How exciting to find your website. We were looking for information about Westies. We have two, Bonnie and Clyde. Barnaby left us a 21 years old. When we saw Morgann on the website we immediately felt compelled to give her a home. We greatly appreciate all you do for these wonder "little people in fur coats"

I am the proud pet parent of a soon-to-be 5 yr old westie named Leia. She came into my life when I was stationed (USAF) in Germany. Everyday I thank god that she has blessed my life. I came across your website one night and I just want to say you are doing wonderful work. I wish I could hug, kiss and love all of the adoptable westies. I am thinking of getting a sister for Leia but I want to make sure(it's an important decison). Anyway, god bless you all and give those boys and girls and kiss and hug for me

I have two beautiful westie males, litter mates, and they are the sweetest most loving dogs I have ever had. I highly recommend the breed and I want to volunteer very soon to help out in some way.

Hello Kathy;
Thank you for loving your two male Westies. We certainly would welcome your volunteering. There are so many tasks, because we have more incoming due to the downturned economy. Just go onto the website under 'Volunteer' and complete the form prompt.
Thanks again!

I got a westie about 7 months ago, he is currently 9 months old and he constantly scratches and bites himself everywhere. he is on flea treatment, and the vet put him on benadryl and that did nothing, so he put him on steroids and that does nothing either I do not know what to do.

My soul-mate, my short-man, my Oggie just diagnosed with renal failure at eleven years old. He spent 2 full days and nights in vet and hospital care, he came home to be with us Friday evening. Still om meds, but nothing is helping. I am so hurt. Our 16 year od Cairn Terrier is dying of cancer, but slowly, she still eats, etc. I thought we'd still have five years with Oggie, now he's to be the first to die.

Hello Shelly;
Thank you for your contact. You didn't list the age of your Westie? Puppy, adult? Sounds as though might have secondary Staph infection. Would seek a second Vet's opinion. The dog can be washed in Malaseb Medicated Shampoo, scrubbed with a natural bristle pedicure brush and allowed to soak with the shampoo lathered. Make sure to rinse well with warm water. Also, blow dry the dog. Change bedding daily while the sores and scabs are present. Staph infection is treated with antibiotics. A skin scrapping recommended (that would rule out yeast and scabies). Dog can wear a baby's t-shirt (all cotton) to help with the scratching/itching.
If you would like detailed information please contact us via our email. This format does not lend itself to 'chat' dialogue.
Good luck!

What does it cost to adopt a rescued puppy. My seventeen-year-old son is interested and Dad wants a young pup so it will be more easily trained.

Hello Claudia;
There is not a designated time. It depends upon a match in program with your adoption profile.

Love Westies. Adopted an older westie who has since passed to the Rainbow Bridge. Thinking of adopting another dog to be a companion for my husband who spends time at our place in Arizona while I am still working in Idaho. We have a 3 year old Westie named Angus.
