Here's what the humans have to say about me:
THIS POST WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE DOG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION STATUS WILL NOT BE RETURNED.
Ivy is a 2 year old purebred Westie with a happy, lively personality! She likes to play and be chased by other dogs, enjoys walks and doesn't want to be left behind! She enjoys her human and canine companions and will definitely ask for attention. At times she gets pretty excited and energetic but we are working on a nice calm sit to help her learn what's expected in order to get attention. Her new family may need to continue working on this with her. Due to living her formative years in a commercial breeding facility, Ivy never had the chance to be a "puppy" and she is making up for lost time. A home that can keep her physically and mentally challenged will be ideal.
Ivy has struggled with submissive and excitement urination but foster family stresses energy management and they attempt to keep the excitement level to a minimum to reduce the likelihood of "accidents".
While Ivy walks nicely on leash, she would prefer a fenced yard and a resident terrier to romp and play with. She has lived with older children without issues.
The suggested adoption donation for Ivy is a minimum of $700 and goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs.Wag N Train Terrier Rescue adopts to an extended geographical area as long as we can locate a local volunteer to perform the required home visit. Approved adopters are required to travel to Omaha, NE to pick up their newly adopted dog. We do not arrange transport, or fly our rescue dogs without a "pet nanny". All of our dogs that come from a commercial breeding facility require a securely fenced yard AND a resident companion dog, unless the dog's bio states otherwise. Please note, invisible or underground fencing is not considered secure or appropriate containment. Adoption applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information
