Story
MEET WESTLEY!
Westley may have started his story wandering the streets of Detroit, but this cheerful little guy is more than ready to leave his stray days behind! After being found and brought to safety, no one ever came to reclaim him. Now, at just 2 years old, Westley is getting a fresh start and searching for the family who will make sure he never has to wonder where he belongs again.
Westley is a sweet, happy fella with a playful personality and plenty of youthful energy packed into his 16-pound frame! He enjoys attention, loves playing with toys, and is always happy to get out and explore. He would be a great match for an active family looking for a companion who can keep up with adventures but is still perfectly sized for plenty of snuggles afterward.
He gets along well with other dogs and has shown no concerns around cats. Because Westley is an energetic young guy, we feel dog-savvy children who understand how to appropriately interact with dogs would be the best fit.
One of Westley’s favorite things is having the freedom to zoom around his foster family’s fenced yard. He loves stretching those little legs, exploring, playing, and burning off some energy! A securely fenced yard would be ideal in his future home so he can continue enjoying that freedom. He also enjoys going for walks and would make a great walking buddy, but he is not a good candidate for tethering.
Westley has demonstrated a good understanding of house manners and is continuing to work on crate training. He’ll be the first to tell you that being crated wasn’t exactly his idea of a good time initially! With consistency and an established routine, however, he is learning to accept it and continues to make progress.
As a Lhasa Apso mix, Westley will also require regular professional grooming and routine brushing at home to keep his coat healthy, comfortable, and looking its best.
Westley has already experienced what it’s like to be without a home. What he needs now is someone ready to give him everything that comes with being a beloved family dog—playtime, walks, adventures, structure, care, and plenty of love.
If you’re searching for a happy, playful little sidekick with a zest for life, Westley might just be your guy!
Westley is looking for a family who will love him furever!

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.
Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal’s temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.
While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.
FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
