Scottish Terrier Rescue Northwest (STRNW), was founded to assist in the rescue and placement of Scottish Terriers from individual owners, humane societies, veterinary clinics, animal shelters and homeless Scotties. To protect rescued Scotties, Scottish Terrier Rescue Northwest attempts to place rescued Scotties as home companions in the homes of suitable owners, who agree to care for and protect their rescued Scottie, and share their home with the same consideration they would give a family member. Most have been owner turn-ins but some have come from shelters and other all breed rescue organizations.

 

Our Northwest coverage area includes: Washington (Eastern and Western), Montana and Idaho.

Harley!

When Harley's owners moved they dumped he and his sister on an elderly neighbor.  Not being a dog lover she tried giving the dogs away. She managed to find some people to take Harley's sister but not Harley. 

The woman would not allow Harley into her home and when he tipped over the trash can on her enclosed back porch she locked him outside 24 hours a day.  The woman decided that she was being cruel leaving him out in the wet freezing weather and that the kindest thing to do was to take him to the local veterinarian and have him put to sleep.  The veterinarian of course refused and the woman threatened to take Harley out somewhere and turn him loose.

The good folks at the veterinary clinic began contacting rescue people and STRNW got involved.  After two days we were finally able to contact the woman's granddaughter and convince her to take Harley to the local animal shelter.  We picked Harley up from the shelter and he is now safe in a wonderful foster home.

Harley is about one year old and appears to be a Scottie/Chow mix.  He's approximately 35 lbs and has a brindle colored coat.  He's Scottie in the head but from there back he looks Chow.  His coat is dense and more Chow like than Scottie.  His tail curls and rests on his rump and he has a black splotched tongue.  He will be neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before being placed.  All in all he's a unique boy.

Harley's foster Mom says that he needs some training but he is incredibly sweet and just wants to be loved.  He's having great fun playing with Duncan, the resident Scottie, and shows no aggressive or alpha tendencies. 

We saved Harley from abandonment or worse and now he needs somebody to take him into their home and heart and give him the good life he deserves.  If your interested in adopting Harley contact us at placement@scottyrescue.org.
