DOGS IN FOSTER CARE – for the latest information about our dogs, visit our Facebook page.

Welcome 5 year old Maddie and 3 year old Teddy to WRM. They came into foster care on January 9, 2026. Their human daddy passed away and the family wants to find the best home for them. They are very healthy and are up to date on all medications. They are friendly loving dogs and are getting along great with their 2 foster siblings. They will be with us a while before we find the perfect home for them.

WESTIE RESCUE MICHIGAN INC. MISSION STATEMENT

Westie Rescue Michigan is organized as a nonprofit corporation under the laws of the State of Michigan for charitable purposes. Specific goals include:

  • To provide assistance and care for homeless West Highland White Terriers (WHWTs) specifically in, but not limited to, the lower Peninsula of Michigan.
  • To have a WHWT foster care program, which will foster in home, provide medical, emotional, and behavioral care, and eventually place in adoptive homes or, in rare instances, to humanely euthanize those dogs who cannot be safely placed or are too ill to find a good quality of life.
  • To raise funds to provide the medical and other care of foster dogs; these funds may sometimes be used to assist other groups with similar goals or to assist with medical research specifically intended to benefit the breed or to augment existing and newly formed educational programs for the public; or to advocate for the café and well-being of animals.
  • To, on occasion, provide the same type of care for Westie mixes and rarely, other breeds.
