Breed
Rescue
Adoption:
Thank
you for your interest in Westie Rescue. The mission of the WHWTCC
Rescue Program is to facilitate the rescue and adoption of stray,
abandoned, neglected, abused and surrendered Westies. Our geographical
area of responsibility is from Central California to the Mexican
Border, and Southern Nevada.
Westies
come to us for a variety of reasons. Some dogs come from shelters,
while others are surrendered by their owners. Some of the common
reasons that owners surrender their Westie include the inability
to care for the dog’s medical problems (skin disease and
allergies most typically), lack of time, family relocation, divorce,
addition of a new baby, death of an owner, behavior problems and
a lifestyle incompatible with the Westie personality and temperament.
Most Westies in our Rescue Program are middle-aged males. It is
VERY rare for a puppy of either sex to find its way into Rescue.
If you desire a puppy, may we suggest that you contact our Club’s
Breeder Referral. Sometimes we get older males and females.
Considering the average lifespan of a Westie, these older dogs
can give a family many years of happiness.
If you are interested in adopting a Westie Rescue, please fill
out our Adoption
Application and mail it to the Rescue Chairperson at the address
below, along with a non-refundable donation of $10.00. Please
make your check payable to WHWTCC. After the Rescue Chairperson
reviews your application, you will be contacted about any available
dogs which seem like a good match for you and your household circumstances.
The more specific you are on your application, the more helpful
it is to the Rescue Chairperson when he/she makes decisions about
placing dogs in the best home.

The
adoption fee for each dog is based on the age and health of the
dog, and shall not exceed $500.00. The younger and healthier dogs
will have the higher adoption fees. Adoption fees help pay for
the medical bills of dogs in our Rescue Program.
At
the time of adoption, you will be required to sign our Adoption
Contract.
Relinquishment:
If
circumstances require you to surrender your Westie into our Rescue
Program, we are here to help you. Please contact the Rescue Chairperson
below, and we will arrange a convenient time to receive your dog.
Additionally, please complete our Dog
Profile form . Accurately completing this form will help us
find the best new home for your dog. We will also require you
to sign a Release
Agreement when we receive your dog.
