Story

Hello, my name is Kyra! I’m an 8 year old Great Dane weighing about 100 pounds. I know I’m a little older, but don’t let that fool you, I’m full of energy, healthy, and love to go on walks. I’m very friendly with everyone, cats, kids, dogs, and even a pig! I know sit, speak, shake, and stay. I walk great on a leash. I am fully potty trained and will tell you when I need to go. I prefer to have my own space when I eat, and I don't like sharing my kennel as it's my safe space. Overall I'm the best girl though and I’d love a home and family to spend the rest of my golden years with.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.August 18, 2024, 5:26 am

Story

Welcome Jinx to CCPAL Rescue. Jinx is a 2 year old Great Dan mix. He is tall and lanky like the great Dane and has the shy quality. He is a good weight and he is good with other dogs. He has lived with a large female and male in his home. He does know sit and is good on leash. We assume he is potty trained as he had an older man owner. His owner is in hospice care and is not doing well. A good Samaritan stepped up and helped them. She asked CCPAL to take them in and help them find a new forever home. He settles down nice and likes to lean in to his person. He would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. We would love someone familiar with the Dane personality or someone who has had a large breed dog before. He would be a great man dog. He takes direction well and bonds deeply very quickly. He naturally likes men as he lived his life with one. He would be content being the only dog or being with another dog. He is not the dominant one of the 3 pack. He is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is 400 and transport is 200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Story

Hi! I'm Louis. I bet you are already wondering if I'm deaf and vision impaired due to my beautiful white coat. I am - but I don't know that. I'm a 1 year old neutered male. Currently in my foster home, I am living with 3 female Danes and 2 teenage human kids. It's great here - I love playing with the other dogs and the kids are pretty great too. My foster mom and dad are teaching me new things. I'm learning but still have a hard time avoiding that stuff they call human food on the counter. I am house trained and am working on kennel training. My foster mom says I would do well with someone who is home more often than not. I'm not a candidate for someone living in an apartment or townhouse as I make a lot of noise in my kennel. If the humans leave, I have to go to my kennel to make sure I'm safe and don't get into anything i shouldn't. I sleep on a dog bed at night but I would really love to snuggle with you and sleep in your bed. A fenced yard for me would be fantastic too so I stay safe. My foster mom says that if she already didn't have too many dogs she would keep me forever. Come meet me - I know you'll want to take me home. ##1793686##

Story

Hey there, I am Gordy aka Gordon (when I’m not listening) and Gordito Crunch (when my foster mama is playing with me)! I am an almost 3 year old Great Dane/Great Pyrenees mix. That just means I’m extra great of course! I have the Great Dane height and body but a Great Pyrenees head with the Pyrenees shedding. I was originally surrendered as a puppy due to having special back legs. I was adopted to a wonderful family but recently was surrendered back to rescue because I can be a strong personality. I get that from the Great Pyrenees side. I love hard and love attention from my humans but don’t enjoy people I don’t know initially. I take my job of guarding the home seriously and need my humans to communicate and prove to me that they can control and protect the house so I don’t have to worry about it. I recently spent a month with a really nice lady who taught me really fun things like walking well on leash, a strong place command, heel, come and all of the other skills I need to be a well mannered boy. I really love to play with toys and other dog friends as long as they are not dominant. I’m a total goofball but have shown resource guarding over food with other dogs. I prefer to eat my food and bones in my kennel. I really love my kennel. I sleep there at night and when my foster parents are gone. I will counter surf if left unattended. Remember how I was surrendered as a puppy due to having special legs? Well, I still have special back legs. I was born with slightly twisted femurs so I walk a bit differently and have arthritis in my back knees. I love to run and play but can be sore after playing all day long so I occasionally take gabapentin to help. I also require daily joint supplements to help my bones stay healthy. I currently take anxiety meds daily. I have been on these since I was young to help with my desire to protect the home. These meds cost about $90 for a 90 day supply so any future adopter needs to be able to continue to pay for regular medications. Foster Mama Here: Gordy is the bestest boy. We fostered him when he was a puppy as well. We do not let him greet visitors at our house and require him to stay on his bed in a “place” while visitors are here. He is also happy to stay in his kennel. He does like to meet people slowly and at a good pace. Once he knows and trusts you he will forever welcome you as a family member of his. Gordy has so much potential and loves so hard. But he will require owners who can set strict boundaries in the home and hold him accountable. His breed and genetics make him want to protect his home and people but if you a set boundaries he is such a great listener. We walk him on a prong collar and he is eCollar trained. His adopters will need to commit to continued use of these training tools and also meeting with his board and train trainer to learn about everything he knows. Gordy loves the snow and playing outside. His favorite is his doggy pool in the summer. We have 4 other dogs in our home and he plays with all of them. Gordy lived with kids in his first home. He was very protective over them so we do not recommend he go to a home with children under the age of 12. He has been thriving with a farm life and would do best outside of the city. ##954057##

Story

Hi, I'm Cinder! I'm a tall 1.5 year old Great Dane! My foster mom says that I'm a really good puppy. I think she means that I'm really easy going and not always full of the devil for my age. She also tells me all the time that I'm a very good girl. I'm friendly with everybody and I'm always happy. I can be talkative at times but I'm not sassy. I am perfectly potty trained. I sleep on my dog bed but really would prefer to cuddle with my people in bed. I am currently living with 2 special needs female Danes, 2 kiddos 11 & 15, and my foster mom and dad. I have a medical condition called mega esophagus. It's really not too bad and my foster mom is helping me manage it. I take some medication for it, she soaks my kibble in water, feeds me from a raised feeders, and she even makes me treats made from jello because I can't tolerate crunchy treats. I probably won't grow out of this condition but I don't think it will get any worse. I would like a friend to play with in my new home and maybe even a kiddo or two. I like to play fetch, tug of war, and rough and tumble with one of the dogs here. Come meet me and I know you'll just want to take me home! ##1459688##

Story

Hi there! I'm Loki! I'm almost 4 years old and I'm the goofiest, most fun, totally wild, Great Dane! I was the jumper, and I'm a big boy, so they sent me off to training. I still like to jump up at my foster mama but she reminds me that she's the boss and I gotta keep "4 on the floor". I just want to show her how much I lover her is all. I love playing with other dogs, and I really love affection from my humans. I'd prefer a fenced in yard to run in, and maybe an active home to keep my busy body moving! I do need a calmer home though, I'm a total scardy cat when it comes to new things. OMG I saw my foster mom picking shows on her smart tv and boy that was scary, all of those boxes suddenly just move. I told her to just pick a show already. Because of my jumpy nature and skiddish demeanor, I need a home with no kiddos. In fact, kiddos are one of the reasons I'm here. The kids in my old home were wrestling, and I wasn't about that, so I got in the middle of it to protect my human brother and snipped at a kiddo. I'd like to say "i'll never do that again", but the crew around here puts in all the extra caution. I am crate trained, AND completed a full board and train program so I know my commands, what is expected of me, can handle the vet if you guide me, and am a perfect walker. They also say I don't bark much! I think I'd like a dog friend, big or small-- the smaller ones just have to watch out, I have big feet. Do you have room for a big goofball like me? Do you have space to give me continued guidance and structure? Apply today and let my forever home, be yours! ##2095175##

Story

This gal and her siblings were found in the woods. They are a sweet group of pups who will grow into wonderful dogs. Being part Anatolian Shepherd (we think) means they need some room to roam. They are typically laid back with wonderful personalities that get along with just about anything. They just need something to do. So lots of activity, walks and/or a farm. We just want these babies to find a great home with families who will love them and take care of their needs. Indy is a friendly girl who likes everybody! She is always happy to see people, likes to play with the other puppies. She will need all the training that puppies need but will learn fast. Routines help a lot. We know the right family is out there for these babies. She is fostered in TN but we use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport.
