Is it still raining? Better stay inside! ❤️ Fritzi and Benji

Fritzi is estimated to be 2 years old and is getting used to life without her puppies. She’s learning to trust humans and is looking for a patient home that will give her time to adjust and observe before coming for pets. She loves to follow other dogs around to learn what’s safe so another dog in her furever home is a must!

Benji is now between 4-5 years old. He came to Wescue a while ago from a local shelter, has been treated for heartworms, and is still looking for his furever home. Benji is blind, likely something he was born with, so he needs a patient and calm home where he can hear and smell his way around. Benji LOVES lap time with his foster mom and will transfer that to his furever parent with patience, love, and treats.

Did somebuddy say PUPPIES??! We have puppies! Meet Emme and Hannah, 12 week old sisters looking for their own furever homes.

Hannah and Emme came to Wescue from their previous owner when they were deferred from being surrendered to a local shelter. These adorable little terrier-mix girls are expected to stay small even when they are fully grown. We have taken them to the dogtor, dewormed them, and started vaccines. Since they had no vetting prior to Wescue, they will need booster shots before they can go out in public or other shared areas. But that shouldn’t stop you from loving and spoiling them at home in the meantime.

The girls are looking for separate homes where they will be “foster to adopt,” with the adoptions becoming final after all vaccines and spays. If you would like to adopt one of these sweethearts, apply online: WSRH.com

Prince is estimate to be 4 years old and weighs about 8 lbs. He does well with the other dogs at his foster home and loves to go on walks. Expect a cuddlebug with Prince, who will likely insist on sleeping with you in the big bed.

Stewart hopes you got to get out and enjoy this beautiful day! He also hopes you remember to give heartworm prevention to your furry friends!

Stewart wasn’t lucky enough to have people who cared about him before he came to Wescue. He tested heartworm positive and was suffering from Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), so his little body was unable to digest and absorb nutrients. We have been treating Stewart and now he is healthy enough to take the next step: he will have neuter surgery and a dental tomorrow then, after he heals, he will start heartworm treatment.

Stewart will soon be ready for a home of his own. Is it with you?

Stewart weighs around 10 lbs and is an adult, but his condition makes estimating his age very difficult. He is comfortable sleeping in a dog bed or any stuffed animal that seems comfy. He gets a long with other dogs but doesn’t need them in his forever home. Stewart will be happy to tell you when it’s meal time and his EPI is easily managed with enzymes mixed into his food which he happily eats (and asks for seconds).

Need a good walk between turkey leftovers and football? Harold would be happy to walk you!

Remember him? We introduced him a few months ago when he finished heartworm treatment and went into training. Harold came to Wescue last winter after a he was surrendered to a cruelty investigator by his previous owners who left him outside in the extreme cold. He was identified as a terrier so we were asked if we could help, and we said yes to save his life.

Curiosity got to us and a friend donated a DNA test so we decided to find out Harold’s ancestry. Imagine our surprise to learn he is primarily Chow/Shih Tzu mix.

Harold is about 3-4 years old and weighs around 25 pounds. He's a little shy at first, but once he comes around, WATCH OUT... he's a total love bug! Harold loves playing with his other 4-legged foster friends and playing "Chase me around the house while I carry your laundry in my mouth," with his foster mom. He is crate trained, house trained, walks well on a leash, and knows basic commands.

Because of his uncertainty around humans, Harold would not be suitable for a home with children under the age of 12. He absolutely loves toys and totes them about so everyone can admire his good fortune. Harold's hobbies include plowing through sticker bushes, giving hugs, car trips, and cheese tastings. He dislikes all green foods but is glad to sample anything else you have to offer.

Harold has finished his schooling and is looking for the perfect home for the holidays. If you are interested in Harold, apply online at wsrh.com

Today we remember Peppermint 💔

Sweet Peppermint came to wescue after her owner was moved to a care home. She was 14, had bad teeth, and a heart condition so we took her into our Furever Friend program and one of our special foster homes welcomed her like one of their own. Her foster mom often said she was the best dog, always happy and loved to follow her around.

At a recent vet visit, we found Peppermint had a tumor and yesterday it was confirmed it was cancer and had metastasized. Our commitment to Peppermint was to provide her care and love until she was ready to cross the rainbow bridge. We just weren’t expecting her to be ready so soon.

Peppermint crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday surrounded by people who loved and cared for her. Now she’s surrounded by many of our furry friends that were waiting for her. 🌈

Loving seniors can be hard. We can’t thank her foster mom, Marilyn, enough for all of the love and care she provided sweet Peppermint since she came to wescue.

Run free, sweet girl. You will be missed.🌈💔

On this day in 1889, New York World reporter Nellie Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane) began her attempt to surpass the fictitious journey of Jules Verne's Phileas Fogg by traveling around the world in under 80 days. She succeeded, finishing the trip in 72 days, 6 hours.

Today our little Nellie Bly begins her journey to a new life, joining Wescue after being given away on Craigslist. 9 year old Nellie is seeing the dogtor today and will be looking for a furever family once we know more about what she needs. Apply online if you would like to be considered: WSRH.com

Did you know today is World Kindness Day? It’s a day to highlight kindness and compassion, and what better way to do that than to help a pup like Isabella.

Isabella is a sweet, happy little Scot who loves stuffy toys, soft beds, and bossing the humans around. She was found one evening at dusk wandering on a street by herself. One eye was sealed shut from gunk, her ears were badly infected, and she was skinny and covered in fleas. And she has a very large mammary tumor. The Good Samaritan who found her started her care and reached out to WSRH to take her in.

Isabella has been to our dogtors where we learned that she also has heartworms. Her heartworm infestation is severe and the cardiologist insists that she go through treatment before considering surgery for the tumor.

Until we can remove and biopsy the tumor, we have no way of knowing Isabella’s prognosis but we know she is happy and sassy so we want to make sure she has the best possible chance at a good quality of life. We are following dogtors’ orders and taking it step by step - the next step is injections to get rid of heartworms.

Isabella starts her injections tomorrow and will need to be kept calm for the next two months. If you live in the area and would like to foster her, please send an email to [email protected]

Isabella’s care has been and expensive, and there is more to come. If you would like to contribute toward her medical and happiness bills, you can donate through this post or:

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month and we have some senior furry friends looking for their furever homes… is it with you?

Meet Ruby!

Sweet Ruby came to wescue after her former owner was tragically killed. A kind person reached out and asked if we could help her find a furever home, and we couldn’t say no. Ruby is about 10 years old and weighs about 9 lbs. she LOVES to cuddle on the couch and loves to sleep quietly next to your legs at night. She does well with dogs of all ages and sizes and loves all humans big and small. She has not been around cats in her foster home but her sweet and easy going personality makes us believe she would be just fine.

Ruby gets excited when she sees the leash and happily takes you on walks. After walks she enjoys snoozing on the couch so a comfy couch is a must.

Ruby is working on growing hair back with a good diet and regular baths. She is scheduled for a dental in a few weeks but can easily move into your heart and home while she waits.

There’s something magical about Wescue… this sweet boy was abandoned by his original owner and banished to live in the yard. A caring family member reached out to us to help him so he is on the way to healing.

We’ve named him Merlin because he is in for some Wescue magic. He was full of fleas and intestinal parasites that robbed him of nutrients, and it was no surprise to learn he is heartworm positive. First we got rid of the fleas and parasites, then gave him medicated baths to help heal his skin from those bites.

Merlin has been neutered and is starting his prep work to get rid of heartworms. Know what is most magical? Merlin has a forever home ready to foster him through heartworm treatment and love him furevermore❤️

*Merlin has been matched with a previously approved applicant who has been waiting for a friend just like him. If you would like to be on the waiting list for a Westie, Scottie, or Cairn, please complete an online application and be patient! A volunteer will contact you when we think we have a match: WSRH.com

Whiskey knows the importance of heartworm preventative since he’s finished heartworm treatment and is looking for his furever family for those extra rainy day cuddles. Is it with you?
