Westies take to the streets December 7 in Alexandria, VA to show who is the best dogs from Scotland!

Westie from all over the Washington DC area will be marching down the streets in full glory during the 49th annual Scottish Christmas Walk.  Each year Westie Rescue invite all Westies to march behind our banner to show off in front of thousands who line the streets to view the Christmas season opening event.  Will you join us?

Come join in all the fun as we march through the streets of Alexandria VA this weekend to show the thousands who line the street how great Westies are.

Westie Rescue will be at multiple Scottish Games and Festivals this year to show off adopted Westies.  The largest is always the Virginia Scottish Games. This will be our 26th year in attending. We run the dog events and the Terrier Races (Demos on Saturday and actual Racing is on Sunday).

Please come by and show your support and talk with our volunteers as well as pet a Westie or two.  Murphy, Piper, and Fergus are coming so plan on petting them. 

The games will be held for two days this year.  Dog events start each day at 10 AM.  There is always a parade of all Scottish Dogs and the Clans around noon time on SUNDAY.  I will be running the famous Terrier Races once again so come out and cheer those who make it all the way to the end.  Your terrier is expected, so come one and all. 

Spread the word Westie Rescue will be at the VA Scottish games at Great Meadows, The Plains, Virginia, for the 42nd Annual Scottish Games and terrier races. 

Dogs are welcome. Special Dog Events each day.

Spring Allergy Time!

Posted on by westierescue1@gmail.com in health, tips

A quick tip to keep your little one away from the dreaded itches and scratches this spring time. Baby Wipes.

EVERY TIME the little monster(s) come in from outside wipe their muzzle, feet, tail and butt areas with a fresh baby wipe. Simple but effective. Where to buy? COSTCO, yep, good old bulk buy Costco.

Now go get the leash, the weather is warming up, and there are squirrels that need chasing out there…..
