Let’s talk microchips…

You may have seen reports lately about a microchip registry which has gone dark, deleting all registrations. If you adopted a dog from WSRH, your adoption included registration with PetLink or AVID (prior to 2015) and your microchips are safe!

If you cannot find or think you didn’t receive confirmation of the registration transfer, please send an email to us with the name and year you adopted so we can look into it. Please don’t comment below with the information- we need email for the registration.

Did you know sometimes microchips fail? It’s a good idea to ask your vet to scan the microchip with your pet’s annual checkup to make sure it is still in place and working.

Remember to keep your registration up to date with current contact numbers, medication needs, and back up contacts.

For more information, send us an email: [email protected]

We have another special intake today. One of the shelters we have pulled from before reached out asking for help for Poppy, a young, sweet Maltese mix who was picked up as a stray after being hit by a car. Poppy’s leg is broken and requires surgery so the shelter contacted various rescues to help, but none could. Like Wescue, most rescues in this area are overwhelmed with the number of pets who are needing homes.

We took one look at Poppy and knew we had to help if we could so a wonderful volunteer gave her a ride to Neighborhood Veterinary Centers - Nederland, where she will be having surgery today to repair her leg. Poppy is heartworm positive so as she recovers from surgery, she will start preparing for treatment to kill the heartworms. WSRH could use a foster to help with Poppy’s recovery and treatment, and her foster would have first option to adopt: WSRH.com

Poppy’s surgery and treatment will be expensive (her surgery alone is around $2300). If you would like to help, your donations are greatly appreciated. You can donate through this post or:

Who’s ready for the Pupper Bowl!? 🏈

BLAIR- Coming in at just over 5 lbs, this starting player is small but mighty. His favorite hobbies include wrestling with his furry foster brothers and taking his foster mom on walks. Don’t let his tiny size fool you, he has energy that will last all day long. Do you have an opening in your starting line up? Apply for Blair at wsrh.com

Blair came into Wescue as a matted mess. Under all of those mats was a tiny little guy who LOVES to play and cuddle. Blair is estimated to be around a year. His ideal home would have another furry friend for wrestling and a comfy couch for cuddles at the end of the day of playing. He is crate trained and is making progress on his house training.

They said yes. That’s all it took to be able to save this dog.

Wescue was contacted by a shelter to take in a terrier who was jailed for doing a very terrier thing: he was out chasing bucking bulls. The owner of the bulls caught him and took him to the local shelter, where he sat unclaimed. He loved the people who worked and volunteered there, but was not doing well with the other canine residents so the shelter asked us to rescue him.

We said yes. We asked a volunteer to go to the shelter to spring him and he said yes. Another volunteer said yes, she would foster him.

Next time you see a pup in need, remember you might need to say yes. Rescues want to help and need volunteers to be able to do so. Please say yes and volunteer.

*Chase is being evaluated and soon will be available for adoption. Apply online: WSRH.com

Have you met Kevin? Kevin wants to meet you!

Wescue got a call at the end of December to help scruffy little bag of bones. A kind person found him abandoned in a park, with long nails, hardly any meat on his bones, and a tail that never quit wagging.

Kevin was found in the nick of time! He weighed 11 lbs when we got him - not much over half of his healthy weight of 19 lbs - and he was full of parasites. He needed nourishment and TLC to keep going. Lucky for Kevin, we specialize in TLC!

Kevin has been to the dogtor and has been soaking up TLC. Now he is thriving and ready for his furever home. Is it with you? Apply online: WSRH.com

Happy Monday! Do you want a GIANT dog in a tiny package? Dat’s me! My name is Becca because “bec” is Gaelic for small and I only weigh 5 lbs. Don’t think of me as a small dog, though! Fossermom says me has BIG personality!
🖤Becca

Becca is a small (5 lb!) Yorkie mix and is estimated to be around 5 years old. She gets along with other dogs (and doesn’t mind bossing them around) but isn’t interested in playing with them. She likes the attention of her humans and would love a secure yard to chase squirrels.

Whiskey looked for his shadow this morning but couldn’t remember what it was supposed to tell him. What he did remember was to take his monthly heartworm prevention!

Whiskey had heartworms when he came to WSRH and has completed treatment to get rid of them. Now he is ready for his furever home. Is it with you? Apply online: WSRH.com

Have you met Elliot?

This little guy was found as a stray and taken to a local shelter where he was terrified. He seemed like a Wescue dog so volunteers picked him up and transported him to WSRH. Elliot has since been shaved down to get rid of all of those mats and has seen the dogtor, where we learned a little more about him.

Elliot is about 6-7 years old, weighs around 14 lbs, and has good house manners. He LOVES to be with people and is looking for a home where he can follow you around. Elliot has lots of love to give and we know his furever home is waiting for him.

Have you met Russell?

You might not remember him since he looks like a new dog with his new haircut!

Russell is a sweet boy who wants to spend time with people. He gets along with other dogs but would rather follow you from room to room and take you for walks around the neighborhood.

Russell is estimated to be 6-7 years old and weighs about 11 pounds. He is a poodle mix and, with a healthy diet, his hair should grow back nice and soft.

Russell has been to the dogtor and is scheduled for a dental to clean his teeth. He has a heart murmur and is on daily medication to keep him healthy. At least 90 days’ worth of medication will be included in his adoption.

If you are looking for a furry companion to keep you warm, look no further! Apply for Russell at wsrh.com

We are mourning the loss of another member of our Wescue family this week. Longtime volunteer Dewey Goff has passed away.

Dewey and his wife, Marilyn, have been involved in Scottie rescue for at least four decades, starting in San Antonio when Dewey was at the Brooks Air Force Base, and joining the WSRH family when they moved to the Houston area following his retirement. In addition to adopting dogs and opening their home to many fosters, the Goffs have spent many hours volunteering for regular chores like grooming and baths (which often included a special song for each dog), and at many special events. Dewey also helped rescue dogs from shelters, transporting them to the safety of our intake coordinator’s home or the vet.

Our hearts are broken for Marilyn as we hold her up in our thoughts and prayers. Services are pending and information will be shared here when available.

Tonight, please snuggle up with your furry friend and sing them a special song in honor of our friend Dewey.💛

Stewart is taking advantage of the break in the cold to step outside for some sunshine. This sweet boy has come through all medical issues with flying colors and is ready for his furever home. Maybe it’s with you!

Stewart has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), which means his pancreas is not producing enough enzymes to digest food. This caused him to be malnourished and he only weighed around 7 lbs when we got him.

Figuring out what was wrong and diagnosing EPI was the hard part! Now that we know, it’s just a matter of maintenance - we mix some enzyme powder into each of his meals and he is good to go. Stewart is at a healthy weight of almost 12 lbs now and no longer cries for food throughout the day and night.

Stewart would love a home where he could be with his peeps, following you around and keeping you company. He gets along with the other pups in his foster home but does not need a canine companion. If you want a chance to welcome Stewart into your home, complete the online application: WSRH.com

There’s snow…in Houston!!! If you are getting out and about with your furry friends to enjoy this winter wonderland, remember safety first!

Blair took a short trip out to explore with his foster mom. He wore his fluffy coat and only stayed out a few minutes at a time. Now he’s back inside snuggled on the couch.

Stay warm and show us your snowy furry friend!

With the winter storm heading to Houston, more volunteers took some time to get our furry friends ready for the cold weather.
