I’m having trouble finding a template that doesn’t strip an Adherer of their adhesive special ability. I’m not looking to make the creature stronger in their transition to undead.
Would anyone have a suggestion?
The Juju Zombie does not lose any abilities of the base creature, and is only CR +1 so it's not a huge power increase.
There are lots. Just flip through AoN's list of templates. I recommend Mummified Creature, (Advanced) Graveknight, or Zombie Lord. (Mummy Lord is possible if you can advance the creature to 8 HD first.)
Since (presumably) you're the GM, though, you could just make something up as well.

good suggestion, but fire resist 10 makes the Adherers one weakness a non issue, and I don't feel this is fair to my players.

Zombie lord seems to be the best, with Toughness evening out the HP loss, but I was hoping for unintellegent.
I may just homebrew it, making CHA decide heath, removing the need to breath, and adding positive energy sensitivity. I just wish there was a legal template I could use.

Mindless undead lose most of the abilities they had in life.
Also be mindful when using powerful mindless undead as boss battles, because there's a 2nd level spell that auto-wins against them.
Aware of both, truely I just want the pre pathfinder Adherer of old
The pre pathfinder adherer of old? They weren't undead back when they debuted in White Dwarf and then the 1e Fiend Folio.
