Meet Kima! ☀️Kima is a 3-year-old, 15-pound Chihuahua mix who was found as a stray and is learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. This sweet girl is still a little shy and skittish, especially with new people or sudden movements, but her personality is blossoming more each day.She loves being outside and knows the word “outside”—her little head tilt when you say it will melt your heart (if only she’d let us catch it on video!). She’s house trained and crate trained, and will go to the back door to let you know when she needs to go out. Her favorite pastime? Sunbathing in the yard.Kima is very attached to her person and loves to lay right next to you. She’ll even let you pick her up to help her onto the couch for snuggles. She’s doing great in her foster home and continues to build confidence every day, though she may bark at strangers (especially house visitors or workers), so she’ll need a patient adopter who understands her timid nature.She thrives with other dogs—especially calm, gentle companions—and will need another friendly pup in her forever home to help her feel safe and secure.If you’re looking for a sweet, quiet companion who just needs a little extra time and love, Kima might be your perfect match. 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.July 15, 2025, 5:16 am
