Are you in N.Ireland? If so, you could try ringing around the shelters...I know a lady who rang the shelters and asked them to let her know if the got a Westie in. A few weeks later she got a call from Assisi (Bangor) to say that an old lady was having to give up her little Westie due to her ill health. The shelter put the two people in touch wth each other and the westie was rehomed without ever having to be taken into the shelter at all. Might be worth a try?
