Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Arthur is a purebred Westie approximately 12 years of age. who was a beloved family member until the toddlers in the household became an annoyance. He is house trained, leash trained, kennel trained and travels like a professional! Arthur tolerates other dogs who don't get in his face but would love to live the life of an "only child". He is laid back and prefers to spend his days lolling in the sun or watching squirrels, or in a comfy dog bed.
Arthur does have seasonal allergies which sometimes require a prescription medication and medicated baths. He must be fed a high quality diet due to his allergies. Arthur is food aggressive and is very protective of high prized items such as bones and chew sticks. NO CHILDREN, PLEASE!
Arthur would love a fenced yard but would be happy exploring on leash while walking for exercise and potty breaks.
The suggested adoption donation for Arthur is a minimum of $250 and goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs.Wag N Train Terrier Rescue adopts to an extended geographical area as long as we can locate a local volunteer to perform the required home visit. Approved adopters are required to travel to Omaha, NE to pick up their newly adopted dog. We do not arrange transport, or fly our rescue dogs without a "pet nanny". All of our dogs that come from a commercial breeding facility require a securely fenced yard AND a resident companion dog, unless the dog's bio states otherwise. Please note, invisible or underground fencing is not considered secure or appropriate containment. Adoption applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information
