What if I adopt a Westie and decide I have made a mistake?
One approach we take which is different from a lot of Rescues is that we do not insist that you adopt the dog right away. After an initial meeting, if you are the home selected, we encourage you to keep him or her for a week or so for a trial period in hopes of providing you with the opportunity to determine whether adoption is right for you. In the event you do adopt, and later determine you can for whatever reason no longer keep your Westie, you must let us know. The Adoption Agreement you sign with us contractually obligates you to return him or her to our Rescue. We want you to love your Westie as much as he or she is going to love you, so if the situation is not successful, we need to know.
