"Adopting" a Westie

[vx220]

We're about to take on a 6yr old male Westie, not sure how long for. Long story...

Any ideas for making his first few nights away from home easier for him?

Also, recommend a good insurer?

Any other General Westie info?

Thanks for the replies

Stubborn? Should fit right in here!

He's coming tomorrow!

Looks like "forever home"...

Westitude?

We have fallen on our feet with this little guy!

A little barking overnight (getting used to surroundings and cage, I guess? But settled for most of the night)

Doesn't like people sneezing, not sure how he'll deal with fireworks!

Walks well, doesn't try and jump up on the furniture, eats fine, doesn't bother us at the table, nothing I might have expected from a rehomed dog.

One slight issue...

Absolutely petrified of our smoke alarm!!! Like wetting himself terrified.

Ours is admittedly sensitive, so I may just move it, or try another brand?

As said, all else is good! He genuinely seems glad to be with us, I wish the kids we've fostered had been more like this!

We have plans for a "thunder cave" for the fireworks, we used to use our old clothes airer and towels and blankets when I was a lad for our dogs
