Westie Rescue USA

All across the United States, independent Westie Rescue organizations and their volunteers are helping to identify Westies at risk of homelessness or death, fostering them, and placing them into permanent “forever” homes.

Our dogs come from lots of places. Some are surrendered to rescue from a private home. Other rescues are dedicated to rescuing Westies from “puppy mills,” where unprincipled business owners breed dogs for profit at a massive scale without regard to the dogs in “their care.”

We believe all dogs should be held harmless for their circumstance.

Through collaboration with other organizations, donations from private individuals and foundations, and the tireless work of volunteers, hundreds of Westies and other small dogs are saved each year from indignity, pain, and needless death.

Westie Rescue volunteers have helped over 5,200 Westies get the care they need to be ready for their new homes. Can you help us to continue to assist these little ones by making a donation today?  DONATE NOW

Westie Rescue organizations across America are in need of the skills, talents, and resources of private individuals to do their important work.  From locating at-risk dogs in kill shelters and providing fostering or adopting to helping your local Westie Rescue with transport, social media, or fundraising, there are many thing you can do to support the rescue of homeless Westies. Here are just three ways you can help:

• Volunteer. Share your skills with Westie Rescue USA, Westie Rescue  MidAtlantic Region, or one of the many local Westie Rescue organizations.
• Adopt. Consider adopting a rescued Westie from a local Westie Rescue organization.
• Donate. Make a financial contribution to Westie Rescue USA or designated local Westie Rescue of your choice.

Westie Rescue Process

Each Westie receives the following health check up and treatments when they come to us:

Step One: Rescued Westie is off to our Vet hospital for medical health check ups, shots updated, teeth cleaning if required, neutering, blood testing to see what is going on inside, the start of normal food and normal daily schedule. Any medical conditions identified by our wonderful Vets, who see more Westies in a week than most Vets see in a year, have their required treatments started and continued by new owners with our assistance and oversight.

Westie Rescue has stepped up and repaired and rehabilitated many injured, hurt, and neglected Westies in the past years. Even some who’s medical bills exceeded $9,000 to get them ready for adoption.
