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!
Nola is 4 years old and is a sweet girl! She has lots of energy, loves to play fetch and is a very cuddly girl!!!! Welcome Nola to Westies in Need.
An update...Nola (her name will be Scotia) has been adopted! She met Carole and her family and asked if she could live with them forever!!!
Bella is 11 months old and is an owner surrender. She has some skin issues and will need surgery on her little back left leg to correct a genetic problem, but we promise that we will make sure that she gets all the medical help that she needs and all the love as well! She is such a tiny girl, only 5.2 kg and is very sweet!!!!
An update...The surgery on Bella's leg was a 100% successful and her skin is so nice and pink now. Bella is looking and feeling great...and she has been adopted! Could not have happened to a nicer Westie.
Kenzie is 3 years old and as you can see is a very handsome boy!!! He is an owner surrender and we can not thank his family enough for allowing us to find him a new family. He is a high energy boy and is such a happy soul!!! We feel that he will do best in a quieter home with no other dog or cat as he has a bit of "happy peeing" that he does if he gets too excited.
An update...Kenzie has been adopted. This darling, darling boy will now be the "fur"ever Westie to Marion and her family.
Dollee-Mae is, we think, about 7 years old and as you can see is as pretty as they come! This little girl walks well on her leash and is picking up on her house training very quickly!
An update...Dollee-Mae has been adopted. She asked her foster family if maybe she could stay and live with them forever and they said yes!
Millie... also about 4-5 years old and is such a pretty girl. She is already learning how nice it is to live in a home and to get comfortable on the couch! She is being fostered in Hamilton!
Look at that face...now that is a pretty girl!
An update...Millie has been adopted. She met Gina and her family and she just knew it was her "fur"ever home.
Brody was (we believe) the "Baby Daddy" for all the girls above...however that is all behind him now as he was neutered yesterday! This handsome boy is relaxing after his visit to the Vet and then will be ready to join a family! Brody is being fostered in the Whitby area.
An update...Brody has been adopted! This handsome boy is now in his forever home and is having the time of his life!
Journey is 5 years old and has come to us from Ohio, with her sister Whisper (below). These 2 darling girls are very sweet and after a bit of R and R will be ready for adoption. Journey is being fostered in the Ottawa area and is loving her new foster home.
An update...Journey has been adopted! Could not have happened to a nicer girl!
Whisper is also about 5 years old and is such a darling girl, just like her sister (Journey) that you see above. Whisper has such a kind face and as you can see from the picture, has fit into her foster home and loves to snuggle!
An update...Whisper has been adopted. She has found a wonderful new home with Joan in Ottawa and even got a new Westie brother named Duffy.
Lua is 7 years old and is an owner surrender. She has been diagnosed with Addison's disease. Addison’s disease is a disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands fail to produce enough hormones for normal function. It can be very easy to control and dogs can live a long and full life! This sweet girl is in foster care in the Ottawa area.
An update...Lua has been adopted! She has a wonderful new home and loves her new nick-name "Snuggle-Bug"
Old Blue Eyes...
OK...this one is not really a WiN Westie
... but when we found this old picture of Frank Sinatra with a sweet little Westie, we just knew we had to put it on our website, somewhere!!!
Can you blame us???
