**Needs to be an only pet*** We have a lovable and adorable 4 yo female westie we are looking for the ideal home to match her needs.
She loves people and loves to cuddle. However, what she doesn’t love or even like at all is other dogs. She has a high prey drive so cats are on her dislike list too.
So if you think you may be the right home for Molly please fill out an application for her today with the link below.
She is under going treatment for a flea allergy dermatitis but the vet feels confident that she doesn’t have typical westie skin allergies and her coat should fill in nicely.

Welcome Ginger to WRSE! This sweet 5 yo little lady has spent her life as an Amish breeding dog. As you can see she is liking life so far with her foster mom. She is on her way to forever happy now that she is with us.
She is not available at this time due to necessary medical attention that is needed.
To be considered for any of our rescue pups please have your application on file on our website. Westierescuesoutheast.org/applications

It’s amazing in less than 24 hrs after a bath (or two), good food and a lot of love how content and white these pups are already. We really do have the best volunteers!!

Yesterday was a very big day for the volunteers here at WRSE. We had to transport 10 dogs from a breeder that has closed his kennel up in the mountains of Alabama. We called it Operation Apple Picking because of the large Apple orchard near by.
It didn’t start out too well. Our volunteer Lindy, had an incident while driving in the dark, in the rain up that mountain. Her car slid on the wet leaves off the side of the road. Luckily, she had signal and called 911. After a few stressful hours she was back on the road and loading the dogs. She is a hero for these pups!
They were in their outside kennels full of mud and fleas.
They began the very long journey to the foster families in NC.
Because of the devastating damage to the Western mountains of NC and roads washed away around Asheville, the trip was much longer. The dogs were on their second leg of the trip Knoxville TN and had to travel up to I81 in VA over to I77 to NC. They arrived last night and headed to their new foster homes where much needed baths took place. Each of these pups already know their lives just changed for the better.
There are a lot of vet visits and spay/neutering appointments in the near future. We will update on their progress as it goes along.
This was a lot of coordination to make it happen and if we didn’t have the most amazing volunteers we would have never been able to help these babies.
We are eternally grateful for each and everyone that participated in making this a success.
This is a huge undertaking for our rescue all at once and as always appreciate your continued support.
If you would like to donate to the care of these pups please follow our donation link.

Update on Lady Diana! She has healed nicely from her surgeries and has acclimated to life with one eye.
She is now at the halfway point of her heartworm treatment and doing well.
Another month to go and she will be ready to find her forever home ❤️

Congratulations to Percy for finding his forever happy home! We wish him and his new mom Linda Freudenberger a lifetime of love and puppy kisses!

UPDATE- Thank you all for the overwhelming response offering to help foster and transport these pups.
All of them have a placement lined up and their foster homes have been contacted. If we didn’t contact you please know that we may reach out in the near future for help with a rescue pup.
Thank you so much again, we are so grateful for all of you.

Dear Westie Village,

We have been contacted by a breeder that is closing down and wants their Westies to come to WRSE.
We are making arrangements but will need help.
We will be calling foster families on our list but know we will need more help. We are looking for volunteers to foster.
In addition, if you have a application to adopt on file and would like to be considered for a Foster to Adopt option please message us.
****Things to note before contacting us to foster these pups.*****
There are 14 dogs to be placed, they have been in a breeding facility so they are NOT house trained and know nothing of living life inside a home.
They have been with other dogs their entire life so being with a resident dog shouldn’t be an issue. (Not cat tested)
This effort is going to take a great deal of coordination and will need volunteers willing to travel to the dogs location (TBD) for pick up. Most likely it will be in the greater Charlotte area.
A fenced yard is required for fosters and adopting homes. Especially with dogs that have lived their lives in a kennel because they are a flight risk.
No children under the age of 10 in the home.
These dogs are sweet, but will be scared and need time and patience. We have had dogs from this breeder in the past and once they have come out of their shells all became amazing happy family members.
Westies, as we know, are smart and they learn quickly how to adapt.
For those interested in fostering/fostering to adopt, this is how it works.
The dogs, in foster, belong to the rescue while getting medical checkups and spay/neuter surgeries. Once the dog has been cleared you have the option to adopt the dog. If the dog doesn’t seem to be the right fit for your family we can find another adopter at that time.
While in foster, WRSE makes all decisions about the dogs care and will pay for everything they need, food, supplies and medical expenses. Once adopted they become the adopters financial responsibility.
The link below is to our application forms. Please select volunteer form and fill it out to considered, yes even if you have an adoption application on file. We need this form completed for WRSE liability purposes while fostering.
Westierescuesoutheast.org/applications
If you can’t foster but would like to help please consider donating. The donation links are on our website westierescuesoutheast.org/donations

Thank you for your continued support! Because of that we can help Westies find their forever happy.

We love getting updates from our adopters!! I think it is safe to say Bam Bam is loving his new life🥰

We are looking for a foster home for a bonded pair. One of the pair has ongoing medical care needed so it must be near a veterinarian specialist. Ideally in the Charlotte NC or Columbia SC area. They are ok with other dogs. Haven’t been cat tested, so no cats or small children in the home. If you can help please fill out the application through the link below. https://www.cognitoforms.com/WestieRescueSouthEast/VOLUNTEERAPPLICATION **Please note we are turning off comments to our post due to the scammers that continually post in our comments section. We spend a lot of time removing and blocking them.**

What a great day for a “Gotcha Day” for Ollie on National Rescue Dog Day! We are so happy for him and the Stanton family. Ollie now has Westie brother to be his forever playmate.

Tolle the senior pup, so many of you sent well wishes and donations to help, is getting better and better by the day. He is starting to act like a typical westie. He isn’t completely out of the woods yet but it is so nice seeing him feeling better.

We wish you a Merry Christmas 🎄

Update on Taco(10 months old) He has now been introduced to other dogs and does well. This is great news because this opens up options for potential homes for him. We still prefer someone located in the greater Charlotte area so he can continue his progress with his trainer. A calm household with NO children or frequently visiting children. Ideally a female only home but possibly with a male that is very patient to his trust issues from his previous life. He is not a “cuddly” westie. Because he is a young dog he will be most likely a 15+year commitment. He loves toys especially fetching a ball. If interested please fill out the application in the link below. *Taco is the dog without a harness in the video* https://www.cognitoforms.com/WestieRescueSouthEast/_2022westierescuesoutheastadoptionapplication

Taco ( formerly Cisco) loves his toys and his dog bed💕. If you would like information about him please see our previous post on our page.

Sweet little Maverick (now Knox) was given clearance from the surgeon to finally be a puppy. Obviously missing one leg isn’t slowing him down and he is loving his new sister. 🥰 We are thrilled this baby has had such a happy ending to his horrific start in life. Thank you to everyone for your love and support. We couldn’t do what we do without you.
