North Atlantic Westie Rescue, Inc.

Dog rescue in Bridgewater, MA

North Atlantic Westie Rescue, Inc., is an all-volunteer, 501c3 organization incorporated in Massachusetts. North Atlantic Westie Rescue’s mission is to find, rehabilitate, and place homeless West Highland White Terriers in permanent homes where they can be the best dog they can be. None of its volunteers receive a salary for their work, often contributing funds out of their own pocket to ensure the lives of unwanted Westies are saved. North Atlantic Westie Rescue’s mission will be accomplished when there are no more unwanted Westies in need of good homes.

Additional adoption info

All prospective adopters must complete our online application to be considered for adoption. The application takes about 10 minutes to fill out, so get comfortable!

Once we receive your application, one of our volunteers reviews your information. If your application meets our eligibility criteria and is a good fit for a rescued Westie, the volunteer will follow up by phone and/or email for a screening interview. The screening interview is an opportunity for us to get to know your situation and experience with the Westie breed and dogs in general. It is also a chance for you and your family to ask questions about what’s involved in rescuing a Westie.

After a successful screening interview, the volunteer checks three personal references and a veterinarian reference. We also require a home visit, which is conducted by a local volunteer. The volunteer then brings your application to our Adoption Screening and Placement team which approves or rejects your application.

We request an adoption donation between $250 and $600 depending on the age and medical needs of the dog. Placement is made based on your household situation and the dog's needs.
