Wheaten Terrier puppies and dogs in Ansonia, Connecticut

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Casper was saved from a high-kill shelter in Calfornia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Wednesday 3rd August. We post our available dogs in states across the East Coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes of finding perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs — families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and, hopefully, take home their new best friend. Health & Background &#226&#156&#133 Neutered &#226&#156&#133 Rabies and core vaccines up to date &#226&#156&#133 On monthly flea/tick preventatives &#226&#156&#133 Microchipped &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: 33 lbs (mid July) Estimated DoB: 1 April 2025 Casper was lucky to go to a Foster Home on 20 December, sharing his new temporary home with a former GaDaH foster dog (foster fail). Foster update to follow in a few days when he has settled in. Foster Family Update - 29 December 2025 Casper has settled in quite well. He and Tilly, my 8 y.o. All American (also from GADAH) are doing well, playing and chasing quite a bit. She occasionally corrects him when he gets out of line and he's respectful of that. He's still not great on a leash and, now that the holidays are behind us, we'll be working on that. He appears to be very trainable and is responsive to both treats and praise. I'm beginning to suspect he may turn out to be a "Velcro dog" as he wants to be close to me all the time! That may just be insecurity due to his recent move here; time will tell. He loves, loves, loves toys! Squeaky toys, stuffed toys, anything that makes noise - he plays with them all. At first, I thought he wasn't house broken but that turned out to be because he's so "leash shy". Since he's learned to pee while on the leash, he has not had a single accident in the house. He does NOT ride well at this point. When we drove home with him, he drooled for the entire two hours - in quantities that would have made a Mastiff proud! We're also working on that, taking rides up and down the driveway most days. As his tolerance grows, I'll increase the distance.   Cats are a work in progress. I have three, all dog-savy, and I'm not leaving him alone with them at this point. He ignores the oldest female and is mostly reasonable with the male but is too aggressive with the younger female for comfort. I'm not sure if that's something I'lll be able to train him out of or not. He may turn out to be better off in a home without cats, although I'm not sure of that yet . He's very affectionate - a real love bug - and will make some family a wonderful addition. He's going to be a nice, manageable size, energetic but not crazy, eager to please and smart enough to learn whatever you want him to learn. He is truly a delight!   Video context - My daughter and son-in-law came to dinner last night. Casper was a bit timid - for about 30 seconds - and then did very well with them. After supper, my son-in-law laid on the floor to play with Casper and was thoroughly snuffed. Henry is extremely ticklish and those whiskers must have really tickled! Casper was a bit confused by it all!

Well hello there! My name is Kya. I’m a 9-year-old purebred Wheaten Terrier, about 46 pounds, and I’m finally getting my chance to live the life I was always meant to have. My whole life, I wasn’t someone’s pet — I was a breeding dog. I always hoped one day I’d get to be a real part of someone’s family and now I have my chance! I’m incredibly sweet, loving, and I truly enjoy being close to my people. I walk nicely on leash, I’m house trained, and I have the steady presence that only comes with time and wisdom. I don’t ask for much — just soft voices, kind hands, and a place where I can finally relax and feel safe. What I want most is to be someone’s center of attention for the first time in my life. I have so much love saved up, and I’m ready to give it all to my forever family! Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://www.anewchancear.org/adopt/our-adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit. Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog. We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://www.anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://www.anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org) Thanks so much.

This cutie is Teddy. He is currently 4 months old. We think they may be a Wheaten terrier/goldendoodle mix, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place. Watch Teddy’s playful personality here: https://youtu.be/Q6Brxd2ngyU?si=ryPBOZcNgc7wlg_0 Teddy is playful, sweet, curious, and cuddly. He loves to play with his siblings and take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat- such is puppy life! We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Teddy is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving at their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well-rounded adult dog. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
