We need help getting one of our recent puppy mill rescues, who is currently in Nebraska, to a new foster home in Lewisville, Texas.

The proposed route is:

South Lincoln, Nebraska to Topeka, Kansas, to Wichita, Kansas, I-35 through Oklahoma City and on to Dallas.

No dates have been set yet but we’d like to do this as soon as possible. If you are interested, please fill out a volunteer app and leave a comment below. Please state what leg you would like to drive and what dates you are available.

And then there were two.

Last year we took in 14 dogs from a facility in Iowa. Yesterday we took six more. The owner originally planned to keep two females - a 13-year-old and a 6-year-old. Today she called and said that she had changed her mind about keeping these two and asked us to take them as well. Connie Bishop will be going back to get them on Saturday, November 24th.

We’ll need two more foster-to-adopt homes. If you are interested please submit an adoption application at wheatensinneed.org and contact Gwen at +1 (713) 906-6048 for more information. WIN will cover all vet and grooming costs during the foster period.

Note: These are not the dogs in the photo, which is being used just as an example.

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.

These two girls, Janie and JJ, ages 6 and 8, are part of the group of dogs we are getting from Iowa. They are closely bonded so we are looking for a home to take both of them. If you are interested, please fill out an app at wheatensinneed.org and call or text Gwen at +1 (713) 906-6048.

10/09/2026

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.
