West Highland Terrier puppies and dogs in Danbury, Connecticut

Hey, I’m Birch! I’m a 3-year-old purebred Westie and I weigh about 20 pounds. I may be small, but oh boy do I have a big heart! I spent my early life in a puppy mill, so a lot of things are still new to me—but I’m discovering the world with curiosity and joy. Playing outside is a recent (and very exciting!) development, and snow might be my favorite thing ever. I love trotting around and learning how fun life can be. I’m a gentle, sweet soul who does wonderfully with other dogs and with kids of all ages. I really shine when I’m close to my people and snuggling is one of my specialties, especially if you scratch under my chin. I’m also starting to learn the magic of toys—squeaky stuffed ones are at the top of my list—and I can’t wait to master fetch. I’m crate trained and adjusting beautifully to home life. And yes, I know my haircut is a little silly right now— but once my coat grows in I’ll look like the Westies you’re used to seeing (maybe even cuter)! What I want most is a safe, loving family where I can keep learning, playing, and being someone’s very good boy.

Nice to meet you all! I’m Ella — a 3-year-old, 16-pound Westie with a gentle heart and a brand-new chance at life. I started my life in a puppy mill, where love and comfort were hard to come by, and I never really got to be a “normal” dog. But those days are finally behind me. I’m out, I’m safe, and I’m with a foster family now, learning what it means to live in a real home and be loved. They wanted me to share with you that I’m a quiet, sweet, and loving girl. I’m also good with other dogs so if you already have a four-legged friend at home, I would happy to be their sibling. What I need most is kindness and to be cherished for the sweetie pie I am. I’m looking for a forever family who will show me what it truly means to belong! Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org).

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 Meet Milo! 🧃 💙 Name: Milo 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 4 years old (Born in May 2021) 💙 Weight: 5.65 kg / 12.46 lb 💙 Milo's Updates Account: @foster_zip_ 1️⃣ Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped. * Is allergic to salmon, so you should check the ingredients before feeding any kibble or treats. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * While at the Gimje City Shelter, Milo always had a sad expression and would sit quietly in a corner. He seemed to be scared — whenever someone approached, he would quickly retreat and hide. To prevent his fear and stress from worsening, Adogs rescued him. 3️⃣ Basic Information * With People: Is shy around strangers and feels uncomfortable with sudden touches — he may yawn or lick his lips when uneasy. Feels more uncomfortable with middle-aged females than males. Among his foster family members, he seems to feel particularly uncomfortable around the mother but the relationship with her is improving step by step. Once he becomes familiar with someone, he allows cuddles and belly rubs, gives kisses, and even enjoys being held. When he feels affectionate, he gently boops with his nose and gazes lovingly at you. Expresses his affection to foster parent by exposing his tummy. It is important to take time to allow him to open up. * With Dogs: Tends to have no interest in other dogs whom he encountered at his foster home. Was aloof but got along with other dogs without trouble at our center and dog school. * With Cats: Shows no interest in cats. * Separation Anxiety: Displays no signs of separation anxiety. * Potty Training: Uses pee pads and artificial grass indoors. Never goes on a pad that’s already been used and folds it — he’ll wait for a clean one. Poops every 2 to 3 days. Tends to eat his poop, so it would be better to clean it up right after he potties. * Hygiene: Is a little scared when sprayed with the showerhead, but overall handles baths well and doesn’t mind the use of a hair dryer. Enjoys being brushed, and when in a good mood, he will even lie down comfortably during grooming. However, he doesn’t like his paws being touched, so there’s a chance he might give a warning punch (using his mouth) during nail trimming. It’s best to hold him securely and clip the nails quickly. * Walks: Is a little scared of the outdoors, and had a panic attack previously. Is currently getting training indoors for walking. During leash training indoors, when the leash is tugged briefly to signal for him to go, he runs straight to another space and then runs back to his dog bed. Feels nervous and pants when people try to stop him during such time. Has been more resisting the leash lately, so we paused the walk training for now. * Car Sickness: No motion sickness. Stays calm and quiet in a kennel during travel. * No biting behavior. * Rarely barks. When he wants to drink water or needs to potty, he whines a little. Whines at his foster parent as a signal to clean up after he potties. Sometimes barks timidly at the parents of the caregiver. * Enjoys relaxing alone in his kennel. Is a true treat lover — meats like boiled chicken breast and duck jerky are his favorites! * Sudden movements or unexpected touches can startle him. Especially when a stranger tries to hold his feet, he may growl and snarl his lips. When strangers try to hold him for more than a minute, he will make potty accidents. Is very sensitive to outside noises when he’s indoors and he growls. During training, if he gets stressed, he pees and runs away. Is sensitive about having his paw touched, so he’s undergoing desensitization training.

4 months old Freya is only 8 lb at the moment and may not grow more than 15. She is located in Texas but can be transported to other states and even Canada to the right home. She is treated like a Princess at her foster home, where she sleeps with her 7 year old foster sister. Start your application to adopt this princess via www.savesomesouls.com Freya and her sister Frida were found by a busy freeway with their mother Fiona by a Good Samaritan who saved their lives. She looked for their home but after 2 weeks when no one claimed them, she surrendered them to our rescue. Freya is very loving and super adorable. She is quiet and patient, and is crate trained and housebroken. Freya lives with her foster brother Buster (see picture), and four kitty foster siblings. She is current on all her shots. She is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative and kept on deworming schedule, and heartworm and flea preventative. She is currently being fostered in Texas, but can travel to any state, even Canada to the right home. Freya's adoption fee includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter surgery and recovery, heartworm and flea prevention), a microchip with free lifetime registration, GPS tracker, Harness, leash and a high quality nylon Martingale collar. To meet this gorgeous pup via facetime or whatsapp or other video chat apps, please send a completed application via www.savesomesouls.com Yards, if any, must be adequately and fully fenced to adopt our pups. We do not accept electric or underground fences. Our dogs are fully assessed by foster parents, vets and behaviorists, as well as videos and video chats are available to observe their manners in public. We are extremely transparent and like to share everything negative and positive with the adopters, to ensure it's a good fit and they are not returned to us, as the trips are very stressful on them. Houston is home to million strays, many who are abandoned, many born on the streets, many who escaped while living in the yard, which is common in Texas. Since our rescue does not get grants that shelters get, we use adoption fee to help the pups and kitties in our care. Your adoption fee goes towards vetting and feeding our long term and permanent fosters, and unadoptable pups, as well as towards the monthly care and preventatives etc of our pets. By adopting one pup from our rescue, you make room for another dog to be rescued from our high kill shelters, thus becoming an integral part of our mission to save as many unfortunate dogs off the streets and the shelters as possible. So Thank you for choosing to rescue, and not go to a breeder.

This cutie is Marcel Marvelous. He is currently 1 month old and weighs approximately 1.9 pounds. We think they may be a Highland Terrier mix, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place. Watch Marcel's playful personality here: https://youtu.be/LqCp_nOaOGQ?si=PohCedrh5VKO51R4 Marcel is playful, sweet, curious, and cuddly. He loves to play with his siblings and take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat- such is puppy life! We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Marcel is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving at their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well-rounded adult dog. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.    The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter.

Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.   It doesn’t stop there!
