Story
🐾 Meet Bonnie – Tiny but Mighty! 🐾 Looking for a loyal best friend who’ll guard your couch, heart, and snack stash with fierce devotion? Meet Bonnie, a 1-year-old Rat Terrier mix with a big personality packed into a small, adorable body! Bonnie knows what (and who) she likes — and she’s not afraid to say it. Men with beards? Hard pass. Kids? Let’s just say she prefers a quieter crowd. But single ladies, take note — once Bonnie decides you’re her person, she’ll be your pint-sized protector, constant companion, and professional lap warmer. She’s sassy, loyal, and full of charm — a little dog with big “main character energy.” 💖 Bonnie’s dream home? A calm household, plenty of treats, no beards, no kids — just her favorite lady and a comfy lap to call her own! Our adoption process is usually quick but may take up to two weeks. When you find an animal you are interested in, we ask that you fill out an application on our website, PawsUp4Rescue.org/adopting as a first step so we can determine if your family is a good fit for the animal. If you are, then we will contact you to arrange a time for you and your family to meet the animal so you can decide if it is a good fit. If you currently have dogs, we require them to be present at the meeting to ensure it's a good fit all around. Once compatibility is determined, we move on to the paperwork and finalize the adoption. If the meet is not a good fit, we will keep your application on file for 6 months and will gladly consider your family for another dog.

Story
ADOPT MAX Meet Max, a 7 month old, 12 pound neutered male Rat Terrier mix. He is a young, smart, and playful dog eager for a forever home. Max is a bit shy but incredibly curious and sweet. His loyalty knows no bounds. Max loves to cuddle after a long day of energetic play. Brave in spirit, Max thrives in a space where he can explore safely, so a fenced yard is essential for him; apartments are not suitable. Currently he is learning the ropes of house training. Max would make a perfect companion for anyone looking to add a bundle of joy and devotion to their life. Max’s adoption fee is $495. Max is up to date on shots, neutered, microchipped, fecal checked and current on heartworm and flea prevention. If you believe this wonderful little guy is for you, go to our website heathersfosterdogs.org to complete and submit an adoption application. We will make arrangements to meet with prospective adopters only after a submitted application has been reviewed & a phone conversation has taken place. ***Please note that we are a foster based group located in the southern suburbs of Chicago. ***

Story
Meet Kiko and Kody! These adorable 8-year-old Rat Terrier brothers came to us after being surrendered to local animal control. They are sweet little guys who love to sit on your lap or shoulders. Kiko is a bit over 10lbs and Kody is a bit under 10lbs. They are a bit picky about dog friends, but seem to do better with small, mellow females. They're wonderful boys and have quickly become staff and volunteer favorites! Kiko and Kody are a bonded pair and looking for a home together. They may take a bit to warm up, but once they do, you'll have two little besties!

Hello Everyone, My name is Bandit and I’m a 3 mo old Rat Terrier baby boy who is as sweet as can be. I am looking for my happily ever after. Investing your time and love into me will be so worth it!! I am an absolute sweetheart. I have a ton of personality. I was rescued and am now in a foster home awaiting my forever family. I am a sweet, loving and smart lil baby who just wants a loving family. I am happy, playful and an absolute joy to be around. I love playing and I am right at the perfect age for lots of training. I am good with children and other animals. Please add a lotta unconditional love, sloppy kisses, tail wags and endless happiness to your family and contact jbrescuerangers@yahoo.com for an adoption application and bring me home. I will come with the works (neutered, up to date on everything, micro chipped, fecal, heart worm tested, monthly heartworm, flea and tick prevented, a free vet visit and medical insurance). What more could a new family ask for? Love and Kisses, Bandit
