Adoptable Westies
Nickie
Nickie is a handsome 5-year-old Westie boy weighing 17 pounds, with a big personality and an abundance of energy and enthusiasm for life! Nickie was adopted approximately four years ago and has been dearly loved by his family, who have taken fabulous care of him. Due to changing family circumstances and health challenges, they made the incredibly difficult decision to reach out to WROC to help find him a new home. This decision was not made lightly, and their love for Nickie is evident in the care and attention they have given him.
Nickie is an active, exuberant boy who loves walking, running, exploring, and having fun. He enjoys spending time with his human and would love someone who can include him in their daily activities and adventures. He is leash-trained and knows several commands, including sit, stay, place, come, and heel. Of course, being a Westie, he occasionally exercises his selective hearing when he has other ideas!
Nickie isn’t a fan of the crate and would thrive with a Westie-savvy adopter who understands the breed’s spirited personality, can provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and has lots of time to devote to him. We believe he would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up all the love, attention, and companionship he deserves. Nickie is neutered, microchipped, and current on his vaccinations.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, active companion who will happily join you on adventures by day and snuggle up in the big-person bed at night, Nickie might just be your perfect match!

While we don’t know the full story behind her owner’s decision, we choose to focus on the positive: the compassion shown by the shelters we work with, who reach out to us in these critical moments.
Because the call came in at rush hour, we made arrangements to pick her up the following morning. Thankfully, Josie spent less than 24 hours at the shelter. In that brief time, the staff immediately began treatment, gave her extra meals, and showered her with kindness.
Upon intake at the shelter, she weighed in at just 11.8 pounds. Our goal is to help her reach a healthy weight with extra meals and weekly weigh-ins.
Like so many dogs when they first arrive, the toll of her previous circumstances is clear. After her first medicated bath and a nourishing meal, she curled up and fell into a deep, peaceful sleep—likely the best rest she’s had in a very long time.
The costs involved in these senior rescues are significant—medications, specialized treatments, diagnostics, nutritious food, pain management, and ongoing care all add up quickly.
Josie
JOSIE UPDATE: Josie has come so far. She is doing great and is a happy girl. She will need eye meds several times a day and fluids every other day to keep her happy & well.
Josie had her very first haircut. She doesn’t quite have enough coat yet for a full classic Westie trim, but she already has so much more hair than when she first came in. Her face looks beautifully full and rounded now, and every patchy or thin spot is nicely filled in. She’s looking like a proper little Westie fluffball already.
We received an urgent call from our partner shelter asking if we could take in a senior Westie girl whose owner had relinquished her for euthanasia. At 13 years old, Josie suddenly found herself alone at the moment she needed love and care the most.
If you would like to help with Josie’s care, donations to support her recovery would be greatly appreciated. Every bit helps give this sweet girl the second chance she deserves. Thank you for being part of her journey.

Dora enjoys the company of other dogs and would do wonderfully with a gentle canine sibling, or as an only dog in a home where she gets lots of attention, daily walks, and plenty of love. She thrives on companionship and being part of her person’s everyday life.
As a miniature poodle, Dora is easy to care for and well-mannered for her baths and grooms. She’s a good girl who cooperates nicely and takes it all in stride like the classy lady she is.
Dora is the perfect mix of affectionate, entertaining, and loyal. She’s looking for a home where she can be cherished, included, and adored for the special little soul she is.
Dora
Dora is a delightful senior miniature poodle who proves that age is truly just a number. This sweet girl is spayed, microchipped, and has had her dental done — so she’s all ready to start the next beautiful chapter of her life with a forever family. Dora is a very active senior who loves her daily walks and staying engaged with the world around her.
One of her most charming traits? She loves to have long conversations. Dora will happily chat with you about her day, her toys, or any exciting thing just happened outside the window. She’s expressive, funny, and full of opinions — and she expects to be heard. She absolutely adores people and loves everyone she meets. Dora is sassy, a little bossy in the cutest way, and an all-around fun girl who brings joy and laughter wherever she goes.
She’s potty trained, loves to play with toys, and makes an excellent snuggle buddy when it’s time to relax. If you’re ready for a loving companion who will make you laugh, talk back to you, snuggle close, and love you with her whole heart — Dora is waiting to meet you.
