Success Stories
Westies in Need (WiN) works very hard to match our wonderful dogs with equally wonderful new families. Here are some of our success stories!
Lilly's Story
One of our little rescues was named Lilly - she was the worst case of skin problems we had ever seen when she arrived into our rescue program. The Pet Network saw her info on our website and asked if they could do a story on our Lilly and our rescue. Click here to watch the video of Lilly and her journey...they did a great job and we can't thank the Pet Network enough for supporting us! Lilly says THANKS too!

Magpie is a very sweet girl who's turning 8 yrs in July. Her family was no longer able to care for her so we were happy to be able to take her and assure them we'd place her with a great family!
Welcome Magpie to Westies in Need!
An update...Magpie has been adopted...her new name is Maisie!!!
Po is a little Westie/mix (poodle we think) that has come to us as an owner surrender. She was very matted unfortunately so our groomer was only able to shave her down...but no worries, Westie hair grows back!!! As you can see she has some staining around her mouth and her eyes from eating a very poor quality food (Caesar dog food ) but all that will clear quickly when she is on a proper food!!!
This is such a lovely girl, so kind and loving...she needs a quiet home where she will be the center of attention!!!
An update...Po has been adopted!!! This kind girl has found her home!
Lucie is an adorable, petite Westie mix who was found wandering the streets and sadly, no one came to claim her..
She is fostering in Quebec and will be seen by our vet this afternoon.
Don't worry lil' munchkin ... we're going to find you a wonderful new home where you will have the life of a Princess!!
An update...Lucie has been adopted!!!
Bella and Barkley are a wonderful bonded pair of Westies, who are as cute as can be!!!
Barkley (on the right) is 5 yrs old and needs to be neutered (sorry Barkley...but the "boys" have to go!!!!) and Bella (on the left) is only 3 years old. These little ones must be adopted together!!!!
An update...Bella and Barkley have been adopted!!! They are staying together forever!!
