Story
Hey y'all! Sassy (britches) here! I am a beautiful liver-and-white colored female rat terrier mix -- mature and calm at 6 years of age and I weigh 15.5 lbs. I get along with all dogs and am super friendly! I might be a bit shy to begin with, but if you are kind to me I am your new best friend. I guess humans would call me a "velcro dog". I don't have any separation anxiety but I live with a foster pack of 3 so I am not often completely alone. My foster mom has no issues leaving me loose in the home all day while she is away at work. No potty accidents and no destructive behavior. I mean seriously, I am a Princess! Have you seen my photos? I come when called and do not run away (such a great trait in a rat terrier breed). I know a couple of tricks: I spin in a circle for a treat and look totally adorable while doing it. I have a sweet overbite in my lower toothies which is super cute, and a curled tail. In my former life, I was the only dog with a single owner. But I also enjoy living with the pack, as long as I get to lay very close to my hooman. I am crate-trained but would MUCH prefer to sleep in the bed with you. I walk nicely on a leash and am just the perfect little girl. I rarely bark and love life. I am a bit picky about my food but hey, I have to have at least one little quirk, right? Are you looking for a perfect love? I am your girl.  Love, Sassy If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www.

Story
Meet Zuni — your tiny, speckled shadow with a brave little heart. Zuni is a one-year-old rat terrier whose markings make her look like she’s always thoughtfully observing the world. At about 15 pounds, she’s the perfect size: small enough to curl up beside you yet sturdy enough to keep up with any adventure! Zuni’s story started in a rural shelter after being surrendered by a breeder. While her beginning didn’t offer much stability, Zuni has been quietly and courageously learning what it means to feel safe and she’s come so far. She’s playful, quirky, and has an huge soft spot for treats. She absolutely thrives around other dogs and would love a home with a confident canine buddy to show her the ropes. Watching her relax and play with another dog is like watching someone finally exhale. At home, Zuni is gentle and sweet. She sleeps peacefully in her crate at night and enjoys being near her people during the day. She’s still a bit unsure about sudden movements or being scooped up  but give her time and she’ll come around.  Once she is comfortable with you,  she melts into ear scratches and quiet affection like she’s been saving it just for you. Zuni is still working on housetraining and has been doing great! Right now she has a potty pad by the door that she uses if she can’t wait. Zuni is looking for a patient, loving home that understands that trust is something to build step-by-step. She’s not a “jump in your lap on day one” kind of dog—but she is the kind of dog whose love and loyalty feel incredibly special once you earn them.   If you believe the best relationships are the ones that grow over time, Zuni is waiting to meet you.

With great saddness I must find a new home for my best friend, my new job has me away too much. He is a 7yr old purebred rat terrier, he still has the playful and spunky characteristics rat terriers are known for. I would like for him to go to a home that has other playful small dogs/animals or a family with young kids. He gets along great with other animals as well as kids. He is update on all vaccines. He will come with his playpen/toys/beddings.....I am asking for a rehoming fee of $100 willing to compromise on fee depending on circumstances. I would like to rehome before April 15th. PLEASE ADD TO YOUR FAMILY, YOU WONT REGRET IT !

Story
Have you heard the news??? Zara is available to be adopted . . . with NO ADOPTION FEE!! A huge thanks goes to Animal Legal Defense Fund for this! Because of ALDF, actress Kate Mara is sponsoring the adoption fee for some of our amazing dogs! Wow - can you believe it?? You can adopt one of our great dogs, and spend the adoption fee on new toys, soft beds, and yummy treats instead! ara, named Blyss at the shelter, ended up there when someone called and said there was a dog on their front porch. We don't know if she was lost, or someone had dumped her, but no one came to get her, until we did. This girl, who we think is a mix of rat terrier, min pin and a little bit of pittie, is a petite girl. She weighed 29 pounds when we pulled her from the shelter, and was a bit underweight, with some filling out to do. She is about 2 years old now, and is at her perfect weight, weighing about 38 pounds. She has a slender little body with long legs, a beautiful red brindle coat, and ears for days! If you have wanted a dog to do dog sports with - like agility - this sweet athletic girl may be a great fit for you! Like all of our dogs, Zara is in Atlanta. She can be adopted at any time, and will be available to go to her new home when she graduates from the program in mid-December. March 10, 2026, 2:53 pm

Story
    Hello, my name is Linky West! I'm around 9 years old and I weigh about 15-20 pounds. I think I'm a rat terrier mix. I'm spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, healthy, and ready to find my new home! I'm house trained and have learned to walk on a leash fairly well. I do not like crates for more than a short period of time, but that's okay because I can be left out without any worry of mischief making. When I first arrived at my foster home, I was very scared and unsure. Over time, I have settled in and come to love it here. I'm so much more happy and confident. I discovered that I love toys and cuddling. I also love treats! Now that I am more confident, I have found my voice and will let you know any time something even remotely interesting is going on in the house or the neighborhood, so I'd do best in a home that did not share walls with neighbors. I live with four other dogs right now. I prefer gentle, easy going dogs and do not care for bossy or dominant dogs. 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 must insist that I sit on the couch with you and sleep in bed with you.    An odd quirk I have is that I get scared when someone tries to handle me (like a vet) or put something on my body (like a harness). If you slow down and speak sweetly, it helps me calm down a bit. My other request is a securely fenced yard. This is because I sometimes try to dart out the door and run wild, and also because I'm still working on my leash skills.  I'm really enjoying life in my foster home, but I am ready to find my new forever home!   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.          April 28, 2026, 11:36 am
