Tango

Chihuahua Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Male, 9 yrs 2 mos
Bridgeton, MO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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.

Patti

Shih Tzu

Female, 5 yrs 2 mos
Bridgeton, MO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Patti is a 5-year-old Shih Tzu with a sweet but shy personality who will need time and patience to warm up. She came from a puppy mill and is just beginning to learn what life in a loving home is all about. Patti is not a snuggly lap girl but is very content to be close by her people getting pets and scratches on her terms. Patti has done well with her potty skills as long as she has a consistent routine. She walks fairly well on a leash and enjoys going out for short strolls around the neighborhood. Patti will need a calm adult only home with people who are gentle and allow her to move at her own pace. Another confident dog in the home to help her learn the ropes of “dogging” would be best for her. Patti loves to explore and sunbath in the great outdoors and will require a secure fenced yard so she can do this safely. With time, love, and understanding, Patti has all the potential to become a loyal and loving companion. Patti is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, had a dental, heart worm negative and on heartworm preventative, de-wormed, and microchipped. Patti’s adoption fee is $350.00.

Sadie

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier Chihuahua

Female, 5 yrs 3 mos
Bridgeton, MO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sadie is an adorable 5 year old yorkie mix. She was rescued from a hording house that held 40 other dogs and she never had an opportunity to learn how to dog. Meals were never regularly provided, there were no opportunities to learn about potty training, and there was NO socialization. She was left to fend for herself. As such, Sadie tends to be reactive when uncomfortable and needs a very special home. Sadie needs a quiet home with a dog savvy female owner. She will do best as an only dog. Sadie will bond with her person, but she needs some time to learn to trust. We have found that she needs about a week to adjust to a new person. When she is comfortable, Sadie is an absolute doll and is completely devoted to her person. She has a darling personality and gives the best kisses. While Sadie can walk on a leash she will not potty while walking. Therefore, she is looking for a home with a secure fenced yard. Sadie has the potential to be a wonderful companion and we are hopeful that her perfect home is out there. Sadie is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, heart worm negative and on heartworm preventative, had a dental, and microchipped. Sadie’s adoption fee is $350.00.

Zoey

Shih Tzu Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Female, 5 yrs 2 mos
Bridgeton, MO
Size

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Zoey is a 5-year-old Shih-Tzu/Terrier mix. She is a social and sweet little girl. Zoey loves attention and seems to like the company of everyone. A house with adults and/or dog savvy kids ages eight and up would be fine for her. Zoey does well with other dogs and enjoys a game of chase with them in the yard, but does not like rough and tumble play. She also seems to do well with confident cats. She would probably not do well with smaller critters (guinea pigs, birds) as she wants to chase them. Zoey walks well on a leash and her potty training is going very well. She has some very endearing traits including smiling when she is happy and when she wants attention (seriously… she smiles) and she will watch the television and is very curious when she hears/sees a dog on the TV. Zoey is a little energetic during car rides (wanting to look out ALL the car windows) so a safety harness or crate would be best during car travel. She can be a bit vocal so apartment life would probably not be a good fit for her. A home with a fenced yard is preferred. Zoey is spayed, had a dental, up to date on all vaccines, heart worm negative and on heart worm preventative, and microchipped. Zoey’s adoption fee is $350.00

Shia

Poodle (Miniature) Maltese

Female, 5 yrs 2 mos
Bridgeton, MO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Shia is a beautiful 5-year-old Maltipoo who is finally getting the chance to discover what life as a beloved pet should be. Before coming to All About Paws, Shia lived in a breeding environment and even had her last litter while in rescue care. Now that her puppies are grown, it’s finally her turn to be spoiled, loved, and learn how to simply be a dog. Shia is a very loving little girl who adores her humans and happily hands out plenty of sweet kisses. She loves cuddling up on laps and sleeping in bed close to her person. While she can have a playful, high-energy side, she also enjoys relaxing and lounging with her family after she gets her wiggles out. She is still learning many things about the world around her. Shia does okay walking on a leash, but she continues to build confidence with practice and patience. Car rides are especially scary for her right now. Her foster mom has been gently working with her to help her feel more comfortable, but this will be something her future family will need to continue helping her with over time. Shia is currently potty pad trained, and her foster mom is working on outdoor potty training — although Shia can be a little stubborn about changing her routine. Consistency and encouragement will go a long way as she continues adjusting to her new life. Her ideal home would include another friendly dog to help guide her, play with her, and give her companionship. Because she loves to run and jump, a securely fenced yard would be perfect for her to safely burn off energy and enjoy herself. Shia is looking for a patient, loving family that will continue helping her grow in confidence while giving her the affection she’s missed for so many years. In return, she’ll provide endless cuddles, kisses, and loyal companionship. 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.

Story
Sophie is a sweet and gentle 5-year-old girl who is looking for a quiet, patient home where she can feel safe and loved. She is very shy at first and takes time to come out of her shell, but once she trusts you, all she wants is to be close to her person—whether that’s sitting quietly beside you during the day or curled up next to you at night. Sophie would do best in a calm, laid-back home with someone who understands that building trust takes patience and consistency. She is nervous around men and will need a family willing to move at her pace and let her adjust slowly. Because of her timid nature, a home without children is required. She is learning how to play with toys and is starting to discover how fun being a dog can be. Sophie walks okay on a leash, rides wonderfully in the car when safely seat belted in, and is doing great with pottying outside. She does not enjoy being in a crate, so a home where crating is kept to a minimum would be ideal. Sophie needs a securely fenced yard where she can safely explore and feel comfortable. She would be happy either as an only dog or with a calm canine companion. This precious little girl is searching for someone with a kind heart and gentle approach who will give her the love and security she deserves. Sadie is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, heart worm negative and on heartworm preventative, had a dental, and microchipped. Sadie’s adoption fee is $350.00.
