Oklahoma Westie Rescue will consider adoptive families in most states and other countries. Our goal is to make the best rescue match taking into consideration the dog's background and your family's needs. Every dog is different: personality, temperament, energy, comfort with kids and other animals, medical needs and more. We consider all these factors when making a furever-home match. We are very careful about the placements we make. We do our best to match the right dog with the right adoptive home because we want this to be the pet's permanent home.
Our
Process
Oklahoma Westie Rescue has a specific way we do our application process. Please read the steps carefully and be patient with us. You will recieve updates as you go through the application process. We cant wait to help you find your next fur-baby!
1. Apply
We appreciate you wanting to bring a dog into your home. In order for us to find the right pet for you, we need you to submit an adoption application.
2. Review
We will review your application upon receipt. If we have any questions or concerns, we will contact you for clarity.
3. Reference & Vet Check
Once we have reviewed your application and have decided to move forward, we will check your personal and vet references.
4. Home Visit
Once we have checked your personal and vet references and decided to proceed with your application, a Oklahoma Westie Rescue volunteer will reach out to you to schedule a home visit to meet in person or by video call. During the home visit, we will look at your backyard, where the dog will be staying, and talk with you about dog-related things.
5. Finding Your Pet
Once approved to adopt, the search for your dog begins. You will be invited to our weekly event, and from there, we can help you find your fur-ever dog! We would also be open to discussing dogs in our care that you are also specifically interested in.
