Skye, Adopted August 2026

Skye, previously Milo, was adopted by Cathy and Tim. They were so touched by his resilience and will to survive. He is such a sweet brave warrior. They promised him a cool house in the summer, a warm home in the winter and love all year round. He is a very happy little guy.

  • Poor Milo was found by a good Samaritan, huddling on her doorstep, looking for shade in really hot weather. He was so matted and filthy that most of his hair had to be shaved. Despite all his tribulations, he is a sweet, loving boy who listens pretty well and gets along with dogs and cats.

    Milo is is a Westie mix, approximately 1 year old & 11 pounds. He has been to our vet for a full checkup, neuter, shots, and microchip. He is recovering and is a healthy happy boy.

    We made a promise to Milo that he will never be lonely, lost, or hot again. Will you be his new family to fulfill that promise?

Auggie, Adopted August 2026

Auggie, previously Alex, was adopted by Jennifer and Tom. Mom Jennifer says: “He is so smart and really wants to please. He already knows sit, stay, leave and heel. He pins me down and gives the best Westie kisses. He is bonding with both of us and we love him so much!

  • ALEX UPDATE: This boy is so smart. He learned how to use the doggie door in 1 day. He can sit & lay down on command. He loves to play & will fetch a ball. Alex is definitely a charmer!

    Alex is a 3 year old, 20 pound Westie boy. He is neutered, his shots are current and he is microchipped. He is gorgeous and very sweet.

Robbie, Adopted August 2026

Robbie, previously Rory, was adopted by Sally and Brian and he has a new Westie brother, Ollie. His new family is doing a really good job teaching him the ways of his new world and how to be the best little Westie that he can be. We could not be happier for this deserving little boy.

  • RORY UPDATE: Rory is eager to learn and responds well to positive encouragement. He is affectionate, active, sweet, and excited to start a new day. He loves to play with toys and adorably entertains himself. He loves other dogs, sleeps all night in his crate, and is learning to walk on his leash. His coat is filling in, he is delightful!

    Rory came to rescue from a closing breeding operation. He is an adorable, 6 month old, 15 pound male puppy. It does not take Rory long to warm up to new people or situations.  He is a very playful, affectionate, active boy who takes rough housing to the next level. 

    Rory’s shots are current. he is microchipped, crate trained, and ready for some fun.  He will benefit from training or obedience classes and will need to be neutered when he is 9-12 months old. He is really great with other dogs and would do well in a multi dog family.  Rory is currently in Sacramento.

2026 Adoptions

  • Millie is a sweet, very outgoing, and energetic 7 month old Westie girl looking for her forever home!  She came in with her two siblings and is full of happy puppy energy. Millie is playful, affectionate, and always ready with kisses. She loves to eat, loves to play chase, and will follow you everywhere. She sleeps through the night, loves to cuddle, and would do great with another playful dog in the home.

    We are currently transitioning her food, and she will need to stay on a proper, nutritious diet going forward. Her new family should continue the transition gradually. Millie is still learning her indoor manners, so she’ll need a patient, understanding family that can guide her through the rest of puppy life.

    Because we don’t have her original vaccination records, we’ve started her on the standard puppy vaccination protocol. She received her first round on May 23, 2026. Millie is microchipped and will need to be spayed once she’s ready.

    If you’re looking for a fun, loving, outgoing little Westie who will brighten your days with zoomies and chase games, Millie would make a wonderful addition to your family!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • Charles just arrived at WROC from a county shelter. He is 3-4 years old, 17 pounds. New haircut by Joy!

    Welcome to Rescue, Charles. These two adorable 3-4 year old Westies were brought into the shelter as "strays." They had clearly been terribly neglected, arriving filthy, with severe matting (dreadlocks) and overgrown nails. The good news is that once no one came forward to claim them, the compassionate shelter staff reached out to us for help. The boys are now safe and in our care.

I was adopted by long time Westie lovers, Agnes and Darrel. I am so happy to have my own family and home again. I was a little scared at first, but I soon was bounding up the stairs, jumping off the couch, and best of all, sleeping in the big bed. I love my walks and my health is so much better! XOXO Murphy

  • This handsome 13 year old boy just arrived at WROC because his owners could no longer care for him. Murphy spent 3 long weeks boarded at the vet because of his skin issues and he had no other place to go. As soon as we heard about him, we rushed to his rescue. His skin is improving daily. and now that he is with us, he is feeling much better. Murphy is looking for a loving home where he can spend his golden years.

Rupert, Adopted April 2026

Today, Rupert’s ordeal is behind him. He has been adopted by JL and Grace, experienced four-time adopters who recognized the beautiful, resilient heart in this special boy. Rupert now has a loving forever home where he can heal completely and enjoy the peaceful, happy life he so deeply deserves.

  • Rupert came to the shelter as a stray after a brutal attack—likely by a coyote or large dog. By the time he arrived, his wounds were badly infected, filled with maggots, and he was septic. His condition was critical.

    He was immediately rushed to emergency intensive care, where he spent six days fighting for his life. Rupert endured three surgeries and daily bandage changes, yet he never once held a grudge. Through it all, this sweet boy remained gentle and affectionate, quickly becoming a favorite with the veterinary team.

    Our community stepped up in a big way, rallying to support Rupert during his long recovery with donations, messages of encouragement, and kind words that helped lift everyone’s spirits.

    Thank you to everyone who rallied for him and believed in second chances. . 🐾
