History: We recently welcomed a group of adult Wheaten Terriers who were being released from a commercial breeding program after the program was selling out. It is a big feat for these and any future wheatens that would have been produced from this program.
The ones who came to CHDR are doing well in their foster homes but very shut down and timid yet. They will thrive with patient and confident adopters who are willing to put the time into growing a bond with their new dog as it may take some time to develop but these dogs are SO SO worth it. They are amazing souls who each deserve their forever home!
A Note from the Foster: Meet Aiden, a male 2-year-old Wheaten Terrier, recently released from a breeder.
He is very timid and skittish with people, usually choosing to hide or run away rather than approach. He has never shown any aggression. No growling, no biting, he’s simply frightened. He adores other dogs and will flourish in a home with gentle, friendly pups.
He usually needs to be coaxed into entering or exiting the house, but he knows how to go to the bathroom outside and always keeps his kennel space clean.
Aiden loves food and treats, and is just beginning to explore toys when no one is watching. He may need help being carried through doorways or up/down stairs until he feels safe.
This special dog needs an experienced, extremely patient home that understands shy dogs and is willing to let him warm up on his own timeline. If you have the quiet space and gentle heart he needs, Aiden could be your perfect match.
Adoption Fee: $560 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
