A constantly misbehaving Western Highland White Terrier, despite its small size, could be a hazard to a household especially if there are children.

In this situation, the most logical solution would be to seek the help of a Westie rescue center or organization. The better pet rescue group to go to would be one that has trained volunteers helping pet owners relinquish their animal charges.

Some of these groups are pet-specific such as in Westie rescue centers in some states, and maintain their own websites in the pursuit of pet rescue and placement.

These groups can be reached easily by e-mail and can respond in 24 to 72 hours to requests for Westie rescue. They also maintain a list of pet foster homes which the groups have pre-inspected, pre-approved and vet-referenced.
