Wheatens In Need Rescue

10/17/2026

Just in case you think that puppy mills can’t possibly be as bad as we’ve been saying, here are some before and after grooming photos of the six dogs we got from Iowa yesterday.

Special thanks to Connie Bishop for getting these dogs and making sure they were vetted, groomed and delivered to their foster/adoptive homes.

We are still looking for a home to take bonded pair Janie and JJ, ages 8 and 6. If you are interested, please fill out an adoption application at wheatensinneed.org and call or text Gwen at (713) 906-6048 for more information. They are being fostered in Kansas.

We are trying to find homes for seven mixed breed puppies in Houston, Texas. Three females (pink, purple and red collars) and four males (green, medium blue, light blue and brown collars. Date of whelp: 8/12/26.

We have been told that they are Wheaten-American Bulldog crosses. They were vetted and received their first round of vaccinations today.

If you are interested, please fill out an adoption application at wheatensinneed.org and then call or text Gwen at +1 (713) 906-6048 for more information.

We are getting 6 more dogs from the same facility in Iowa that surrendered 14 dogs to us last year:

* An 8 year old male
* 5 females ages 3 to 8 years old

We are taking applications for foster/adopt. The adoptions will not be finalized until they are fully vetted by WIN.

If interested in any of these dogs, please fill out an adoption application at wheatensinneed.org . After you have submitted your application, call or text Gwen at 713-906-6048 for more information.

We are taking applications for the following dogs:

1. Maggie - Pennsylvania: 2 year old spayed female. Cannot be around small dogs but is OK with larger dogs.

2. Leah - Texas: 9 year old spayed female. Needs a new home because her owner died.

3. Willow - Pennsylvania: 6 year old spayed female. Is food aggressive so needs to be an only dog and in a hike without small children.

4. Lexi - Pennsylvania: 9 year old spayed female. Needs a new home because her owners are dealing with some serious health issues. She is a one-person dog who gets attached to her person and becomes protective of them, so she needs to be an only dog in a one person home.

If you are interested in any of these ladies, please fill out an adoption application at wheatensinneed.org. After you’ve submitted your application, call or text Gwen at (713) 906-6048 for more information.

Thanks to some wonderful volunteers from the Phoenix Wheaten Terrier Meet Up group, Barron and Molly, the two senior Wheatens we told you about two weeks ago, are on their way to a new forever home in California.

Tom Heck took Barron and Molly from foster mom Colleen Carrick this morning and drove them to Blythe, California to meet their new parents Jeff and Karen.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. We were really worried about these two when we were first notified about them, but the Arizona Wheaten folks did a stellar job in making sure they were taken care of until the perfect home came along.

Remembering Rosie, who was one of the first Wheatens we rescued from the Heartland Classics puppy mill in 2017. She was about 7 at the time and she lived another 8+ years with the Johnston family in Pennsylvania. She went to the Rainbow Bridge a few weeks ago. Here she is after a trip to the groomer and with the spoils of labors after a night of frogging on the family farm.

Rest in peace, Rosie.

Barron and Molly in Phoenix, Arizona are both 9 years old and in need of foster homes. Barron has been with the family since August 2017. Molly was adopted at two years old in March 2019.

Barron and Molly were cared for and loved for many years. Their owner died and his partner is suffering from cognitive decline and has been unable to keep up with their grooming and veterinary needs. Both have been vetted. Molly is up to date on all of her vaccinations now, and Barron will be brought up to date on his in two weeks, once he has finished treatment for an ear infection.

Both dogs are in foster home now, but she can only keep them until Tuesday. We have another offer to possibly take them, but that volunteer will be out of town starting in mid-September. They can go to separate foster homes if necessary. Both dogs are a little reserved at first but very sweet once they get to know you.

If anyone is able to help, even on a temporary basis, please fill out a volunteer app at wheatensinneed.org and contact Gwen at +1 (713) 906-6048. WIN will cover all veterinary and grooming expenses.

💜🩷💚❤️🩵Remember Wheaten owners…all Wheaten Terriers should have annual blood work ups that include a super chem, cbc, urinalysis and a urine protein creatinine ratio. If you do not know the PLN variant gene test results on your Wheaten Terrier you need to get that done. You can get the DNA test from the AKC or Optimal Selection or whatever. I have a list on the Endowments website! Click here!!! See picture of Dr Littman. She’s awesome!
