Story
Meet Manilla!Hi there! My name is Manilla, and I’m a 1-year-old, 15-pound Chihuahua mix with a little bit of Pointer spirit (just wait until I see a deer!). I’m an energetic, playful girl who loves to run, so a home with a securely fenced backyard would make me so happy. When I’m not busy playing with my toys or zooming around, I like to work on my commands—I’m learning “sit,” “down,” and “stay.” My humans say I’m doing well but could use a little more practice. I’m also a pro at using pee-pee pads when I can’t get outside, and I hit the target every time! I’m crate-trained and sleep peacefully through the night, but I also love spending time out and about with my people. I don’t bark, though I might whimper softly when I’m trying to tell you something. I have the cutest little forehead wrinkles when I gaze lovingly at you (usually when you’re about to feed me). Speaking of food, I really enjoy mealtime—and giving sweet kisses afterward! I think I’d be great in a family with kids and would love to join an active household where I can play, run, and get all the love I have to give. If you’re ready for a smart, affectionate, and energetic companion, I’m your girl!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.

Story
Digby-boy! Sweet as honey, and as long as a weenie dog, with a longggg tail to match! This guy KNOWS how to use his puppy-dog eyes, and he utilizes them anytime he's gotten caught in some trouble, orrrr just being a little mischievous! Digby has that lovable, witty dachshundy personality that gets EVERYONE to fall in love, paired by his wiggle butt and wagging his tail; he's a heart melter. Digby gets along amazingly with other dogs, and he does a quality job of keeping the BIG dogs in line! We can't help but love him for it! We think Digby will do amazingly in most homes ready to keep up with all that comes along with a dachschundy mix! While he's definitely got the love for cuddles at only 2 years old, he's hitting that perfect age, too, where he starts to slow down, and enjoy just sitting out in the sun. If you can't tell already, Digby stole my heart. His personality, and adorability is just too great. Without mentioning, he's believed to be house-broken, since he keeps his kennel nice and clean, AND he knows his basic commands! Plus, who could resist that smolder?! Okay, okay, I'm done now, just come meet him, he's just too perfect!

Story
Buttons is looking for nothing more than patience, love, companionship, and cuddles. At about a year and a half old, this little guy has a surprisingly chill demeanor but definitely enjoys his bursts of energy with zoomies, jumps, runs, dances, and playful chases! At around 11 pounds, his antics are all fun and no hassle. Although Buttons is a bit shy with strangers at first, he always warms up and indulges in all the love they have to offer, reciprocating with plenty of sweet kisses! Once he feels at home and comfortable, his happy place is likely snuggled right next to someone he loves, napping under a blanket and feeling as content as can be. Buttons LOVES other dogs, especially those close to his size, ignores cats, and has done wonderfully with the kids volunteering at the shelter. This sweet boy already has some basic skills under his belt, paired with his irresistible puppy-dog eyes! We believe Buttons will thrive in just about any home willing to provide the time, patience, and understanding he needs to adjust. If you’re looking for a loving companion who’s equal parts chill and playful, Buttons might just be your perfect match!

Story
Little Danny, with the ADORABLE face that steal hearts, and big brown eyes that you can't help but adore. This sweet little boy is only about 7 months old, and 8 pounds, and while he may be small, his personality is BIG! As you may know, these guys are known for their sizable personalities and Danny is no different! Taking the world on in strides, fully prepared for adventures as such a little boy, yet more than willing to cuddle in the crook of just about ANYONE'S arms. Danny gets along well with all other dogs, kids, and cats! Making him a PERFECT fit for just about any home! Especially if you're willing to give him plenty of belly rubs and playtime, then Danny will have absolutely ZERO complaints. My favorite trait of Danny's is how he romps and runs with all the other dogs, he doesn't hesitate even with the bigger ones; and just quickly befriends them! If short little legs and a tiny kissable face make up your ideal pup, he is PERFECT. He's seriously the sweetest!
