Here is Dougal who featured on an edition of the Paul O'Grady Show in November 2007. Dougal required a long term home with an owner who has plenty of time to spare and who could take care of any future vets bills as a result of him having a condition known as Lion's Jaw. The Westie Rescue team took over 1,800 calls in the 2 hours immediately after his appearance on the show, and as a result, not only have we rehomed Dougal, but several other longer term patients which would have been in our care indefinitely. Click on the images to the left to get a larger version.

Please note that Dougal has now been successfully rehomed. There are however, many more Westies just like him who are looking for loving homes. If you think you can help please call 0870 170 9526.

The Westie Rescue Scheme now have some spanky new collection tins which we are now is the process of distributing to all of our supporters around the country who regularly collect money for the charity via collection boxes. The new tins are a vibrant orange in colour and feature the new enhanced Westie Rescue logo along with our standard contact information.

It really is amazing just how much a sited collection tin can contribute to the scheme over a year. We are hoping to site as many as possible over the coming months, so please get in contact with the treasurer on 0870 330 4452 if you think you can help us to site one in your business, or know a vet where one could be placed or perhaps you may require one to help you with any fundraising initiatives you may be planning to hold!
