Finn, Adopted April 2026

I was adopted by my new Mom, Ellen. She takes great care of me and I am a very happy pup. I love my new life. Mom writes: “Finn is doing great. We went on 2 good walks today and he met a few new friends. He is eating and sleeping like a champ. Thank you for saving this adorable boy.”

  • 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.

    They have a lot of decompressing and healing to do, but we can already tell they are the sweetest boys — full of kisses and so grateful for every bit of love and care they're finally receiving.

Ripley & I were really feeling the loss of Scotch and this has really helped us to heal. Thank you for this beautiful gift.”

2026 Adoptions

Clover, Adopted May 2026

I was adopted by Jen & Jon. Mom says that I am a cuddle bug and very well behaved. We go everywhere together and take nice long walks. Mom says that I am her fuzzy white shadow! My new Mom & Dad are just the best. We are a very happy family and all of our hearts are full of love.

  • Clover just arrived at WROC. Her owners were moving and there was no room in the moving van for her.

    She is a very sweet 7 year old spayed Westie. She is very healthy, but a bit overweight at 20 pounds. She is starting her diet tomorrow to regain her girlish figure. Her previous owner shaved her back down to the skin, but it will grow back in a few weeks.

    She will go to the vet for a health checkup and to update her shots. She is a lovely dog looking for her new family that will never abandon her again.

Rosie, Adopted May 2026

I was adopted by Susan & Scott. I have a lovely new home and a big yard where I get to play. Mom says that I am a her constant companion. day and night. We take long walks in the neighborhood and I have grand dogs and grand kids to play with. My life is transformed from living outside to a fairy princess!

  • Rosie is a sweet and energetic 7 month old Westie girl looking for her forever home!  She came in with her two siblings and is absolutely full of happy puppy energy. Rosie is playful, affectionate, and generous with kisses. She loves her food, follows her people everywhere, and is always ready for snuggles. She sleeps through the night and would do wonderfully with another playful dog in the home.

    Rosie is still learning indoor manners and will need a patient family to support her through the rest of her potty training (she’s currently using puppy pads). She’s doing her best and making progress every day!

    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. Rosie is microchipped and will need to be spayed once she’s ready.

    If you’re looking for a fun, loving little Westie who will brighten your days, Rosie would make a wonderful addition to your family!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Clover just arrived at WROC. Her owners were moving and there was no room in the moving van for her.

Murphy, Adopted February 2026

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. . 🐾
