Story
Meet Hollis!Hollis is a 6-year-old, 18-pound scruffy terrier mix with a laid-back personality and a heart full of love. This adorable guy was found as a stray but hasn’t let that dim his sweet and calm nature.Hollis is wonderfully easygoing, gets along with all people, and is great with other dogs. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion to join your family, Hollis is ready to fill your home with love and loyalty!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 10, 2025, 11:11 am

Story
Meet Milo!!!  This special boy is a 4 1/2 year old, 11 lbs maltipoo.  He is the complete package.  This sweet boy is good with other dogs both big and small.  He is also good with cats.  Milo is an active little guy that has the best time running and playing with his foster brothers and sisters.  They all have the best time in their fenced in yard.  Milo really enjoys playing but he is also all about the most important thing--YOU!  Milo loves his foster mom.  If she sits down he is right there.  If she goes to the kitchen Milo is right behind her to see if he can help.  At bed time, you got it, trotting down the hall with you.  This great guy would be an excellent companion for a young single person or a great addition to a family with children 6 and older.  (to our knowledge he has not been around toddlers and we don't want to set him up for failure.)  Milo is so small that he could go everywhere with you that doggies are allowed even in the airplane on vacation!  This boy does not want to be left behind.  Milo is ready for a late new year celebration when he meets his forever family.  Hopefully that will be with you.  To be considered for Milo's frever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcaast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Milo is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)January 6, 2025, 2:04 pm

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.Look at this beautiful tiny Maltese, FIONA is 2 years old an 7 pounds and will not get any bigger unless she is on a steady diet of cheeseburgers and I am sure she would love that.  She will not get any bigger and you can take her with you wherever you go.  She is quiet and travels easy.  She rides in the car well loving to look out the window.  She also walks very well on a little leash. FIONA has been looking for a real forever home since he previous one only used her to breed babies.  Heck, she is a baby herself and I treat her like one.  She is not very needy, easy on a daily basis.  She loves to curl up and cuddle with you but she is independent and crate trained.  She is good with or without other dogs.  She gets along with everyone. If you are interested in adopting FIONA please submit an application on the website below.  Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org   ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED   Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.  Each dog comes  spay/neutered (fixed), rabies shots appropriate for their age, and dewormed twice.  The dogs are up to date on vaccinations according to their age at the time of adoption.  They are microchipped, heartworm tested and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative.  ALL OF THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTION FEE. We transport across the United States. Medical records will come with each dog at the time of adoption. Our organization is run by volunteers/foster parents, please be patient to give us time to respond to your emails and/or phone calls.  We will reply to you.  Thank you.         December 30, 2024, 1:31 pm
