Grommit's story

Professor Grommit's Story

Grommit
Grommit Hi, my name is Professor Grommit, but you can call me Grommy. I was rescued by two nice people on February 2, 2007. I was living in Iowa, and I got a ride with some Cairn Terriers to Chicago where my people met me. It was so cold – only 4 degrees! We drove to Sandusky, Ohio to stay over night, and finally drove home to western New York the next day. It was a long, long way; made longer by a blizzard in Buffalo. At least I got to ride in the back seat and get lots of attention on the way home.
I love my new house where I am the only dog. I love to go for walks in the countryside, play with toys, go for rides in the car and snuggle with my people. My people’s parent’s have a Westie named Westie. He was rescued from Tennessee. He and I are best friends (see photo below).
In the summer I love to participate in dog agility class. I get to run around and jump over things, go through tunnels and cool off in a pool. I am so fast the people call me “the White Blur”.
Grommit and friend looking out the window In the summer I love to go on vacation. I have been to Maine and went swimming in the ocean. I have even spent a week or two in downtown Boston, I have another Missouri Rescue friend there named Swiffer. In Boston they let nice dogs like me ride on the subway. I always wear my Red Sox bandana when I am visiting. Go RED SOX!
This fall I passed the Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog International test. I am looking forward to visiting people and making them happy.
Thank you good people of Westie Rescue! You gave me a second chance and now I have a great life!
Sincerely, Professor Grommit

Jellybean's rescue story

Jellybean's Story

 Jellybean is a three year old female puppy mill dog. When we received her in July, 2000, she weighed only ten pounds. In spite of the fact that she had a large hernia, she had been used as a breeding dog and had recently had a litter of puppies. Jellybean is a funny little soul, and we enjoyed having her here while she recuperated from her spay and her hernia operation. Jellybean rode the Westie Express to Wisconsin where she is living the good life with Mike, Jackie and her new brother, Reggie. Jellybean and Reggie recently went to visit Santa. Although they are Westies, they have been good little dogs and we know that Santa will bring them lots of fun things for Christmas! Jellybean is hogging Santa's lap while Reggie looks on.
