Annabelle,
female, born 2004
|
|
Annabelle is a sweet,
loving, gentle and happy little girl who brings me much joy and she is
also a very good watchdog. Annabelle loves to play with her toys
and loves it when I play "chase" with her around the house while she
is holding a toy in her mouth. Annabelle loves to go on walks
and puts the brakes on when she knows her walk is almost over.
She is a real love.

Lady Whitney, female, born
about 1994
|
| Little Lady! You came to our
house only yesterday -- so small and a little shy. Quietly you
checked the house and yard trying to fit in, wanting to be close to
someone. It was a big day for such a little girl. Today you
smiled at me with your eyes and tail. It is the beginning of many
happy days together -- you are home!

Angie, female, born 2002 |

time in our lives. She has made our family complete. The
sight of her always brightens our day. She has a sweet, loving
disposition and loves to chase and play like a puppy. Thank you
SFBWHWTC Rescue! ~~

Casper, male, born 1999 |
| Hi, my name is Casper. I am the
King of the castle. I get to go to the motor home and go boating.
I'll play ball with you whenever you like. I'll even play dead -
for the right treat. Everybody loves me because I am the best dog
ever - just ask my people.

Josef, male, born 1998 |
| Josef is happiest when he has company.
Exploring walking trails and participating in Novice training classes
are his favorite activities. He performs "happy tricks" by rolling
once on his back and by chasing his toys. He brings a smile to our
hearts every day.

Danny Boy, male, born 1994 |
| A classy retired show dog who enjoys
napping, walking and hunting cats equally. A wonderful companion
at home and traveling. We were both lucky to him come live with
us. ~~ Marilyn Rogers |

Bailie, male, born about 1996 |
| Bailie came to us from Westie Rescue in
January 1999 and he is a very special part of our lives. He loves his
toys and entertains himself (and us) with them. He particularly
enjoys visits from our grandchildren and follows them everywhere.
Squirrels don't stand a chance in our yard when Bailie is around!
He has a daily walk to the park and everyone in the neighborhood knows
him. We love him very much! ~~

Riker, male, born 1992 |
| Almost every day Leon will say to me
"Riker is such a great dog." He really is and we are so lucky to
have him with us. Each morning when Riker gets back from his ride
to get the newspapers, he sits on the patio looking toward the sky
waiting for the first squirrel of the day to travel across the telephone
lines. He is never disappointed. In addition to chasing
squirrels and guarding his territory, Riker loves to play tug. He
will take a toy and hit Riley over the head or in the face as many times
as it takes until Riley gets the idea and plays too.

Riley, male, born Unknown |
Just look at our Riley.
Last year he was still recovering from the skin condition that he had
when he was rescued. We adopted the ugly duckling and were
rewarded with the handsome prince. Riley is our lover boy.
He can't give you enough kisses. He is secure now, always
friendly, happy and confident in his role in our family. He lets
Riker take the lead and follows along with his tail held high.

Chloe, female, born 2000 |
|
My name is Chloe and my favorite pastime
is going for a walk in the park with Brodie and Barbara. I have
to be very careful in the morning and not leave Barbara's side until
we leave just in case she goes without me. She never has yet,
but you can't be too careful. Brodie follows Jim everywhere and
I like to stick to Barbara 'cause I don't want her to be lonely.
My brother and I have a great yard that is populated with some very
pesky squirrels. Brodie and I chase them and one day we'll catch
'em. So far they've managed to elude us. We'll never give
up though. Barbara and Jim are always telling us how lucky they
are to have us. We think we're lucky too!

Brodie, male, born 2001 |
|
I came to live with Jim, Barbara and Chloe
soon after tragically lost Chloe's sister, Bridget, and I knew I had
big paws to fill. Barbara takes us for a walk every weekend and
during the week when she's home and my sister Chloe and I just love
it. I try to be a good little guy and play with Chloe every
chance I get. She likes to wrestle with me but she always is the
Boss. But that's OK because we still have fun. Sometime I
tease her and goad her into playing. I follow Jim around
everywhere 'cause he's a good guy and feeds me doggie biscuits and
scratches my ears. I love chasing balls but I don't bring them
back - after all, I'm not a retriever.

Mister Angus McDuff, male, born about 2000 |
|
Mister Angus McDuff is a truly tenacious
terrier! At 4 years he enjoys sitting in the yard under the
Squirrel tree watching and waiting. he is a very patient boy.
Cats are no longer welcome and Angus also believe he can fly when a
bird is in view. His other joy is playing with his brother,
Baxter, wrestling, chasing and playing tug of war. What a joy
they are to watch.

Travis, male, born 2003 |
|
Travis came to me when he was only four
months old. I feel very blessed to have him in my life even
though he at times can be "very full of himself." He is funny,
sweet, mischievous and extremely loving. His favorite thing in
the world is to go to the dog park and play with his buddies. As
Travis would say: "Life is good."

Willie Wallace (Willie), male, born 1998 |
|
When Willie's first owner died, he went to
a family member, but Willie and their dog didn't get along.
Willie went to the Mendocino Humane Society around August 2003 with
the information that he didn't get along with other dogs, wasn't house
broken and hated cats. By chance my husband saw him and told me.
Our rescued Scottie got along find, so I adopted him. His house
manner have improved. Although he likes to chase cats, he is
great friends with our two. He is loveable, comical and playful.
He is a wonderful addition to our home.

Tody,
male, born 1992 |
|
Tody came into our lives in August 2000.
We agreed to be foster guardians until a permanent home could be
found. In a very short while this foster family applied for
Tody's adoption. From the get go Tody had the enthusiasm and
curiosity of a puppy. He accepted his role as the newcomer in
our 3-westie-5-dog-home and quickly worked his way into the hearts of
all six of us. Tody is a most loving and loyal companion who's
only "fault" is that he follows Cathy around so closely and quietly
that he has earned the nickname "my shadow" and occasionally gets
entangled in her feet. Tody is a love.

LuLu,
female, born 1993 |
|
LuLu is a 14 lb. fireball who found her
way into our home and our hearts in June 2003. She is mightily
independent and although she does not readily trust outsiders, LuLu
quickly established herself as "boss" of our two older Westies, Mac 13
and Tody 12 and the two big dogs, Molly 8 and Cold 7. She is
still trying to train John but has accepted Cathy as her protector and
best friend. LuLu is a joy.

Katie, female, born 2002 (Absent) |
|
Several years ago we lost our Shelties and
our Westie "Hank" went into a depression. Our vet told us to get
him a friend to perk thing up. Luckily through rescue we were
gifted with "KATIE". She was about 4 months old and very
spirited and she was the first female dog we ever had. She got Hank up
and going even though he was 10 -- she got all of us up and going.
We have loved every minute of it. Recently, we lost Hank and
having learned from before we jumped right in and now Katie has two
new Westie sisters. Now there is never a dull minute around
here. ~~ Ellie and
