the window and ran happily in our fenced yard while playing with a squeak toy. When he was inside, he just wanted to get pets or lay on the floor by someone." - Knows sit and has been learning a lot of new tricks here at the shelter; he's truly one of the smartest boys!- Will give you his undivided attention if he knows you have treats - they're his favorite thing - Loves going on walks and can pull hard when he gets excited, so he will do best with a harness- Tends to be socially awkward with other dogs (dog intro required) All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for ageThe ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs.

*Meet Reese!**Reese is a sweet 2.5-year-old, 66-pound terrier mix with the most beautiful light tan coat.

She’s good with other dogs and adores all people. Reese now has a second chance at life with our rescue, and we’re eager to help her find the forever home she deserves. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle, and sweet companion, Reese is the perfect fit!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 9, 2025, 10:17 pm
