Volunteer Opportunities

North Atlantic Westie Rescue operates entirely through the service of unpaid volunteers. We are a team of rescuers who believe 100 percent in the mission of rescue. Every single one of our volunteers has owned (or is owned by) Westies or small dogs. We are always on the look out for volunteers who believe in our core principles and wish to contribute to our programs.
