You will want to get your westhighland terrier puppy used to a collar and leash as quickly as possible. Buy a light collar and leash, suitable for puppies, and get an ID tag to go with them. The grooming routine is also something that it needs to experience as early as possible. Have a brush or comb ready at hand.

Some owners recommend a bed of old towels, while others suggest faux lambskin. Like everything else you buy for your westie puppy, whatever you choose for a bed should be both washable and durable, as well as comfortable for your dog.

Last, but not least, find a veterinarian. A reputable west highland white terrier breeder will even let you bring dog to a vet before purchase, in order to ensure that dog you bring home is healthy.

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.

Some breed representatives have waiting lists, but if you are patient, there should be a Scottish Terrier for you to rescue.
