Story
Tango is a gentle 9-year-old terrier mix weighing just 12 pounds, with a heart that craves love and connection—on his own terms. He adores attention and affection and is happiest when his person sits nearby, talks to him, and showers him with gentle love. While he isn’t a lapdog, Tango enjoys being close and feeling included. Tango also appreciates his independence and likes having time to himself. He’s perfectly content relaxing quietly on his own, making him a great match for a calm household that respects his need for personal space. He enjoys life’s simple pleasures: going outside and laying in the sun, chewing on bully sticks and other chewies, and playing with toys—especially ones that make noise or have squeakers. Tango would enjoy regular walks and, as long as he’s walked frequently and monitored on a leash, he does not require a fenced yard. He should not be left unsupervised outside. Tango gets along well with other dogs, particularly those his own size, and would do well in a home with or without other dogs. He’s happy sharing space but doesn’t demand constant interaction. At night, Tango snuggles into his comfy doggie bed in his foster mom’s bedroom and sleeps quietly through the night. While other dogs may climb into the big bed, Tango prefers his own cozy spot—comforted simply by knowing his person is nearby. With his peaceful temperament, gentle affection, and independent streak, Tango would thrive in a quiet, loving home where companionship is balanced with respect for his space. If you’re looking for a sweet senior dog who offers calm devotion without being clingy, Tango is ready to find his forever home. Tango is neutered, up to date on all his vaccinations, is heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative. He’s had a dental, is microchipped and dewormed. Tango’s adoption fee is $300. Out of state adopters are responsible for arranging transport. WE DO NOT SHIP DOGS. If you're looking for a very sweet and lovable little guy to join your family, please fill out an application on AAP’s website.

Story
Looking for a little shadow with a big heart? Meet Oreo, a 3-year-old, 12-pound Shih Tzu mix who is ready to be someone's devoted best friend. Oreo is quiet, laid-back, and incredibly affectionate. He may need a little time to adjust to a new home and routine, but once he settles in, he’ll happily become part of the family. Whether you're relaxing on the couch, working around the house, or spending time with loved ones, Oreo simply wants to be included. He gets along well with other small dogs his size and enjoys their company. Oreo would thrive in a home where he’s involved in everyday family life with people who enjoy having their furry companion by their side. While he loves people, we're looking for a home without young children. A securely fenced yard is a must for Oreo, so he can feel very safe as he navigates his surroundings. Oreo would also enjoy regular leash walks. He is not a dog who should spend long hours in a crate. Having previously spent far too much time confined, Oreo is happiest when he’s with his people. He will need a patient family willing to help him continue learning a consistent potty routine, as he is adjusting to life outside of the crate. Oreo is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, had a dental, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on monthly heartworm prevention. Oreo’s adoption fee is $375. Out-of-state adopters are responsible for arranging transport. WE DO NOT SHIP DOGS. If you're searching for a loving little companion who will greet you with a wagging tail, curl up beside you every evening, and fill your home with unconditional love, Oreo may be the perfect addition to your family. Please go to our website aaprescue.org to learn about our adoption process.

Luna is a 9-year-old little lady who is the perfect combination of sweet, gentle, and easygoing.

Luna may take a little time to warm up, but with patience, kindness, and gentle encouragement, she soon feels safe and is ready to be your friend. She enjoys the company of people and other like-tempered dogs and loves being part of a group. Luna is discovering the joys of walks for the first time, and now she absolutely loves her daily strolls! She also enjoys spending time in the backyard, watching the world go by, so a secure, fenced-in backyard is important for her. More than anything, Luna wants to be part of your world.

Story
Hello! This is Aphrodite. I know her profile is a little old, but she is still available as of 10/13/26. I need to re-home her quickly! She is an absolute couch potato, loves sunbathing, and does well with kids. She is both potty and crate trained, and due to her age, is pretty low energy. She has bursts here and there, but it only lasts for a few minutes. She is not currently experiencing any medical needs. She does well with other animals, and would prefer, though not require, a slower paced home. She doesn't like thunder or fireworks, but she is an absolute snuggle bug! It would break my heart to give her to a shelter, so she is free to whoever promises to love her the way that I have.

Story
Meet Shia, a sweet 5- year- old Maltipoo. She is a world champion snuggler and is looking for someone who does not mind sharing their lap with her as she loves being close to her person. Shia is hard at work conquering the great outdoors and is currently learning to be confident when walking on a leash. As her leash skills are still developing, a secure fenced yard would be best for her so she has a safe place to explore at her leisure. Shia does wonderfully with a consistent potty schedule. She knows just when it's time to head outside for her business, earning enthusiastic praises like the good little lady she is. Shia would do well in a home with a laid back confident canine buddy to help her learn the routine. She is looking for a patient and loving home who will give her a little time to bloom and feel comfortable. We think she would do best with adults or families with older children. This sweet girl brings an endless amount of joy, warmth, and tail wags to everyone she meets! Shia is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, had a heart worm test, on heartworm preventative, de-wormed, had a dental, and microchipped. Shia’s adoption fee is $350.00. Please go to our website aaprescue.org to learn about our adoption process.
