The Northern New Jersey West Highland White Terrier Rescue is dedicated to helping those in need. How does a Westie end up in Rescue? Some Westies end up in Rescue because of: * An owner's death or illness * Children leaving school to go home for the summer *Families moving somewhere that does not allow dogs *Household members allergies to dogs (possibly not the first pet they acquired to test this situation) *Job transfers to foreign countries with long quarantine periods. However the most common reason is that the owner either does not or never did have time for the dog. Therefore, the dog developed behavior problems from the lack of attention or training. As a result, the Westie becomes homeless and is, if it is lucky, given up to a breed rescue or shelter.
