2010 ANNUAL REPORT Maryland Westie Rescue, Inc. Annual Report 2010

Mission Statement, Goals & Objectives

Maryland Westie Rescue, Inc., is run solely by volunteers for the welfare of homeless West Highland White Terriers (Westies).

The mission of Westie Rescue is to facilitate the rescue and adoption of stray, abandoned, neglected, abused, and surrendered Westies of pure or mixed-breed lineage, and place adoptable Westies into permanent, loving homes.

In the interim, we provide appropriate foster and veterinary care, proper nourishment, and give them plenty of love and attention.

The geographical area to be serviced by Westie Rescue consists of, but is not limited to, Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. The availability of financial and volunteer resources will determine how many Westies and how extended a geographical area can be serviced at any given time. Westie Rescue’s goal is to provide quality care and placement assistance to as many homeless Westies as possible.

Qualified adoptive families are selected through an application process that is focused on the welfare of the Westie and the need to place each dog in an environment appropriate for that dog’s background, temperament, and needs. The needs of the homeless Westie are Westie Rescue’s primary concern. Attaining safe, loving, lifelong homes for these Westies is our primary goal. The accomplishments, by objective, of Maryland Westie Rescue, Inc. for 2010:

 Facilitate the rescue and adoption of stray, abandoned, neglected, abused, and surrendered West Highland White Terriers (Westies) of pure or mixed-breed lineage, and place adoptable Westies into permanent, loving, and stable homes, while providing long-term care for those animals not appropriate for adoption.

We certainly have been busy in 2010! Maryland Westie Rescue, Inc. has aggressive adoption policies, working our hardest to find good, permanent homes for our Westies. We took in/ placed 48 Westies in happy, forever homes. And the calls keep coming in for Westies in need. We attribute this volume to the organization becoming more widely known via the hard work of our volunteers, our informative web site, our network of contacts all over the country, and an incredible level of word-of- mouth recommendation! Maryland Westie Rescue turns no Westie or Westie-Mix away. Through an intricate network of volunteers and foster homes we manage to fulfill every request we receive for Westies seeking & needing new homes. Each Westie that comes into our rescue is examined by a vet, updated on all shots, and treated for any existing medical conditions.

 Help relieve suffering of and prevent cruelty to Westies through dissemination of information to and education of the public.

Maryland Westie Rescue, Inc. believes education is the key to creating a humane and responsible society. We are constantly seeking out and participating in events within the Greater Washington area to promote the rescue, convey our message of anti-cruelty, and promote canine well- being through pamphlets, brochures, and flyers and our on-site presence. This information is also readily available on our web site for public access at www.marylandwestierescue.com. These events in 2010 included: The Pet Expo, Frederick Celtic Festival, Walk in the Park, Maryland Public Television Volunteer events, Responsible Dog Day, Walk for Paws, Fall Foliage Walk with Fido, and the Mardi Pawrade. We also have the mass mailing of our newsletter, The Westie Watch. Contents include seasonal pet care tips and extensive canine health care articles. We produced and mailed 3 editions of this newsletter in 2010. Our Generous Donors For 2010 Maryland Westie Rescue, Inc. relies solely on donations to keep its rescue and associated programs operating. We sincerely thank all of those listed below who helped us to help homeless Westies in need!
