My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, it is me... Travis!

Yes, I am adorable…it is true! But I am also difficult. Are you in interested in adopting me? Please make sure you read the entire dating profile below before inquiring or applying for me. These humans want what is best for me so they are not going to compromise on finding me my perfect furever home.

You have probably seen me around here. I have been in boarding school where they worked with me to desensitize me from some previous trauma. I graduated and am ready for a family of my very own.

The humans in my family need to have schedules and routines (believe me… I know what time it is so d not try to lie to me) and yet be kind and patient (Did I tell you, I had a rough start to life?) I have lots of energy and need walks or runs (I walk or run my foster mom 6-9 miles every day! After that I have to take her home because she gets tired but I STILL have energy to play) and playtime in a fenced yard (but only if you are out there with me) or in the house every day. I like to push boundaries (no means yes, right?) so I need people who have good discipline and are not afraid to tell me no. I need people who will take the time to get to know me and my specific needs until I trust you.

The furry friends in my family should like to play and above all else will tell me no if I get out of hand.

My furever family:

•will be an all-adult household with no contact with children (living in the house or visiting).
•will not have a cat or any other small creature to stalk and catch.
•will be a Westie (or similar) experienced household.
•will have experience with “difficult” personalities and will follow the guidance of the trainer and rescue.
•will not put me in situations with humans I does not know and trust, such as dog parks or public patios.
•will live within 4 hours of Houston, TX to minimize stress during travel and transition.

* Please note: Travis is safe with us and will stay that way until the right forever home is found. We absolutely will not consider a home in which he will come in contact with children nor one without the required experience.

Travis is 2 years old and has been fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. His adoption donation is $450 which includes 6 months heartworm preventative meds, free microchip registration, and a safety harness.

If you are interested in adopting Travis, please review the adoption process and fill out the application on our website: www.wsrh.com. *** Please describe your experience with dogs with behavioral issues.

All dogs are available until “Adoption Pending” is noted next to their names. WSRH DOES NOT HAVE A PUBLIC SHELTER. ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE FOSTERED IN PRIVATE HOMES. Approved adopters only will be invited to meet the dogs.
