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 Maddy! This handsome 2-year-old Wheaten Terrier is looking for his forever family.
Maddy came to Coco’s Heart as a breeder surrender, which means the world outside of what he knew is still a big, scary place for him. But here's the thing about Maddy: underneath that shy exterior is the sweetest soul, just waiting to bloom with the right person by his side. He's making beautiful progress in his foster home every day, slowly discovering that humans can be loving and trusted.
Maddy will thrive in a home that offers him patience, gentleness, and consistency.
A few things to know about Maddy:
He'll need a securely fenced yard to feel safe and explore at his own pace
A confident canine companion in the home would be a huge help — he absolutely loves his foster sibling!
He does great with bathroom breaks outside when taken out on a regular schedule
He loves going for walks and exploring the world with his foster sibling from the safety of his leash
He needs an adopter who understands shy and fearful dogs and won't rush his timeline
Maddy isn't looking for a perfect family, just a patient one. If you're ready to be his safe place, he just might become yours too.
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!
