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, 11-pound Shih Tzu mix who's ready to become 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 would be wonderful, but Oreo would also be perfectly happy with 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 also 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

Dottie

Chihuahua

Female, 2 yrs
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
Dottie is a sweet, 2-year-old Chihuahua weighing just 9 pounds. She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, her loving personality shines through. This little Velcro pup wants nothing more than to be by your side—or even better, curled up in your lap! Dottie is doing great with her potty training and enjoys going outside. She walks nicely on a leash and loves keeping an eye out for squirrels during her strolls. While toys don't seem to interest her much, spending time with her people is her favorite pastime. Car rides can make Dottie a bit nervous, so she rides best when safely secured with a seat belt harness or in a crate. Because of her timid nature, Dottie would do best in a home with children age 10 and older who can respect her need to settle in at her own pace. Once she trusts you, you'll have a loyal, affectionate companion who will happily follow you wherever you go. If you're looking for a devoted little shadow to share your days with, Dottie may be the perfect match! Dottie is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, heart worm negative and on heart worm preventative, and microchipped. Dottie’s adoption fee is $375.00. Please go to our website aaprescue.org to learn about our adoption process.

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. Please go to our website aaprescue.org to learn about our adoption process.

Diamond

Westie, West Highland White Terrier

Female, 3 yrs
Bridgeton, MO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Diamond is a sweet 3-year-old West Highland Terrier (Westie) and a rescued breeder mama who is ready to spend the rest of her life being pampered, cherished, and loved. Like many breeder dogs, Diamond is timid around new people and unfamiliar situations. But beneath that cautious exterior is a gentle soul who wants love more than anything. Once she realizes she's safe, she quickly warms up and happily soaks up all the affection she can get. Diamond is a low-energy girl who is perfectly content to spend the day snoozing—as long as she's close to her favorite person. She hasn't quite figured out the joy of toys yet, but she's beginning to show interest as she continues to discover what it's like to simply be a dog. She's making progress with potty training and already understands that outside is the place to go. With patience, consistency, and a predictable routine, she should continue to do very well. Diamond is learning to live with other dogs in her foster home. While she doesn't always enjoy sharing her person's attention, she's beginning to understand that sharing doesn't mean there will be any less love for her. She hasn't been introduced to cats or children yet. Diamond has spent her life giving to others. Now it's her turn to be someone's beloved companion. If you're looking for a gentle, loyal little shadow who will reward your patience with endless devotion, Diamond may be the perfect addition to your family. Diamond is spayed. Had a dental, up to date on all vaccines, heart worm negative and on heart worm preventative, and microchipped. Diamond’s adoption fee is $400.00

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Female, 2 yrs
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
Paisley is a sweet, loving 2-year-old girl who's ready to find the forever family she's been dreaming of. Once she bonds with her people, she becomes the most devoted companion, happiest when she's by your side and included in everything you do. Whether you're relaxing at home or moving from room to room, Paisley will be your loyal little shadow. She's wonderful on a leash and is bell-trained to let you know when she needs to go outside. Paisley enjoys playing and getting her zoomies out, so she'd do best in a home with dogs of a similar size who can be her playmates. Because Paisley can be a little vocal when she's excited, a single-family home would be the best fit for her. Paisley is an incredibly well-mannered, affectionate, and loyal companion with so much love to give. All she's missing is a safe, loving home where she can share her big heart with a family of her own. If you're looking for a faithful best friend, Paisley is ready to meet you! Paisley is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, heart worm negative and on heart worm preventative, and microchipped. Paisley’s adoption fee is $375.00
