My story

Meet Katniss – Your Gentle, Easygoing Best FriendKatniss is a calm and loving 3-year-old with a heart as big as her 50-pound frame. She may share a name with a famous heroine, but her style is more couch potato than action hero – the only arena she wants to conquer is your sofa!With her low energy level, Katniss is the definition of an easygoing companion. She’s apartment-friendly, perfectly content with leisurely walks and plenty of relaxation. Whether it’s a sunny afternoon or a chilly morning, she enjoys being outside but is happiest when she’s home with her people.Katniss is a sweet Gentle Giant, great with kids over 7, wonderful with seniors, and gets along with dogs big and small. She has an independent streak, so she’s confident on her own but always happy to lean in for affection.Training is a breeze – she’s kibble and treat motivated, smart, and eager to please. Even if you’re a first-time dog owner, Katniss will make you feel like a pro.If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate pup to share slow mornings and cozy evenings, Katniss is ready to fill your life with gentle companionship.Apply to adopt Katniss at: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adopt/new-dog-adoption-application Come meet Katniss and let her show you how sweet life can be with a loyal friend by your side!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, 6:24 am

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Katniss, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
