I have done a very similar thing:
Foo.should_receive(:find).and_raise ActiveRecord::ActiveRecordError
and then change your rescue to handle ActiveRecord::ActiveRecordError.
If you get to the point where you have a generic way you'd like to
handle the exceptions in a controller, or across controllers look into
using the controller class method rescue_from.
I'm not 100% this is what you were asking, hopefully you were just
looking for confirmation,
