LSWR received Westies through multiple channels. Some are strays turned in directly to the organization. Some are from owners surrendering their Westie due to finances, health or family situations. We also receive Westies from over-filled animal shelters and from puppy mills and hoarder seizures.

General Information

We organize vet checks, adoptions, fostering, educational and public awareness campaigns. We operate fund raising in order to cover the medical care and attention our intake and foster Westies require and we help direct current owners to behavioral and/or medical sites to help treat their current Westie’s needs.
