We are an all-volunteer, donation-sponsored, non-profit organization dedicated to providing medical care, teaching socialization skills and finding permanent homes for Westies, Scotties, Cairns and small terrier mixes in the Greater Houston and Southern Louisiana area. We have been rescuing Westies and other terrier breeds since 2001 and currently rescue and re-home close to 150 dogs each year.
1. Browse our dogs available for adoption. 2. Complete the Adoption Application, stating the dog or dog breed you are interested in. 3. Applications are reviewed and references including veterinary references are checked by Westie and Scottie Rescue Houston. (Please be aware, successful applicants must meet basic requirements such as a safe home environment, fenced yard, experience with the breed, etc.). 4. A phone interview is conducted and a home visit is scheduled. 5. When the home visit passes inspection, an appointment will be arranged to visit with the available dogs and see if there is a match. 6. A contract is signed and the adoption fee is collected. The adopted dog goes to your home for an adjustment period of two weeks to ensure furever match. 7. All dogs are adopted are up to date on shots, spayed or neutered, and microchipped. They will also come with 6 months of heartworm prevention, a safety harness, collar, and WSRH ID tag. 8. If, after two weeks, the family and dog are found to be a suitable match, the adoption is considered final as per the contract.
