Westie, West Highland White Terrier puppies and dogs in Nebraska

THIS POST WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE DOG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION STATUS WILL NOT BE RETURNED. We don’t want to “Gild the Lily”, but we think our little Lilly is pretty darn fabulous! Lilly the Westie found her way to Wag N Train after being released from the commercial dog breeding industry. Her baby-making days are over and she is ready to live out the best rest of her life as a pet. Lilly is four years old, and loves toys, going on walks, and snuggling on the couch with her foster ma. She is the sweetest pup and she really loves the pet life! Due to her past, Lilly is slow to warm up to other people and dogs, but with proper introductions, she enjoys meeting new friends. She prefers women but tolerates men. She will realize they are equally snuggleable with time, patience, and maybe a few treats from a sweet man. While she doesn’t have foster dog siblings, her foster ma feels she may be okay with other similarly sized dogs with easy-going personalities. She does live with two cats and does fine with them. As for human siblings, older dog-savvy kiddos are preferred. Lilly is spayed, has had her teeth cleaned, and is up to date on vaccinations. She is kennel trained, walks well on a leash, and is nearly there with potty training. With time and routine, Lilly is sure to find success in the yard rather than the house. Speaking of the yard, a securely fenced yard is required for Lilly as she takes her squirrel patrol duties very seriously and would like to secure the perimeter at her new home as well. Lilly is ready to be your girl and if you think she is the one for you, apply today! The suggested adoption donation for Lilly 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

Paige Located in Sidney NE area Terrier fusion  5ish years old Dog friendly Cat friendly we were told but current foster doesn’t have cats  No kids or OLDER calmer kids only  House trained but will need a refresher when she moves homes  Crate trained, knows a couple of commands but will need a refresher course Does have luxating patella’s that were a big issue when she was rotund however since losing weight she has had no issues  Will bite if pushed or scared  Must eat seperately  Had a horrible ingrown dewclaw which we had corrected, she’s not a fan of nail trims so will likely need a professional to do them. Was obese but we have really worked on it, much to her dismay, and she has slimmed down Up to date on vaccines and routine vetting but still needs to have her umbilical hernia repaired and some X-rays done 15-20lbs approx    Paige was dumped at a VERY high kill shelter in CA and faced euth. We pulled her and after some time in a foster home transported up to us. Upon arrival we immediately noticed she morphed right into the pack at her foster home but getting her to trust the humans took a bit more time. Eventually she warmed up. We began working on her weightloss and the more exercise she got obviously the more weight she lost and the more confidence she gained. She has now blossomed into quite the little loaf of a lady. She seeks attention and gently will pick up and rest her paw on your lap/leg over and over until you show her the love she desires. She wouldn’t do well in a home with a lot of chaos or loud young children. Her current foster has a lot of dogs and she has settled in to that chaos but clearly would prefer to not deal with that either haha. When she was fatter we could easily see she had bad luxating patella’s, since she had lost weight we haven’t seen any issues with them. When she goes under to have her large umbilical hernia repaired she will get X-rays and we will see what the vet thinks from there. Also she seems to have some sensitivity around her ribs on her left side, not sure if it’s because she was so fat she wasn’t able to turn her body that direction and so has a sensitivity or what, we will have it checked out at the same time. Paige needs a home that understands despite her constantly acting hungry she cannot free feed, like a lot of us, she will eat her feelings. She also needs low resistance exercise, short walks work just fine. Most of the time Paige is a couch dweller. Paige is NOT a dog that could be happy in a home where she’s not allowed on furniture, it’s literally one of her greatest life pleasures. She loves to cuddle ON HER TERMS and constantly enjoys a Netflix marathon, she’s partial to “Pitch Perfect” movie marathons, serial killer documentaries and “Girlmore Girls.”    She is house trained but she is going to have an adjustment period in a new home as she did when moved to her foster up here. Lucky she’s extremely food motivated hahaha. Paige has the cutest HUGE eyes that literally make it impossible not to adore her. Her cute little loaf shaped body, scruffy hair and rounded expressive ears make her so unique and impossible not to love. She literally just makes you smile every time you look at her. When she is scared she will air snap, however once adjusted that’s extremely rare. She isn’t destructive and really doesn’t need to kennel when you’re gone, but must eat separately.  This sweet and dainty girl, despite her cubish appearance, deserves a calm and patient home that will love her for exactly who she is now and help her to reach her full potential. If you think that this home could be yours please contact us!    Original Write Up Paige is one of a pair of dogs we pulled from CA. When these owner surrenders arrived to the shelter for whatever reason the shelter it only separated them but moved one to another campus! Paige immediately shut down. She became depressed and wasn't an adoption option, this meant she was a euth candidate. We couldn't stand it so we pulled them both to safety. When in a foster what we learned was  that the girls, while they liked each other, were not bonded once they adjusted to a new environment. I fact Paige kinda scared Peyton haha. On her transport layover Peyton captured the heart of an amazing veterinarian who asked to adopt her.  We couldn’t have asked for a better home for her and so we were elated to have Peyton find her people. However, we have this sweet misunderstood little lady that needs a super patient and compassionate home.   We are sure there is an amazing home out there for the fantastic scruffy misunderstood lil muppet, is it you??   To Contact Us Message us through our website http://www.highplainspaw.org Message the Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/HighPlainsPAW Join and contact us through our FOSTER GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/836373273962895/?ref=share Fill out our Adoption Application at https://www.highplainspaw.org/adoption-application Fill out our Foster Application at  https://www.highplainspaw.org/foster-application Email us at highplainspaw@gmail.com Call our VOICEMAIL at (402)957-1578    $200.00 Adoption Fee  (Which is considered a non refundable donation and being we are a 501c3 organization it is tax deductible.
