Westie Rescue of Orange County and Beyond 


Westie Rescue of Orange County & Beyond is an all volunteer based corporation with no paid positions,
dedicated to saving the lives of forgotten West Highland White Terriers by rescuing stray animals from shelters that have not been adopted, reclaimed by their owners, or abandoned. 

Our rescues are cared for in private homes where they receive medical care
and rehabilitation.  WROC supports the "No Kill"  philosophy.

We specialize in Westie skin issues, work with a behaviorist for special needs dogs, and senior Westies have a special place in our hearts.

Our primary focus is securing loving homes for unwanted, neglected and/or abused animals.  We take particular care in placing our Westies.  Our screening process includes an application, reference checks, interview and a home visit to ensure the home and family is compatible with the pet’s needs and our requirements.  We request owners to sign a contract obliging them to contact us if they cannot provide for the animal for any reason.  We will always take our rescues back if the adoption does not work out.

Is a Westie right for you?  You are welcome to write to  karens@westierescueoc.com  and visit us at http://www.westierescueoc.com 

WROC is not affiliated with any other Westie rescue group in the Southern CA area.  We are the only IRS recognized 501(c)(3) non profit corporation in California recognized by the West Highland White Terrier Club of America and all of our funds and efforts go to the rescue and support of our Westies.

Operation Blankets of Love

Within the heart of every stray     
Lies the singular desire to be loved

Thanks go out to Eileen Smulson, Founder and President  of Operation Blankets of Love ...and all who donate to her organization. 

During this very cold winter in Southern California, Operation Blankets of Love provided warm and cuddly blankets, towels and other comfort items to
dogs in shelters and rescues.  


Caesar Milan congratulates Eileen on receiving a Certificate of Appreciation from L.A. City Animal Services

     
When asked about her fantastic operation, Eileen tells Small Dog Life Savers ...

 " Operation Blankets of Love saves the lives of homeless pets by supporting the animal rescue groups, shelters and foster care supplying them with comfort items. This increases their chances of adoption.  We are like the Red Cross for the animal rescue world because everyday is a disaster for a homeless pet." 

If you have donations or would like to volunteer to help:
email to:eileenobol@aol.com
  

For more information or to consider a financial donation, please visit the Blankets of Love website:

Remember, even in summer season, dogs still need donations of blankets, towels and other comfort items so please consider donating to
Operation Blankets of Love!

Goodbye Winter...

                   Hello Summer!

Ready for ...
Dog Beach?  

  • Remember, if it's an off-leash beach, be in control of your pack leader skills!
  • Be aware, there are sand fleas at the beach. Consult with your Vet regarding flea protection
  • Always respect humans and other dogs whether it's an off-leash or on-leash beach. Know your pet's limits.
  • Be sure to check whether dogs are allowed!
  • Keep water and a bowl with you; dogs can get dehydrated at the beach
  • Be careful, there are all sorts of potentially harmful things tucked into the sand which can be a danger to your pet; keep your eyes open and observe your pet at all times.
  • Check to be sure the water is safe. Remember, a dangerous tide , current or an over-abundance of jelly fish are a hazard to humans and also to dogs.
  • Before you head home, be sure to rinse your dog with water if he/she has run into the ocean.
  • Pick up after your dog, stay safe and HAVE FUN!

A Dog's Life Rescue makes a difference in the lives of the thousands of homeless animals in Los Angeles. Jared Padaleki, one of the stars of the hit CW show Supernatural, also joins A Dog's Life Rescue and is pictured here with rescue dog Mika. 

Mika was found in an alley at just two weeks of age by a young man walking home from school. The boy's mom contacted A Dog's Life Rescue for help because Mika is a special needs puppy.

Mika is paralyzed from the waist down. Mika has no idea she is different from other dogs. She gets around on her own and is so full of life and love. She is absolutely inspiring.

To read more about Mika and to watch Mika's video, click here: http://www.adogsliferescue.org

Also with A Dog's Life Rescue is beautiful Phoebe, a Beagle-Chihuahua mix who has so much love waiting for that special someone with a big heart!

 And see the story of TRUE, a German Shepherd around 5 years old,  now ready for adoption!  See how the story started for TRUE with this video of TRUE's rescue:
