Thelma **ADOPTED**

Tabby FullSizeRenderTabby 1FullSizeRender - 5Tabby FullSizeRender - 3

Hello, my name is Thelma, but my friends call me Tabby.  I am a young Cairn terrier mix who recently joined LSWR. My prior owner could no longer care for me and I was taken to a high kill shelter but thankful LSWR came to my aid.

I am quite the talker, very low energy and 2 years young. In fact my goal in life is to be a beautiful couch cushion accessory. I don’t play with toys much but I sure do love to be with people. I need some hugs early in the morning and when you return home from work. I’m close to mastering the potty training skills.  I am spayed, current on my shots and microchipped.  I get along great with other dogs. So I’m ready to meet my new family any day now. I would do great in any quiet household that is looking for a cutie companion like me. I am okay with children 8 years of age or older.

Come on, submit that online application and ask for me, you’ll be glad you did.

Love Thelma

Ellie **ADOPTED**

Ellie1groomed Ellie2groomed

My name is Ellie!  I am a very young and healthy puppy, estimated to be about 12 months old.  I’m spayed, microchipped and current on all my shots.  I was found wandering the city streets and picked up by a shelter.  I am a very sweet cutie patootie, love my human foster mom and Dad, especially following my foster mom around the house.

When I first came into foster care I had a strong desire to be the alpha of the pack and I needed some training to polish up my puppy manners.  I had to fend for myself and my little brother Billie when we were strays, but all that is behind me now.  I get along great with my 2 Westie foster buddies, and boy can we play and play non-stop.

I am looking for a loving family who I can shower with love and kisses.  I am just that kinda girl.  I would probably do okay with older kids and a furry doggie friend is fine by me.  If you have the time and patience for me, I promise to be your best girl friend and fill your heart with love and laughter.  So hurry and complete the online application.  I know I will steal your heart.

XOXO Ellie

*** Adopted*** Bella is looking for a Furever Home

IMG_3372 IMG_3362

My name is Bella and I am approximately 1 year old. I am a tiny little girl weighing in at 13 pounds and would not have lasted very long out on the streets. A shelter picked me up and thank goodness, LSWR came to get me.  I was very scared at the shelter but the staff at my vets said I was so good letting them examine me and all.  My doctor said, I probably have never known human touch and my foster mom would agree.  I’m in my foster home now and when my foster mom walks into the room, I run to a corner or run for cover.  So it’s going to take a little time for me you see, but despite it all, I am making progress.  I’m beginning to follow my foster mom around some now.  I have never walked on a leash so I have so many things to learn but I’m getting the hang of it.

I am spayed, microchipped and vaccinated so I am ready for my very new beginning and new life.

Look out everybody, Princess Bella is in the house and looking for her perfect family!!   If you have the love and patience I will require, please visit lswr.us and complete an online application.  I know I will steal your heart.

Love Bella

Adopted !! Buddy

Buddy FBIMG_3166  IMG_3147

Meet Buddy, our newest rescue. Buddy’s father fell ill and was unable to take care of him. LSWR was asked to help out and we were glad to take him in to our rescue.  A senior gentleman, (13 years young), Buddy is a wonderful, loving Westie. Although he has skin issues, we’ll have him healed in no time!

He’s having the time of his life in foster care playing with his foster buddies, enjoying the morning sunshine and cool breezes.  He loves the outdoors and he gets along great with other dogs.  His foster mom says he is an absolute joy!!

He needs time in foster care so we can take care of his skin issues but it won’t be long before his coat grows back!  Please check back on progress.

***Adopted*** Felix is looking for a Furever Home

Capture Felix Felix 5 Felix 1My name is Felix and I am about 2 years old, neutered, microchipped and current on all my shots.  I was found wandering along the freeway and a nice family took me in.  They tried to find my family but no one ever came for me.  They have taken great care of me but their current doggie sometimes stresses me out because he is so rambunctious.

I took my life change in stride and am fitting in well with my family but they feel I would be happier in another home.  I get along great with dogs but I think I prefer a home where I’m the only dog.  I am a very handsome boy if I say so myself. I am active and strong and weigh 19 pounds.  I enjoy long walks, playing with my toys, and love treats!

I am a smart guy and have a few tricks up my sleeve.  I passed the Canine Good Citizen test and have my ribbon and certificate.   I am really sweet and love belly rubs and relaxing with my people and I even like cats.  I am totally ready for my new life.  If you are looking for a very cool dog, seriously, I am really really cool… then jump on that application and let me hear from you!!

Meet FAMOUS AMOS the Happy-Go-Lucky Westie Imposter

Capture Mars1Capture Mars2Famous Amos (2)

Amos is a very affectionate, happy-go-lucky dog. Just looking at his endearing face brings a smile. He loves to be petted and will jump up and wrap his arms around you to give hugs. And who doesn’t need a hug after a long, stressful day?

He’s an early riser, very energetic and relishes his three-mile walks in the morning. He is working on his leash manners but knows to walk on the left hand side and stays by your heel – most of the time. A few more lessons and he will have mastered the subject. He sits quietly before you serve meals loves a snooze afterwards.

Amos is house trained and very quiet – he has yet to bark! He knows the furniture is off-limits and is content to rest on one of his beds or under your desk when you’re hard at work. He loves people and while we haven’t had him in the park to play with other dogs, we think he would do very well. He’s just one of those guys who takes everything in his stride – nothing seems to ruffle him.

Endowed with superhero skills, he can leap a two-foot dog gate from a standstill and doesn’t like to be crated so he might do best in home where he’s not left alone all day and one where he doesn’t have spend time in a crate.

He is looking for an active family who will spend lots of time with him.  Just look at that face!!  He is the happiest little guy on the planet.

Scruffy is looking for a furever home!!!

unnamed3Scruffy 3 unnamed unnamed2

Scruffy here; the newest addition to the LSWR group.   As you can see by my photos, I’m a good looking fella, laid back and like lots of love.  Kids and cats like me because I’m pretty chill and my foster mom says I have good barking manners.  I get very excited when it’s time to go outside, super excited when the humans come home and I do love my squeaky toys!! I’m a 6 or 7 year old male, but who’s counting.  I’ve got this great place to stay while some of my skin issues clear up, but I’m on the market for a new pad.

If you are looking for a new addition to your family, I’m looking for a forever home!

Hope to meet my new family soon!!

Hi Friends,

I’m Rowan, HAPPY to be here with LSWR.   I’m not sure how I ended up at a shelter but thanks to LSWR and my foster mom for bailing me out.

I’m estimated to be 1 – 2 years old and weigh 13 lbs.  I am a fun and active small boy with lots of energy!  When it comes to playtime, I go 90 miles an hour and then conk out for a nice nap.  I’m also quite content to sit in my foster mom’s lap when she’s in her favorite chair.

I’m housetrained, crate trained and I walk well on a leash.  When I’m on my walk, I like to take my time and smell the flowers and take in the cool crisp air.  I get along with other dogs so a playmate is fine by me.  I am ready for my new home and I know my perfect family will snatch me up very soon.

I have lots of love to give you!  Is there a place in your heart for me?

If you want me to be a part of your family, please fill out an adoption application at http://www.lswr.us

Hugs & Kisses,

Rowan

******* Adopted******* Charlie is looking for a “fur-ever” home

Charlie Untitled Charlie Untitled 2Charlie Untitled 6

Hi, I’m Charlie!

I’m a cute, white Schnauzer, around 5 years old.  I’m current on my vaccinations, neutered and microchipped, too.

Sadly, my owner’s medical needs prevented him from taking caring of me and my buddy and we were surrendered to a local shelter.  My buddy was adopted and thankfully LSWR took me in to find me a new furever home.

I’m a 14.5 lb bundle of a fun loving strong & healthy boy.  I’m smart too.  I know my name, sit and come and that’s just the beginning.  I’m potty trained, walk great on a leash and I sleep in a crate!  I like to play, run & chase birds and squirrels.  And when I hear those fire engine trucks, I mimic them.  My foster mom thinks it’s comical.  I truly enjoy the company of my foster Westies and my foster Mom & Dad.

If you need someone with a little spunk and great personality to love, I’m your guy.  Hurry and get your online adoption application in to LSWR so we can start our new life together.

XOXO

***** Adopted******* Chester is looking for a Furever Home

Chester-1Chester-2

Chester is a well rounded, happy, 1-2 year old Westie imposter.  He has a very high IQ that he doesn’t like to use when he is eating his food.  Let’s say gulping might be his worst trait.  Chester’s foster mom reports that Chester is well behaved, doesn’t bark and scream like a typical Westie, loves other dogs, tennis balls might be his favorite toy, gives random kisses, doesn’t like to sit on the furniture unless invited, and use caution when you are near the ice machine or you might get a nose bump.  Sounds like Chester might need a family with lots of energy and other dogs or maybe Chester just needs a home full of love.  Chester does have that awesome Westie trait, “love the one your with.”  Chester’s is incredibly intelligent and would fit into any situation from becoming a hunting dog to just being a lap dog.  He fits into his foster family’s home within minutes and will have no problem adjusting to a “forever” home.

Hi, I’m Daisy!

I’m a petite, white Schnauzer, around 3-4 years old.  I’m current on my vaccinations, spayed and micro chipped, too.

I was found running on the streets of the big city and boy that was scary!  Thankfully a family took me in temporarily, but they couldn’t keep me so they asked Lone Star Westie Rescue to find me a new furever home.

I’m a 14 lb bundle of love.  I’m potty trained and walk great on a leash and I sleep in a crate!  I love giving kisses and cuddling.  I think I’m pretty much perfect, don’t you?

If you need someone to love, I’m your girl.  Hurry and get your adoption application in to LSWR so we can start our new life together.

See you soon!

Daisy- XOXO

** Adopted** Digby is looking for a Furever Home

Digby 1

Hi everyone, my name is DIGBY!   When I came into the foster program, I was in a tough way.  But good food, good care and lots of gentleness and love from the folks at LSWR has me bouncing back in a big way!   I am 12 years young, neutered male, and full of Westie attitude!  I have great confidence and am the “new sheriff” in town at my foster home.   My foster mom is always laughing at my antics because I am full of curiosity and joy and will try anything.  Naturally because I’m a Westie I excel at everything, from helping my foster mom when she digs in her garden, to walks and to training, I am smart and give it my all.  Teach an old dog new tricks, yep, that is me, I learn new rules and routines quickly, happy to fit in.   I am crate trained for night time and when you are away, but I’m also a love bug and want to be about with you when you are home and happy to sleep on the foot of your bed at night.  I’m house trained well, and first out the door to potty, even in the rain, better than some of the others I live with!  I jump up and clap my paws together when I am excited about something, especially dinner time.  I have some slight age related vision issues, but nothing that interferes and boy I don’t miss a treat tossed to me!   I love to be with my people, whatever they are doing, and that love bug stuff, yeah I really enjoy to snuggle up on the couch and watch your favorite shows with you.  I prefer to be your primary dog, but with the right buddies I can get along fine as long as I’m the alpha dog and getting my fair share of your attention.  After all, I want my own people and will be the best boy I can be, which naturally will be awesome… cause I’m DIGBY the Westie!

** Adopted** Molly is Looking for a Furever Home!

Molly d

I am an adorable 2-year-old Cairn Terrier named Molly. Let me tell you a little bit about me.

I came from a local shelter scared and alone and I had skin issues. My time was up and I was not going to make it out of the shelter alive until Camp Lone Star Cairn Rescue and Lone Star Westie Rescue rallied together to save me. So here I am a beautiful & happy girl and my skin issues are long gone. LSWR fixed all of that with kindness & love, great food and medicated baths.

I have really blossomed over the past few weeks. I’m in a foster home with a Westie, Cairn & a Labrador and I get along great with all of them. My best buddy is the family Labrador and I love running after her outside and playing tug-of-war inside.  I am spayed, current on all my shots, and microchipped.  I love to explore and I do great traveling in the car. I love my walks, being with humans and my furry friends.

Do I appeal to your heart?

I promise to be your best girl friend and fill your heart with love and laughter.

XOXO Molly

Boomer and Karma **ADOPTED**

Boomerkarma1

Will you open your heart and home to Boomer and/or Karma?

These two wonderful Westies are still looking for that person or family who will love them and take good care of them as they go through life.

Boomer is in our Walking Them Home program; at 15 years young, he is starting to slow down and needs a great home where he can live out the rest of his life. Lone Star Westie Rescue will pay for all of his medical and other needs for as long as needed. He’s a very sweet guy who loves belly rubs and attention. He can go on short walks. He does have some health issues, but those are being managed with medications.

Karma, at 13 years young, is still very active. She loves walks and squeaky toys. She’s a very healthy, spry girl! She will do best as the only pet in the home and no children.

Boomer and Karma have been together all of their lives. We would prefer that they stay in the same home where they are the only furkids, but we are open to the possibility of placing them separately if we can find the right homes for each.

Boomer and Karma

Boomer wanted to tell everyone our story, but I think I have a better handle on how this all works.  I’m Karma and I have never been without Boomer; he was all of 2 years old when I showed up.  We had a great life together for many years with the same family, but life happened and our circumstances changed then LSWR answered our mom’s call for help.   We saw the dogtor and went to our foster homes, but Boomer was sad without me.  His foster mom, my foster family and LSWR decided it would be best if we stayed together and now we are hanging in our foster home until our new forever family finds us!  Boomer was so relieved to see that he didn’t leave my side for 2 days. The dogtor says we are a good looking couple and in great health.

Now for the good part, me! I love to run, play, eat, and help my foster mom with gardening.  I’m irresistible and if you don’t think so, I’ll sit up on my hind quarters waving my paws to make sure you are not missing any cuteness. When the door opens to go out I’m first in line and second to the last one in. I thought I was a good swimmer, but I over estimated my abilities. It’s so hard to be humble when you have so much going for you.  I could go on about me, but I’d like to tell you about my older brother, Boomer. He’s a laid back Westie and loves….well me! He likes his belly rubbed, exploring the backyard, food and again me. He too sits on his hind quarters for dinner and treats, but hasn’t perfected the “paw waving” technique that I have mastered.  He’s a bit hard of seeing and uses me as a guide in new places.  Once he has the lay of the land there is no stopping him.

Please check out our pictures and video for more irresistible cuteness!!

Kisses and Cuddles,

Karma & Boomer

I remember the days when I had my own bed, my own toys and my family.

I am so sweet and I’m in tip-top shape.   I’m enjoying the other Westies in my foster home and running and playing in the huge backyard. I am looking for that special person who will fill the hole in my heart. If you want to live happily ever after with me please complete the online application.

Yuki Needs a Furever Home:

Adopted (1/2015)I won I'm not wearing black bows Ready for the party Yuki and her soccer ball

Here is a westie girl after my own heart. Her foster mum has reported that although Yuki doesn’t care for a bow, she seems to love wearing a boa. I think this might give her automatic entry into Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Yuki is a sweet gal that knows what she likes. She also has rebounded really well from some neglect she suffered when her family didn’t have the means to care for her. Thankfully, they made the hard choice to surrender Yuki to Lone Star Westie Rescue. She has been fully vetted and is ready for her furever home. The only thing Yuki will need from her new family is love and a few eyedrops for dry eye condition, but hey, what’s a little dry eye for a gal that has been on such a long journey. Through all her trials and tribulations Yuki has managed to keep that westie love in her heart and she looks forward to showering her new family with it every day.
