Story
Meet Pearl 🤍 (aka the crusty queen with opinions 💅) Pearl is 3.5 years old, 6lbs, and came to us back in September with 12 other dogs. She’s officially retired from her past life as a “milk dog” mama — done raising babies and finally ready to live life on her terms now. And trust us… she has terms 😂 This girl has come SUCH a long way with socialization, but she’s still very much an independent lady. If you’re looking for a cuddle bug… Pearl said “respectfully, no.” BUT if you’re looking for a bestie who will absolutely smother you in kisses and demand head scratches and has the cutest little wiggle?? She’s your girl 💕 Her favorite hobbies include: 🎾 Throwing her toys for herself (yes, really) 🛋️ Perching on the back of the couch like a tiny gargoyle 💋 Handing out unsolicited kisses 🕺Wiggling when she hears someone say “Pearly girly” Pearl is crate trained and potty trained, though she may need a little refresher in a new home. She thrives on routine — once she learns it, she sticks to it like a pro. ✨ Requirements for Miss Pearl ✨ 🏡 Must own your home 🌳 Fenced-in yard required 🐶 Prefer to be the only dog OR have a very submissive dog sibling (she’s got a little attitude and not everyone appreciates her spice 🌶️) 💋 Must love kisses 🚫 No cuddling expectations She’s still not a fan of being reached for and may need to be leashed or gently led outside, but with patience and consistency, she does great. She has never showed any aggression to people, she just doesn’t fully grasp she’s safe right away. Pearl isn’t for everyone — but for the right person, she’s hilarious, quirky, and so full of personality. If you love a dog with boundaries and a whole lot of sass, Pearl is waiting for you 🤍 Apply here to meet Miss Pearly: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LKR/Dog

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

Story
Meet Endora – A Gentle Girl with a Love for Soft Things 📍 Located in Troy, MO 💻 Applications at leiashope.org Endora is a little lady learning what it's like to live in freedom after spending her early life in a puppy mill. She’s shy at first, but once she warms up, she politely asks for affection and enjoys quiet companionship. Her foster has established a mealtime routine that works perfectly for her—when she hears the call, Endora happily runs upstairs to the bedroom where her bowl is placed just inside the door. This quiet, uninterrupted space is where she feels most comfortable eating. She has a healthy appetite, is a good eater, and is currently on Adult Fromm which she eats twice a day. Endora is a big fan of soft comforts—she loves her open-door kennel filled with fluffy blankets and can often be found lounging in cozy dog beds. After spending her early life on a hard kennel floor, she’s finally learning what comfort feels like. She gets along well with other dogs and is watching them closely to learn how to play and enjoy toys. With a little more time and encouragement, she’ll be joining in on the fun! 📝 Requirements: Secure physical fenced yard Another young, confident dog in the home No children under 12 Mill dogs like Endora are under-socialized and easily startled by things we take for granted—leashes, television sounds, garbage trucks, kitchen appliances, etc. She will need a patient and understanding home willing to help her continue adjusting at her own pace. 🐾 Endora is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccinations, and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention. 💲 Adoption fee: $400 📍 Located in Troy, MO 💻 Applications at leiashope.org Please Note: Leia’s Hope is a volunteer-run rescue. Application processing takes 7–10 business days depending on our availability and your references. All dogs are in foster homes—there is no central facility. Meet and greets are scheduled only after an approved application. We do not ship or transport. Adopters must travel to the dog’s location, and all family members and current pets must be present. Dogs are a lifetime commitment. Puppies, in particular, may live 15+ years. If you're not prepared to commit to that, please do not apply. Puppies under 9 months must go to a home where someone is frequently home, can provide proper training and socialization, and keep up with their energy and needs.
