Story
Janette is a sweet girl who came to us when her person had to go into assisted living. This little doll was raised by a dog trainer, so she knows lots of commands! She is currenty in a foster home with another dog and cats. She is great with dogsand is learning to leave the cats alone. Janette loves squeaky toys, playing ball, rides in the car,and sleeping under the covers. Janette takes a few minutes to trust new people, but that's not surprising for a dog who has been through such major changes. She wants so badly to please and be loved! She is loyal, protective, and smart. Although she is apartment sized, we would not recommend her for apartment living.

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
Darling Izzy/Lizzy is ready for her new home. Our girl is a little shy at first but is a loving and intelligent pup. About two years old next month, she came to us in Feb 2024 as a two month old puppy with her sister. Then known as Victoria, she was adopted the next month. Sadly, her parents had to return her to us this August. She weighs about 20 pounds, all vetted, microchipped and is looking for that family who is as wonderful as she is. As always, we require a secure, above ground, fenced yard to help keep her safe. https://www.jackrusselladoptions.org/adopt-a-dog/adoption-application/
