Male Dog, West Highland White Terrier Westie
West Highland White Terrier Westie
Description:
Max has been with us for quite some time, having all of his medical needs met and being cared for as a family member. Bladder cancer is not something to be easily dealt with. Thankfully, our vets were able to give Max almost 2 years after his diagnosis. But in the end, the cancer spread to his brain and caused a massive seizure that ended his battle. Travel well little Max. Rest in Peace. Medical costs to date: $2,069.46 Max is a handsome Westie boy, full of all the expected terrier energy and then some. He is quite the velcro dog and wants to be at your feet while you're cooking a meal or watching television. A kennel is not Max's favorite place. He takes two daily medications to help with anxiety, which may or may not be necessary in his new home. Max is approximately 11 years of age. Max wants to be the only dog in the home. Because of his anxiety issues, it would be best for Max to have a home with a stay-at-home human that has lots of patience. Due to barking, Max is not available to apartment homes/condos. Max likes to play fetch with a small ball and is easily entertained with squeaky toys, which should never be given to him without supervision. Max likes to be nearby and underfoot constantly. This can be a tripping hazard if you are not aware of his whereabouts. Max is not your typical Westie. His anxiety is real and would need to be dealt with in a positive way on a regular basis. He was in a home for 9+ years and displayed this behavior the last 3 years, before being surrendered to us. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - All dogs adopted by Scottie Kingdom Rescue, Inc. have had a full medical exam by one of our licensed Veterinarians, which includes testing (and treatment, if necessary) for Heartworm disease, Lyme disease, Ehrlichia and Anaplasmosis, all necessary vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, dental cleaning as necessary, microchipping, registration of the microchip, and any other medical needs each particular dog may need. Copies of all available medical records are transferred to you when the adoption is finalized. We prefer to adopt to families with past Scottie, Westie, Terrier experience, but realize this isn’t always possible. We do NOT ship our pets. If you have that special place in your heart, and in your home, for a Scottie (or any of our other available rescue dogs), please visit us in Dallas for an in person meet & greet session with our available dogs. If you have existing dogs, they should travel to Dallas with you, so we can be assured that they will be compatible with the new addition to your family. Please contact us at [email protected] to receive an Adoption Application or for more information on our Adoption process. Also, please take the time to visit our website www.scottiekingdom.com for additional information. We sometimes receive several applications on the same dog. Our goal is to place the dog in the best home possible, based on his/her needs, personality and past history. Please note: Adoptions are not done on a first come, first served basis. Submitting an application does not guarantee the adoption of any dog. We are looking for the best available home for each of our rescue dogs. Thank you for your understanding, and for considering adoption! We are not supported by your tax dollars or public grants, rather, we rely on donations to help us continue our rescue work for animals that are in need. Donations may be made via PayPal to email address: [email protected] or via USPS, to PO Box 551265 ~ Dallas, TX 75355
