Westie Rescue was notified by the Animal Rescue League that a Westie had been surrendered to the shelter. He had never been vaccinated, had worms and his hair was completely shorn. Winston was on the list to be euthanized so Westie Rescue acted quickly.
Poor Winston was scared and didn't know what was happening to him. He was a good boy from the start.... docile, friendly and in need of TLC.
Luck was on Winston's side.... the Bastos family was looking for a dog, especially a Westie. In a matter of days, Winston was saved from the shelter and in a loving home with three little girls who adored him.
From the Bastos Family:
"Winston is doing very well. He is such a wonderful, sweet dog. We just can't imagine that someone else was willing to give him up, but we're awfully glad they did so that he could become a part of our family! When he first came home, our youngest would wake up every morning and ask, "Where's my doggie?" After a few days, it changed to "I love having a dog at our house!"
"We are so grateful for the work that Westie Rescue is doing on behalf of dogs like Winston and feel so lucky that everything worked out the way it did! Thank you so much!"
