Thank you for your interest in our organization. Due to the popularity of our program, North Atlantic Westie Rescue is prioritizing intake of dogs who have complex needs that make them difficult to place or who are deemed “unadoptable.” As such, North Atlantic Westie Rescue prioritizes:
- Seniors (8 years of age or up)
- Dogs with chronic illnesses or disabilities
- Dogs with terminal illness
- Dogs with behavioral conditions requiring medication
Our organization takes all “little white dogs” and other terriers, so it is not essential that your dog be a Westie as long as the above criteria are met.
We are committed to referring you to an organization that can help you with your dog if we are not equipped to meet the needs of your dog. Please understand that we may not have a foster home available at the time that you call and might need some time to locate a suitable placement. Shelters often euthanize dogs who bite or who have poor health, so call us and wait for us to call back. We are unpaid volunteers.
If you need to surrender your dog, please call or text Karen Errichetti at:
