North Atlantic Westie Rescue, Inc.'s adoption process
Additional adoption info
All prospective adopters must complete our online application to be considered for adoption. The application takes about 10 minutes to fill out, so get comfortable!
Once we receive your application, one of our volunteers reviews your information. If your application meets our eligibility criteria and is a good fit for a rescued Westie, the volunteer will follow up by phone and/or email for a screening interview. The screening interview is an opportunity for us to get to know your situation and experience with the Westie breed and dogs in general. It is also a chance for you and your family to ask questions about what’s involved in rescuing a Westie.
After a successful screening interview, the volunteer checks three personal references and a veterinarian reference. We also require a home visit, which is conducted by a local volunteer. The volunteer then brings your application to our Adoption Screening and Placement team which approves or rejects your application.
We request an adoption donation between $250 and $600 depending on the age and medical needs of the dog. Placement is made based on your household situation and the dog's needs.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
