Westies Up For Adoption
The Westie Rescue of Western Pennsylvania follows an extremely strict protocol when placing a Westie in need of a new home:
1. An application MUST be on file by the potential adopter. Go to www.westierescueofwesternpa.com/ and click on "ADOPT/SURRENDER A WESTIE" at the menu bar on the top of the Home Page.
2. To the left of the "Adopt/Surrender" page, find "FORMS," and click on "Adoption Application."
3. Complete the application online, and click on "Submit" at the bottom of the digital form.
4. Please understand that completing an application does NOT guarantee adoption. A very thorough decision-making process is utilized, keeping the dog's individual needs as the main contributing factor for who is chosen as the adopter.
5. An adoption fee is required which will allow the Westie Rescue of Western PA to continue to help other Westies in need.
6. Due to the high number of applications received, further communication will only be with the potential adopter. We are a very small organization made up of ONLY volunteers, therefore responding to each and every interested party will be attempted but not guaranteed.
7. You must have an adoption application on file to be eligible to adopt.
Thank you most kindly,
Bob Murphy & The Westie Rescue of Western PA

Buzz
"To infinity and beyond!" – Buzz Lightyear Would you like to blast off this fall season with your very own Buzz the Westie? Meet Buzz, nicknamed, “Buzzy,” a 3 ½ old intact male whose owner can no longer take care of him due to health reasons and moving to an RV.

His owner has applied cortisone when his skin has been irritated, and also Benadryl. Because he lives in a kennel in the garage with another Westie named Jack, he will need to be house trained. Buzz gets along with other dogs, cats, and kids of all ages…he would do well in ANY home because of his sweet disposition! Get ready to be loved to infinity and beyond by Buzz!

Boo Boo
Here is Booboo's information and pictures: "Hey, Boo Boo, I spy a pic-a-nic basket!" – Yogi Bear “Mr. Ranger isn't gonna like this, Yogi…” – Boo Boo Bear Like Yogi Bear, would you enjoy going on picnics with your best friend, having a loyal sidekick and conscience called, ‘Booboo the Westie?’ Hello to all…I am Booboo, a 13-year-old, neutered, and loving boy who is in desperate need of foster care and/or adoption. My mom can no longer care for me because she has to move back to Hong Kong and my dad works super long hours for his job. They have no one else to care for me and they do not believe that I deserve to be left alone for hours. I am current on my Rabies (1 year), DHLPP, and Lyme Disease shots. Yes, I come with medical records from my veterinarian. I get skin allergies on my feet, as pictured below. My favorite dog food is Holistic Select and I know many commands like, “Sit, come, lay, walk, potty, stay, food, and “Wanna go for a ride?” I am mostly house trained, and I could use a few pointers in reference to house training. I would love to walk with you every morning and snuggle & sleep with you on the couch every night. My favorite toys are Nylabones, and they are coming with me! I get baths, but I do not care for them, and I bark at fireworks and sirens. I am GOOD with car travel, children under 9 years of age, older kids, other dogs, and cats. I am a very loving boy who loves to be pet and to have my chest rubbed. I deserve a good home for my remaining years, and I will be your loyal, loving companion! |

Winnie
“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” — Winnie the Pooh. Hello, World! I am little Winnie, nicknamed, “Binnie Winnie.” I am a spayed, 6-year-old female Westie born on August 14, 2018. My owner is incredibly sad to give me up, but I just cannot get along with the other Westies and Shelties in my home. I am ONLY aggressive with other dogs and cats, so I need to be the only pet in the household. Unfortunately, I will bite other dogs and cats, so I need to be the only pet in your life. When my mom tried to separate me from being aggressive with the other pets in our home, she was accidently bit by one of the other dogs. I do LOVE people though and will love you!!! I am current on all of my shots from the vet, including my 3-year rabies shot and a current DHLPP. Interceptor in a green box is my Heartworm Medicine, and I have not needed Tick or Flea Medicine. I have no known allergies, will come with a veterinarian record & information, am microchipped, and take the following medications: 1. Fluoxetine HCL 10 mg 1 tablet twice a day (needs to be weaned slowly off this medicine) – for behavioral disorders in dogs / labeled to treat separation anxiety. 2. Oxybutynin 5 mg. 1/4 tablet twice a day – for bladder spasms – so that I do not pee pee in my sleep. 3. Incurin - 1 tablet once a day (Mornings) - treats estrogen-responsive urinary incontinence (urine leaking) in spayed female dogs – so that I do not pee pee in my sleep. My favorite dog food is Life Abundance / All Stage Food / 1/2 cup / twice a day. If I eat more than that, I will get diarrhea. My mom will send me with a 20 lb. dog food bag! Animal crackers are my treats of choice. “Are you hungry?” is my food command, feeding me twice a day ONLY. I am mostly house trained, and I have not had obedience training. When it comes to sleeping, I am a recliner girl! My favorite toys are Tennis balls, squeaky toys, and stuffed toys; they will be sent with me! I am terrified of the sweeper and run around when I hear its noise; I do not like to play with that ‘monster.’ Please adopt me into a home with ZERO dogs or cats, although I seem to be OK with large, calm dogs. I have never been around small kids. I am very lovable and cuddly. Because I am little, I will curl up on your lap or curl up tightly against you. Longing to be spoiled by you, I am energetic when playing with my Tennis balls. My play time consists of throwing tennis ball in my fenced yard, fetching thrown, stuffed squeaky toys in the house, and carrying around your shoes. I love your shoes in my mouth but have NEVER caused destruction of any shoes. Please walk me on a leash using a harness or I will run away. If you do walk me, I would have to be obedience trained to do so, and be muzzled, as I do not like other dogs. When it comes to “doing my business,” I am used to both a pea gravel enclosed pen for going to the bathroom, and I know how to use puppy pee pads in the laundry room. “Do you want to go outside to pee?” is my pee pee command. Please allow me to be loose in my new home and NOT in a crate as I do NOT |

Jackie
Jackie... Whoa, you set the world on fire You came and gifted us Your love it lifted us higher and higher. Hi, everyone! I am 8-year-old Jackson, nickname, “Jackie.” Yes, I am neutered, with all of my shots from my veterinarian, microchipped, and on Interceptor Plus & NexGard Chewables for fleas, ticks, and worms. Seeing my vet annually, I take Famotidine for my upset stomach and Solliquin chews for calming my nerves. My parents must surrender me because they have a grandchild, and I bite when around cats, so they cannot take that chance. I also chase squirrels, rabbits, deer, and groundhogs so be careful when you have me out on a leash. I have only bitten one time and it was around a cat. I accidentally bit one of my owners when the neighbor’s cat came upon us as she was putting on my leash. I do not show an aggressive nature with other dogs or people, unless a cat is around. I only accidentally bit one time and have shown no prior aggression to persons, dogs, or children. But, those darn cats! My favorite food is Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach, ½ cup, twice daily. I attended obedience school at Best Paw Forward and am house trained. I know commands like, “Sit,” “Stop,” “Walk,” “Treat,” “Catch,” and “Stay.” When I have to go potty, I know, “Time to pee,” and “Time to poop.” I need to walk, and my new owners will need to be able to command and discipline me when on a leash. If I am off leash, I will run away! I enjoy playing with toys in the house, for example, with purple squirrel, blue Kong tire, rope tugs, and toy bones. At night, I sleep in a crate, my favorite chair, or on the couch. I do not like fireworks, thunder, or lightning. I look forward to going on car rides but after an hour goes by, I get sick to my stomach. My best home will be a secure place where I can play and be disciplined with absolutely no cats or other small animals, whether domestic or wild, and preferably no small children. I need a loving home where I can get both attention and discipline, and I will give you much love & joy in return! |
