The month of October is breast cancer awareness. This disease affects many women and their loved ones and it also affects our beloved and faithful pets as well. Our beautiful 13 year old, Star was diagnosed with mammary gland cancer. With the terrific care of her vet, the tender loving care of her foster family, we are thrilled to report that Star is cancer free with the expectations of a normal Westie life span.

We are even more delighted to announce that Star has been adopted! Her new family heard about her and took one look at this loving, senior Westie, and her new mum, Ashton said “I love her and want her.” Star will live out the remainder of her life with a loving, caring family who will bring joy, happiness and kindness to Lone Star Westie Rescue’s beautiful, amazing shining Star. Twinkle on sweet girl with your marvelous new humans and new Westie bro, Miles.

Star Needs a Furever Home:

My name is Mitzi and I’m a lively Westie girl about three years old. When I came to LSWR I was pretty skinny, but now I’m starting to put on a little weight. And I’ve gotten back my energy — just ask the squirrels that try to come into our back yard! One day my foster dad brought me back from a walk in the park and we found two bunny rabbits and three squirrels playing in the front yard. I could have caught at least a couple of them if I hadn’t been dragging my foster dad around on the end of his leash.

My fosters tell everybody how affectionate I am. I love to curl up next to someone and take a nap. And it takes me only a few seconds to make friends with anyone I meet. When I meet a new dog I check him out pretty closely, but I’m a little reserved. And I confess I sometimes give my foster brother some grief, especially if he’s getting too much attention from my foster dad or mom. So I may be better off in a home where I can be the queen dog.

The doggy doctor says I’m healthy; I just need to add a little weight. And I’ll be getting a dental cleaning soon.

So please complete our Online Application if you’d like to know more about me. I’m really ready for my new home.

Hello…my name is Kaden and I’m around 2-3 years young.  I am a very healthy little Westie and I am enjoying a new start.

I love to chase tennis balls, bringing it back, is a skill I am still working on.  I play really well with all my foster buddies and get along great with them.  I am working on the “sit” command and mastering that skill quite fast.  I am most comfortable when I am within sight of you.  My favorite place is in your lap, but if that is not possible around you is second best.  I’m a bit scared of my foster dad but I am working on conquering that fear.   My foster parents are doing a great job working with me and they say I continue to change every day.  They said I grows less fearful each day and what a brave little boy I am.

I’m learning so many social skills and new things in foster care so my new owners must have patience with me.  I do not like to feel trapped.  I get along great with my other foster buddies and I will blossom with another furry friend so my new family MUST have another furry friend for me.  I have gained so much confidence and I get smarter and smarter every day.  I walk very well on the leash and love walks.  I am neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped so I am ready to meet my great new family.  Could that be you?  I promise you will not be disappointed!

Happy hugs & Westie kisses…Kaden

Fergie

I am an adorable 3 month old Westie female puppy.  My owner surrendered me and my littermate Sofie when her lifestyle changed and she was unable to take care of us.  I am all puppy and I love the resident Westies here. They tolerate me and I follow them everywhere and bite their necks, ears, tails and paws. I love my toys and shoes & shoe laces are excellent also.

I am a strong willed energetic ball of white fluff and I will need training to give my new owner the upper hand over my strong will as well as to occupy my curious and intelligent little brain.

If you have a lot of time to spend with a baby like me, send in that application. Better hurry because a star like me will be very popular! Lots of kisses, Fergie

Hello,

My name is Cassie and I am almost 7 years old.  Although my most recent history was as a puppy mill momma, I am your typical Westie girl.   I have a kind spirit and a large amount of curiosity.  I am currently working on house skills but, I am getting the hang of it.  I have a positive attitude and willingness to make you happy.  I have pretty darn good leash skills and I will soon be ready for long walks.  I am spayed, vaccinated, and micro-chipped.  I get along great with other dogs.

I am one busy little Westie.  The only time I am still is when I’m chewing on a treat.  Since I never really experienced the puppy stage, I am making up for it now.  I love to chase tennis balls, but I am still working on mastering the skill of bringing the ball back to my foster mom and dad.

I am great dog for someone who appreciates the incredible Westie spirit.  I am a very special girl who knows her best times are ahead.  I am a Westie survivor!  My foster family says I am a Westie delight!  So if you think you can really appreciate this “Westie delight” send in your application.  You might just hear from me.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Duffy and I am available for adoption. I am 5 yrs old and a little small at 16 lbs. The vet said I would look good up to 20 lbs. I am a retired working boy and am making the transition to family dog. I walk on a leash, sleep in a crate, play well with other dogs, and really like people. I am learning not to jump up on humans but I am so happy to be with you, it is hard!!

I wear a sumo belt in the house because sometimes I forget I am not outside and have tinkle accidents. Foster mom and I are going to dog school. I like the socializing aspect more than learning, but it will happen.

I have lots of energy and like to go on long walks. I am not a picky eater and even like some people foods: carrots, apples, rice, eggs, grilled chicken, and canned salmon. Since I didn’t have a good dental plan at the last place, my front teeth had to be removed. But don’t worry because my kibble-chompers in the back work just fine!

I am a really sweet guy (foster people say that, not just me) and would love to join your family. Send LSWR an application and let’s meet!

Look at the pictures and see how cute I am!!
