Most people volunteer with NWR because they know and love Wheatens!  NWR Board members, and most people volunteering to help during rescue interventions, have at least one Wheaten and all of them believe that helping these wonderful dogs is one way to give something back to a breed that is the source of so much joy for so many people.

NWR volunteers love seeing a frightened, unhappy, and sometimes sick Wheaten get better as a result of NWR resources or interventions.  And, even better, seeing that dog become a beloved member of a new forever home with a family who has actively chosen to give it the love and care it deserves after being rescued.  NWR’s work delivers so many win-wins!  Who could ask for something more rewarding than that?
