Maltese and West Highland White Terrier Westie Dogs Available for Adoption

Skip
6 years old
Neutered male
Maltese/Westie mix
5-10 lbs

Skip was surrendered to one of our shelter partners with his “brother” Morgan after their owner had to move into assisted living. She had been struggling to care for them for a bit, and they were matted and covered in urine and feces. Thankfully, we were able to pull them into an amazing foster home and get them to the vet for neuters, dental work, and a shave down of the painful mats while sedated.

They have now settled into their foster home wonderfully, they are a little bit shy and submissive, but love gentle pets and belly rubs! They are now available for adoption, either together or separately, and as usual with dogs that come in pairs and get along well we will offer a reduced adoption fee to a family interested in taking them both. Could these boys be the next members of your family!?

Both boys are…
- Dog and cat friendly
- Quiet in a crate
- Use pee pads inside
- Cuddle up in a playpen while foster is gone
- Working on their confidence on leash and outside

If you’re interested in adopting Skip and/or Morgan please complete an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt
Long distance adoptions considered, must travel to us in the Buffalo NY area for a meet and greet.

*Please keep in mind that it is time consuming for our volunteers to process applications. We ask that you are sure you are ready to welcome a dog into your home and are seriously interested in adopting BEFORE applying.
