Meet Bonnie — the Brave Girl with a Big Heart Bonnie’s come so far from her rough beginnings as a stray mama. She’s healthy, happy, and finally ready to find the forever home she’s been waiting for.

She can guard her favorite things like treats, toys, or even affection, so she’ll do best in a dog-savvy, structured home with older kids or adults.

Story
    Hello, my name is Linky West! I'm an 8 year old, 15 pound, rat terrier mix. I'm a spunky and sweet girl who is a bit shy and unsure at first, but I warm up eventually, especially if you have treats. I'm spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, healthy, and ready to find my new home!   I had a loving person, but sadly they passed away. I was left alone in an abandoned house with only my fur friends and the occasional visitor to feed me. It's not surprising that I am loving life in my foster home where I have nonstop human companionship and furry friendships. I even started playing with toys and they are so fun!   I live with four other dogs right now. My favorite is the big, shy one (I love him!) and my least favorite is the loud, obnoxious one (I hate him!). I also lived with cats in my last home. My favorite companion is my human though. Once I get to know you, I will ADORE you. Where you go, I go. I will sit on the couch with you and sleep in bed with you.   I am not a fan of collars, harnesses, or leashes - they scare me! I hope to get more comfortable with them after more time and practice, but for now, I need a securely fenced yard in my new home. I can be a bit of an escape artist, so anyone who adopts me will have to be careful to keep me safe and secure. I don't mind going in a crate for meal time, but I don't like going in one for extended periods of time. That's okay because I don't make mischief when left out to roam freely while home alone. One other awesome thing about me is that I'm house trained!   I'm really enjoying life in my foster home, but I can't wait to find my forever home! Would you like to be my new best friend?   An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions. We verify rental policies and adhere to any regulations. Please ensure you understand those restrictions before choosing a dog.          November 3, 2025, 8:09 am

Story
Meet Yogi Just like his famous cartoon namesake, Yogi is a curious, clever guy who’s always ready for his next adventure! Yogi is a 4-month-old white and brown rat terrier mix puppy with a big personality to match his slightly bigger-than-average size! Yogi's mom was a rattie mix, but dad is unknown, and as Yogi is already about 15 lbs., we expect him to grow to be a medium-sized dog. Yogi is a rambunctious, silly puppy who loves to explore, wrestle, and cuddle. He’s still learning all the important puppy skills and is not yet house-trained. He can be a little nervous around new people at first but once he knows you are safe, he quickly attaches himself to your side. Yogi's looking for an active, patient family who understands puppy energy and is excited to help him grow into a well-mannered companion—picnic baskets not included! Because he’s too young for shared potty areas and not yet comfortable walking on a leash, Yogi requires a home with a securely fenced yard. Yogi might not look like your typical New Rattitude pup, but he is sweet as can be and has that energetic, smart, and affectionate rattie personality that will keep you smiling. Consider adding him to your family this season! More photos of Yogi are available at  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/yogi If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info.December 23, 2025, 9:44 pm
