Adopting from Sunshine State Westie Rescue

Adoption process

Westie Rescue - Florida is a nonprofit organization that operates entirely through volunteers and is recognized as a 501(c)(3) entity. The organization relies on public donations for funding. West Highland White Terriers, or Westies, are cared for in private homes during their rehabilitation and until they are adopted. All dogs receive treatment for any medical issues, are brought up to date on vaccinations, and must be spayed or neutered before being placed in new homes. The adoption process includes home safety visits and reference checks. Upon adoption, a tax-deductible donation is requested to help cover program expenses. This donation typically ranges from $400 to $600, depending on the specific dog and associated costs.
