These are usually found in major metropolitan areas around country. Your local Humane Society can often refer you to purebred dog rescue groups, as can their national organization, The Humane Society of United States. Try looking in your local paper for dog rescue groups, or on internet.

When you find your Scottish Terrier rescue organization, expect to go through an application process before you can get a dog. There may be adoption fees for your terrier, and most organizations will expect you to immediately spay or neuter dog if it has not already been.

The dog is expected to show superior performance at a series of commands that are executed in a show ring. Some of tested commands are 'heel,' with and without a leash, 'sit' for a period of one minute, or 'down' for a period of three minutes. More advanced trials include retrieving articles and finding hidden objects that have trainer's scent. The Westie terrier competes against dogs of all breeds in these competitions.
