Westie Rescue of Missouri, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation formed in 1999 to address the rescue needs of shelter dogs and puppy mill dogs. It is the mission of Westie Rescue of Missouri to prevent cruelty, abuse or neglect of West Highland White Terriers. All Westie Rescue staff are volunteers who want to see that all Westies have a warm, safe and healthy environment where they can develop to their full potential while we search for their new "forever" home.
We normally place from adoption applications. We seldom advertise any of our dogs on Pet Finder. So, having an adoption application on file is advisable. We have placed our adoption application on our website at Missouri Adoption Application. Having the application on our website helps us keep copying and postage charges to a minimum. Please print off the application, fill it out and send it to us. We screen each application when it comes in and we file it according to the type of dog that the applicant is seeking - puppy, young female, young male, etc. Then when we receive in a dog, we can easily access the individuals who are looking for that particular characteristic. Our dogs are fully "vetted" before they are placed. They are up-to-date on their vaccinations, they are spayed or neutered, they are tested for heart worms. Older dogs are tested for liver and kidney functions, and any necessary dental work has been performed. All dogs are micro-chipped. Our policy is to try and place on a first-come, first-serve, basis to qualified homes, but our primary emphasis is the needs of the dog. We try to assess a dog's personality and then try to find a home that looks like a good fit. Once we get in a dog that looks like it would fit well into an applicant's home, we contact the applicant and begin a discussion about the dog. We only work with one applicant at a time on a dog. Only when the first likely applicant does not work out, do we move to the next applicant.
