WRNT maintains an active list of Forever Parents eager to provide a loving home to a rescued Westie.

Westies are NOT for everyone.  They're not lap dogs and they're not always suitable for small children.  If you want an active, eager member of the family, then consider a Westie.  While small on the outside, the Westie is imbued with an overabundance of spirit.  Intelligent and inquisitive, Westies demand to be "in the thick of things" and won't settle for less.

Key Benefits

• WRNT maintains an active list of Forever Parents.
• Forever Parents are screened to confirm they can provide a good home to an active Westie.
• WRNT acts as "Parent Of Last Resort" in the event a Forever Parent cannot keep or maintain their Westie.

Capabilities

Through screening, support and contact, WRNT helps to ensure every adopted Westie, and their Forever Parents, have the tools necessary to create a successful Westie family.  In the event an adoptive parent can not properly care for their Westie, WRNT stands ready to accept that dog back into the program.

Forever Parents

WRNT maintains a list of good homes - Forever Parents who are eager to love and care for an abused or neglected Westie.  It's important to note that some of the Westies that come through our program have already been through a lot of trauma.  It takes a special kind of family to accept and understand what their Westie has been through.  WRNT takes great care to ensure that the prospective family is aware of the difficulties they may face, and to support them in making a successful home for their new Westie.

Support

WRNT provides emotional and practical support tools to help the new Forever Family care for their new Westie.  Normally a self-confident, cheerful little dog, abused and neglected Westies often have special needs.  WRNT will assist the new Forever Parent with referrals to appropriate health-care providers, trainers and our volunteers - we want our Forever Parents and their new Westie to be successful.

Last Resort

WRNT requires all prospective adopters to sign and understand our policy with regard to adoption: All WRNT Westies are spayed or neutered prior to adoption.  No WRNT Westie will ever be used for breeding purposes.  No WRNT Westie will ever be sold, given, loaned or otherwise provided to a commercial entity for any reason whatsoever.  In the event an adoptive parent can no longer care for their Westie, WRNT stands ready to bring that Westie back into the program.  Once a Westie has passed through the WRNT program they will ALWAYS have a home with us.
