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

Story
Meet Boo-Boo Sweet, playful, and always close by—Boo-Boo lives up to his cartoon bear namesake as the lovable sidekick with a big heart! Boo-Boo is a 4-month-old rat terrier mix puppy with an outgoing personality. He and his brother came from an accidental litter with an unknown father, and as Boo-Boo is already about 15 lbs., he is expected to grow to be a medium-sized dog. Boo-Boo is full of puppy enthusiasm and loves to play hard and cuddle harder once he’s tired out. Like any young pup, he’s not house-trained yet and is still learning what it means to be attached to a leash. Because he’s too young for shared potty areas, Boo-Boo must have a securely fenced yard where he can safely learn and play. Boo-Boo is hoping to find a human or family that will guide him with patience, consistency, and plenty of love—no ranger required. Boo-Boo 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.

Story
I AM CURRENTLY IN A FOSTER HOME. PLEASE REACH OUT TO THE OFFICE TO SET UP A TIME TO MEET ME!Hi, I’m Gam Gam! I’m an 11-year-old Jack Russell Terrier with the sweetest little soul. I may be a senior girl, but I still have so much love to give. Because of my age, I’m looking for a special someone who can open their heart and home to me as a hospice foster or adopter.I’m going blind and possibly hard of hearing, so I would do best in a calm, quiet home—either with gentle, laid-back dogs or as the only pup. My favorite things in the world are snuggling close and napping the day away. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion to share your home and heart, I’d love nothing more than to spend my golden days by your side. Currently, I am available for adoption. If you are interested in meeting with me, please fill out an application or call the Humane Society of Forsyth County at 770-887-6480. Adoption hours are Tuesday through Thursday 11-5 and Friday and Saturday 1-5. All my love, Gam Gam /(^.^)\",AVAILABLE"

Meet Bernice! Bernice is a sweet, lovable puppy weighing about 15 pounds and approximately 11 weeks old. She’s doing wonderfully with potty training and is already sleeping through the night in her pen/play area. Bernice will let you know when she needs to go outside, which is pretty impressive for her age! She’s a total people-pup who loves to follow her humans wherever they go. Bernice is learning how to play with her toys and is gentle, docile, and incredibly affectionate. She listens well to commands and is eager to please, making her a joy to have around. Bernice would be a perfect addition to a loving home looking for a cuddly, well-mannered puppy with a calm and sweet disposition. Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies! Before inquiring, we thought it was important to share a few of our policies. Puppies - We do not adopt puppies under 16 weeks to out of state adopters. This is due to our spay/neuter policy, and all dogs must be spayed/neutered before leaving Georgia state lines. We do not adopt siblings to the same household. Your Current Pets - We do require that your current dogs and cats are current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. Adoptions - We do not have a shelter and are a foster-home based organization. We do require that you have an approved adoption application to schedule a meet and greet. You can fill out an adoption application on our website, www.herorescue.org/adopt. Once your application is approved it will be sent to the foster family that is currently caring for the dog. They will be able to provide information on likes, dislikes, personality, etc. They will also schedule a time for you to meet the dog. We do require a home visit prior to adoption. Inquiries - If you would like more information on any dogs in the rescue, please email us at info@herorescue.org.
