Everybody loves a baby animal and Westie puppies are adorable, but new dog purchasers often do not realize the commitment they are making when they bring a puppy home.
For those want the companionship of Westies dogs, but do not have the knowledge or patience to endure the training process, rescuing an older Westie dog may be the right alternative.

determine if it will fit into your home.
It may seem like rescuing an older Westie provides you with an 'instant dog,' but that is not the case.
