Overview

Mission

Mission is to neuter, rehabilitate and place homeless westies with responsible, caring new owners, to serve as a resource to members of the public to help with breeding information and responsible pet ownership and to provide an alternate source for people who want a pet westie without sending them to the commercial market by default. We issue a newsletter on a bi-monthly basis. Historically 10-15 dogs are rescued and placed in an average year.

What it reported doing in 2025

Rescued dogs were given medical treatment, evaluated, fostered and subsequently placed with new adoptive owners. During 2025 12 dogs were rescued and 6 were placed in new homes. Six dogs remained in foster care at december 31, 2025.
