Maryland Westie Rescue
For the Love of Westies
Maryland Westie Rescue was founded in 2007 by a small, all-volunteer group of people dedicated to saving West Highland White Terriers (Westies) in Maryland and the surrounding states. In 2007, we assisted 39 dogs - thanks to the love and dedication of our volunteers, foster families, and those who have been willing to open their hearts and homes to a rescue dog. As of March 2008, we have already surpassed the total for 2007!

The mission was simple, originally: retrieve four dogs rescued from a puppy mill in Pennsylvania. Then, Maryland Westie Rescue (MWR) learned of 20 more Westies coming in from a puppy mill in Iowa. And as if that wasn't enough, MWR learned of another nine Westies coming from a puppy mill in Ohio. Follow this link to read more about Operation Wild White Rose and Operation White Carnation.

Postage For Paws
MWR is having a Forever Stamp Drive!
Simply send us a book (or 2 or 3...) of Forever Stamps! Why Forever Stamps, you ask? Because, they can be used at the current first-class postage rate at any time, regardless if the postage rates go up (which they will). You can buy them now, and they will be good FOREVER without having to add any extra postage. Seriously!
Rescued Hearts
Taking care of rescue dogs
Is something I do best.
I know because I've done it,
And I've surely passed the test.
The dogs I've bathed, the food I've fed,
The vacuuming I've done,
And all to watch a frightened soul
Sit dreaming in the sun.
My own dogs I've neglected,
But I tell them everyday
That I love and cherish each of them
Though a new dog's come to stay.
I know they understand this,
For in their eyes I see
The love that I have given them
Come shining back at me.
Some people think I'm crazy,
Some others think I'm great.
But very few can understand,
What really is at stake.
If I can love and help a dog
To find a better way,
My own life is much richer,
I look forward to each new day.
So now you know my secret,
It's there for all to see,
The love I give, the life I save,
I do it all for me.
