There are many places to find Westie merchandise, but before you
make a purchase for yourself or your Westie, consider first a
retailer or non-profit organization that uses sales of Westie
merchandise to benefit the breed.
WestieMed, Inc. is a non-profit organization that specifically
targets rescued Westies that are injured or ill. Along with
donations, WestieMed uses sales of Westie merchandise to pay for
medical care for these special-needs dogs while homes are found
for them. Westie merchandise that can be purchased from their
gift shop includes clothing, novelties, home and garden items,
greeting cards, and Christmas ornaments. They also benefit from
sales of Westie merchandise purchased through their affiliation
with Westie Breed Store when the buyer uses the link at the
WestieMed website. They can be found at
http://www.westiemed.com/.
The West Highland White Terrier Club of America, Inc. also
offers a small selection of Westie merchandise in their
fundraising effort. Their merchandise includes limited edition
collector plates with images of Westies, and a few articles of
clothing. Their National Rescue Committee, which is responsible
for rescuing older Westies and placing them in new homes, has a
larger collection of clothing and small items of Westie
merchandise for their fundraising efforts. They can be found at
http://www.westieclubamerica.com/. There are also links at the
site to affiliated Westie clubs that are using sales of Westie
merchandise for fundraising.
In addition to non-profit organizations, there are a number of
retailers who have Westie merchandise available, from which a
portion of the proceeds is donated to dog and animal welfare
organizations. Michelle's Bark-n-Purr Toy Store is one such
retailer, and offers a selection of specifically Westie
merchandise, including clothing, toys, bedding, pillows, and
greeting cards. Their website is at
http://www.micheleswesties.com.
Also if you are looking for a lovely portrait of your pet, then
look further than the website at:

If you are looking not so much for Westie merchandise but
merchandise for your Westie, consider Rescue Pet Store. This
retailer offers a broad spectrum of everyday pet merchandise,
such as beds, collars, grooming tools, and carriers. Rescue Pet
not only promises to donate 10% of your total purchase to animal
rescue organizations, they let you choose the organization
before you complete the sale. They can be found at
