West Highland White Terrier Westie Dogs Available for Adoption

MacTavish is a very sweet and engaging 12 week old West Highland terrier who came to us from a puppy mill. He settled into our home quickly and is friendly with people and other dogs. He has become fast friends and tussle buddies with our seven month old Maltese mix

He’s an energetic and friendly pup with a big confident personality. He loves toys, playing tug with his buddy, and romping in the snow. MacTavish’s leash skills are progressing positively and he is attentive and compliant with some commands that are accompanied by treats. Housetraining is also coming along well and he often cues to go outside. He’s an intelligent little guy and a fast learner.

MacTavish is currently being fed Royal Canin puppy food. He is eager for his meals exhibiting a voracious appetite and tending to eat quickly. He is protective of his food and guards it from the other dog, but not from people

MacTavish has a large bald spot on his head and his tummy and front armpits are also hairless. This is currently being investigated and treated (it may be genetic as the millers also had Chinese Crested dogs). He is also being treated for an eye infection and dry eye condition. He is responding well to this medication and his eyes are much brighter and more clear. He has received the first of his vaccines.

MacTavish sleeps well in his crate. He shows no signs of anxiety when left alone for a couple of hours and is not destructive.
