Many dedicated and caring volunteers are providing this necessary service to help Westies all across the country. Rescue groups obtain abandoned and surrendered Westies, provide foster homes, veterinary care and rehabilitation then place the dogs in nurturing permanent homes selected to provide love and care. Rescue groups attempt to keep all Westies out of animal shelters to avoid euthanasia and also aid Westie owners in recovering lost or stolen pets. If you are interested in adopting or fostering a Westie Rescue or if you know of a dog needing the assistance of a Westie Rescue group, please check the link below for the Westie rescue representative in your area.
Please open your heart & home to a Westie Rescue Dogs are placed into rescue programs for a variety of reasons including family moves, death, divorce, illness, owner incompatibility with the Westie personality, owner inability to cope with the dog's health conditions, strays found in shelters and, sometimes, as in the story below, the closure of a puppy mill. Fortunately, this heart rendering story of a puppy mill rescue has several happy endings, though, sadly, this is not always the case. This account is just one example of the tireless rescue work accomplished year round by dedicated unsung heroes. Please take a few moments to read this true story of a group of strangers who came together for the Love of Westies and discovered, with living proof, that Faith does lead to Miracles.

Westie owner
Acquiring a West Highland White Terrier
DO I GO HOME TODAY? My family brought me home
cradled in their arms.
The children loved to
feed me; they gave me special treats.
These are the things I'll
not forget - a cherished memory.
The kids and I would grab
a rug, for hours we would tug.
The walks stopped, one
by one; they said they hadn't the time.
So they brought me to
the shelter but were embarrassed to say why.
"You only have one day
left", I heard a worker say.
