Mackenzie

March 2008: 

Mackenzie is a shy, scared little 5 year-old former breeding male who came to WRT as part of a commercial breeder surrender transport.  Mackenzie had multiple health and social problems (i.e. severely infected ears, skin infection, infected paws, yeast in his ears and paws, hook and whip worms, broken teeth and severe dental disease).  While his health has improved, and he is gaining some much needed weight, he still is not progressing very much socially.  His new foster parents are working diligently and lovingly with him.  It’s just going to take a long time to get this fella out of his shell. 

We believe that because of the help from WestieMed coupled with the outpouring of compassion and care, Mackenzie will one day be a very content little soul.  He will probably never be very out-going.  It could be that too much mental/physical abuse was heaped on him.  We want his new home to be a very quiet environment without any children; preferably with an older, retired couple.  He’s a ways from being adoption-ready, but he’s well on his way, and thankfully, his health seems to be very good now.

Thank you WestieMed for helping Westie Rescue of Tennessee give this precious little dog a second chance at a good life!
