Westies in Need - WiN
|
How can I Help?????
|
Here are a few ways you can help:
Transport: Volunteer to help transport a
Westie from the shelter to their foster home or from their foster home to their
forever home. Let us know if you are available to transport from time to time.
Just click here! |
 |
| Home
Visit: Volunteer to fulfil a pre-adoption home visit for a rescued
Westie waiting to go home to a prospective family. This involves visiting the
home of an applicant adoptive family after their interviews and reference
checks are completed to meet the prospective family in person. If you can help,
just click here! |
|
Foster: Offer a temporary foster home for a Westie. If
you have room in your home, you might consider fostering for us. We are always
looking for new foster parents. Fostering is an enriching, rewarding
experience.
Our Westies sometimes come from puppy mill busts, euthanasia
lists from shelters or sometimes they come from families who can no longer care
for them. If you are an experienced dog family with a big heart and a desire to
give a homeless Westie a second chance at life, you are our kinda folks!
| Thanks so
much for considering fostering! We really do need you. |

 WiN
does not have a shelter or physical location. Instead, we operate through a
tight-knit network of rescue coordinators and foster homes, trying to rescue as
many Westies as possible.
Our foster homes are the private residences of
individuals who want to help Westies in need, giving them a safe and loving
sanctuary while we try to match them with a qualified permanent adoptive home.
People interested in fostering must apply and be screened and approved
to be a Westie Foster home. We do careful checks both for our foster home
applicants and our adoption applicants to make sure that the dogs get the best
possible, most responsible care.
As a foster parent, you would decide when
(and if) to accept a new foster dog.

events, small adoption fees and the generosity of Westie-lovers like yourself
to continue rescuing Westies. Money received from donations is used to pay for
medical expenses for a Westie such as neuter or spay surgery, heartworm
treatment, vaccinations and much more. Your donations allows us to rescue and
provide the care each Westie needs. All funds go directly to the care of the
Westies in our Rescue Program.

we could not survive without caring folks like you.
