Westies in Need

For a variety of reasons, each year a number of Westies find themselves in need of new homes.  Responsible breeders take care of their own, but  the relationship with many pet stores, puppy mills, brokers, roadside sellers, and backyard breeders stops once money changes hands.  Many people take on a dog when they are not prepared for it.  Many do not research the breed and choose the wrong dog for their lifestyle and personality.  Many do not feel a need to commit to a dog for their lifetime.  Some dogs are lost, some are abandoned, and some are owner-surrendered.  Sometimes owners are forced to give up their Westie due to medical problems, divorce, moving, allergies, a new baby, or some other reason.

And this is where we help...

I want to...
        Adopt a Westie.
        Relinquish a Westie to Rescue.
