Molly, Forever Fostered December 2018
WROC found the most special person to be my new Mom, Miranda. She is a caregiver to people, children and now me! She told me that all she wanted for Christmas was a special little Westie that needed her. So now I am a WROC Forever Foster & my Christmas wish came true!! XOXO Molly

SCOOTER'S ORIGINAL STORY: I was wandering the streets and animal control picked me up and took me to the shelter. I waited a long time for my owners to come, but they never did.

LUCA'S ORIGINAL STORY: A friend of WROC contacted us to let us know there was "somewhat of a Westie" was in the county shelter. Our volunteer went to the shelter to see for himself and he saw the most pitiful little dog. He had brown ears and a brown tail, he was crusty & matted, his ears & eyes were infected. He was not a Westie. As he turned to go, the little dog jumped up, barked, wagged his tail & stuck his nose through the bars as if to say, please come back. He did a little dance & we simply could not leave him there...another life saved. He is approximately 8 years old, 21 pounds, neutered, shots are current, microchipped, and his teeth were cleaned. He is truly a sweet, calm, and happy dog.
Troy, Adopted October 2018

My new family promised me that they will take very good care of me and I will never do without again. I am one very happy girl. XOXO Lola
HEATHER'S ORIGINAL STORY: I was dumped in a park and was taken to the shelter. I was dirty, matted, and could not walk very well. I only weighed 10.5 pounds. The shelter decided that I was just too much for them to handle, so they called WROC & volunteer Heather dropped everything and came for me.

I am very sweet, I give soft kisses & I will wrap my paws around you. XOXO Heather

HAZEL'S ORIGINAL STORY: The shelter called WROC asking if we had any room for an 18 year old Westie that is blind and deaf that was dropped off by her owner because "she got old". Special thanks to Kelli, who jumped in her car, raced to the shelter, and delivered this sweet girl to WROC! She has been diagnosed with cushings disease so we are starting her on meds. Our sweet girl had surgery and did great! Poor baby had 8 teeth pulled and four masses removed. This little 18 year old is a trooper! Thank you everyone for your generosity contributing to her care.

HARRISON'S ORIGINAL STORY: I was picked up as a stray by a shelter in LA. I was tired, hungry, and scared but I waited hopefully in the shelter. I looked a mess because I had been on my own for so long that I almost gave up hope. No one wanted me, so I huddled in the back of cage, waiting and waiting. And then suddenly she appeared, speaking in a soft soothing voice, she told me everything was going to be okay. And she was so right, WROC wanted me! I let her know how grateful I was and snuggled up and gave her soft kisses. I was very good as she washed away all the dirt and cut out the mats in my hair.
