We have great news about our special Hope.  She had a vet checkup this past week and she is looking fabulous.  She received her last set of vaccinations and can now get a grooming.  She is still a little sensitive when being picked up, but her foster mum is working hard to get her used to it.  It has been confirmed that with all the prior ear infections not being treated she is probably deaf.  But she is getting along great in her foster home.  She weighs 25 pounds and will be getting a dental and a benign cyst on her belly removed in the next couple of weeks.

Hope’s foster mom says she has more energy these days and follows her and her Westies around the house and yard.  Hope still enjoys her siestas and there are plenty of beds around her foster home.  LSWR is excited about Hope’s future and thanks her super foster mum for loving and caring for such a great little girl.

P.S. Hope’s foster mum reports that Hope sleeps with her tongue sticking out and that it is the cutest thing on the planet.

Hello world, my name is Snoopy.  Life is hard when you are on your own but with Lone Star Westie Rescue life can get pretty awesome.  They took me to the doggie doctor first thing and got me all checked out and did all kinds of stuff to me but in the end I got an A+.  They say I’m ready for my new furever home right now.  Remember I am a 2 yrs old and still considered a puppy.  I have lots of energy and love playing with my foster brothers, love toys, and chasing squirrels. I need a family that has lots of energy, too.  Thank you Lone Star Westie Rescue for saving my life and I can’t wait for my furever home.

XOXO Snoopy

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
