Newly rescued Wheatens are evaluated for health, temperament, training history, and other factors that could affect their ability to be successful pets. Sometimes needed interventions are as simple as getting a very matted dog bathed and groomed. For other dogs, it may be necessary to arrange for needed veterinary care.
Dogs that have been abused or neglected may be nervous and frightened and must learn to trust people again, in which case NWR enlists the help of trusted Wheaten behavior experts and/or foster home volunteers. If the Wheaten was given up because of an unresolved behavior problem, NWR calls on training experts to help.
Although each dog may have different needs, fulfilling NWR’s mission requires investing in resources that help each dog be successful in a new home. In short, NWR does what it takes to create the SUCCESS STORIES highlighted on that page of this website.
