If you’re interested in adopting a Westie, please complete an Application to Adopt form before phoning or emailing us.
Our adoption process
- Apply. Once you’ve submitted an Application to Adopt, we’ll be in touch to let you know whether you’re eligible to move forward.
- Home check. One of our volunteers will visit for a chat about our Westies, confirm the details on your application, and check your home and garden are safe and secure.
- Find your match. Once your home check is signed off, keep an eye on Dogs in Our Care and get in touch about any dog you have in mind. If we think it’s a good match, we’ll arrange for you to meet them.
- Adopt. If the meeting goes well, we’ll take you through the final steps of adopting your dog.
After Care Service
We offer an After Care Service to all our adopters. If you have any questions, or need help settling in, please don’t be afraid to get in touch. We know the first few days and weeks can be difficult to adjust to, and we’re always happy to help.
What if it doesn’t work out?
It’s unfortunate, but sometimes things don’t work out between you and your Westie. If that happens, we’re happy to bring the dog back into foster and continue caring for them until they find their forever home.
