Trailer Puppies

A litter of Wheatable puppies were
abandoned and left in an old trailer with no
fans or air conditining in 90+
temperatures. When they were
discovered, several had unfortunately
already died from heat exhaustion. We
would like to be able to bring these 5 into
rescue as they are no in a kill shelter and
only have a few days before they will be
euthanized.

With the rescue of the 5 puppymill dogs
today, we are beyond full and we are
looking for emergency foster homes who
can take in these puppies. Please help us
make the agony they endured in that
trailer a beginning of a new life for these
babies.

I do not know sexes yet but will post that
when I get that information. Pictures of the
5 puppies are below. The puppies will be
located in Kansas City, MO.

If you are willing to give a temporary or
permanent home to one of these puppies,
please fill out a foster application on the
main page and email us directly at
rescue@wheatenterrierrescue.org

8/22 Update

Thanks to all the people who have
expressed an interest in these puppies.
With your help we have committed to
taking them into rescue!

The plans are as of now that we will pick
up these puppies from the shelter this
Saturday. I will get them into the vet on
Monday and hopefully they will be in good
enough condition to be spayed and
neutered that week. Assuming that we are
able to do that they will need to go on to
foster/forever homes the weekend of
September 3rd as we are beyond full here.

The puppies are estimated to be between
4 and 5 months of age.

If you are interested and are able to come
to Kansas City that weekend, please email
me directly at
rescue@wheatenterrierrescue.org

If this changes I will update this page and
let everyone know.

8/27 Update

Four of the five puppies are now here in
rescue. The fifth, Sylvie was adopted at
the shelter.

The puppies were all very happy to be
reunited and spent the afternoon running
around in the yard playing.

The black male, Jake, is a total lovebug
and lapdog. He just wants to be held,
petted and loved.

The other three are a bit more wary and
reserved but by the end of the day they
were coming up asking to be petted.

All four have vets appointments on
Monday and are scheduled for spaying
and neutering on Tuesday.

All should be ready to go to their new
homes the weeked on Sept. 3rd.

Jimmy went to his forever home today!
The adoption for Jennie has fallen through
and she is now available to be adopted.

Several people have written asking if the
puppies are mixed with a chow due to
some of them having black on their
tongues. This is a common old wives tale
that is untrue. Many breeds, including
purebred Wheatens, can have black
pigmentation on their tongues, it has
nothing to do with a chow being in their
lineage.
