Location: O’Fallon, MO

Meet Millie! She's an adorable two-year-old Terrier Mix looking for her forever family. Her mom had to move to a nursing home, so Millie is ready to find a loving new home where she can be a happy and loyal companion. She loves going for car rides and always has a cheerful, friendly attitude. Millie is house and leash trained, and she gets along really well with other dogs, though we're not sure about cats or little kids yet. For families with children, we recommend kids aged 12 and up.

Millie is spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, heartworm negative, and on her monthly preventative. She is 17 pounds. Millie is eager to find a caring home where she can share love and joy!

UPDATE: Adopted!!!

Located in Indianapolis, IN

Introducing little Miss Greta.
Greta is 4 years old and weighs 11 pounds
She was spayed and had a dental on June 2
All vaccines: Rabies, Distember, DHPP, Leptospirosis are up to date
Heartworm negative and taking monthly preventive
Microchipped

Greta is a sweet, retired puppy mill mama who’s learning what it means to be loved. After years of raising puppies, it’s finally her turn to be someone’s cherished companion. Once she feels safe, she opens up and soaks in every bit of affection.

She’s quickly learning that belly rubs, soft voices, and kind hands are wonderful things and she’s eager for more. Greta would do especially well in a calm home with children old enough (12+) to be gentle and respectful. She loves having each family member take turns showing her love. It helps her trust, bond, and feel like part of the pack. She would benefit from having another dog in the home to teach her all about being a dog and what it's like to be loved by humans.

If you’re looking for a quiet, loyal pup who just wants to be near her people and is blossoming into her best self, Greta might be the one for you.

UPDATE! Adopted!!!!!

Meet Tito and Quincy! These adorable and sturdy boys are looking for a warm foster home or even a foster-to-adopt family by the end of the week. They arrived at the rescue on Thursday, and since then, they’ve been spoiled with a full grooming, all their vaccines, and lots of playtime with other dogs in their temporary foster home. They are getting along great with the other 4 schnauzers in their foster home.

Tito is a sweet 5-year-old white miniature schnauzer, and Quincy is a charming black and silver miniature schnauzer who’s around 6 years old. They are bonded and will need to be adopted together.

In just a short time with Almost Home Schnauzer Rescue, Tito and Quincy have shown they are inseparable. They’re so affectionate—Tito loves curling up on your lap—and they both enjoy running and playing in the backyard with other dogs.

They’ve only walked once on a leash for their vaccinations and need more time to develop those skills, so a fence might be preferable. They are good little crate users when asked. They’re a bit nervous, which is totally understandable given that everything’s been shaken up for them, so they’re showing a little separation anxiety. They’re used to going outside to potty and are familiar with a doggie door, but their foster family can share more details as they settle in.

Would you like to open your heart and home to these two lovable buddies?

ADOPTED!!!!

5/27/2025 Edit: WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
Thank you all for the overwhelming response to adopt Thelma! All those who have applied at this time should have received an email stating that their application has been received.

Location: Indianapolis, Indiana
Meet Thelma! She’s a sweet little 2 yr old, wire-haired dachshund overflowing with love, and she’s just waiting to share it all with you. She’ll gaze at you with those loving eyes until you can’t resist giving her some pets. Thelma isn’t just happy to be near you—you’ll find her right by your side, whether you're making coffee, doing laundry, or strolling through the house. She’s your tiny, devoted shadow, ready to be your constant companion.

Right now, she’s in a cozy foster home where she’s learning that life is good and people are trustworthy. She might be a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, her loyalty is unwavering. Thelma is affectionate, gentle, and just loves to feel like part of the family. She gets along well with other dogs, enjoys peaceful company, and is picking up good manners around the house.

Her perfect forever home would be with someone who has experience with dachshunds and understands their special needs, especially when it comes to spinal health. To keep her happy and healthy, she needs a home that’s mindful about jumping—think ramps to furniture, blocking stairs, and lots of gentle care. Prevention is key, and she’s totally worth it! Thelma is spayed, microchipped, house-trained, crate-trained, and walks nicely on a leash.

If you’re looking for a cuddly buddy, a sidekick, or a little love sponge who’s happiest when she’s with her person, Thelma is ready to be your girl!

Location: Indianapolis, Indiana (AHSR does not provide transport.)
If you’re interested in bringing Thelma into your family, please fill out an adoption application at ahsr.ngo/application. ***Please be sure to read the application page fully before applying.***
