“Changing Lives, One Westie at a Time”6

Success Stories

Westies in Need (WiN) works very hard to match our wonderful dogs with equally wonderful new families. Here are some of our success stories!


Lilly's Story

One of our little rescues was named Lilly - she was the worst case of skin problems we had ever seen when she arrived into our rescue program. The Pet Network saw her info on our website and asked if they could do a story on our Lilly and our rescue. Click here to watch the video of Lilly and her journey...they did a great job and we can't thank the Pet Network enough for supporting us!  Lilly says THANKS too!

Pentek Poppies

WiN to the Rescue - and those words could not be more true when it comes to these 7 sweethearts that came to us via an auction... Yes, an event that auctions off dogs like they were cars or farm equipment.
Les Pentek and his wife Maria were long time Westie parents and wonderful supporters of Westies in Need. When Les passed earlier this year, he left a donation for WiN which allowed us to save these seven sweet souls and provide them with the much-needed medical care and grooming each of them needed.
Thank you Les for your loving generosity enabling us to save these 7 Westies. We are beyond grateful!

Lovey - After spending her life, 8 years, in a mill and likely having 2 litters every year, she was rescued. Lovey was seen by a vet who diagnosed her with pyometra and informed us that she was still carrying a dead litter of pups. Rescuing her is one thing, truly saving her life is another.

Livey- also 8 years old is such cutie and we are beyond happy that we could save her

Ricky and Mickey- 2 brothers who are just 9 months old and as you can see are pretty adorable.

Hope- a sister to Lovey and Livey----she is a little quieter than her sisters, but love to play

Danny- a little boy, just 4 years old and he is adjusting so well

Lizzy- is just 2 years old and is just about as sweet as can be.

Welcome to WiN wee ones, you are safe, and you are already so very loved. Please Note: that all these darlings are spoken for by anxious families that have an application in to WiN.
 
An update...all of the Pentek Poppies have been adopted!
