Welcome to the Colony Dogs Website

In 2003, we launched a pledge drive to support the Wheatens and Wheagles within Dr. Shelly Vaden's research colony at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. We care about the Colony Dogs research being done by Dr. Vaden because of its importance to the health of the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier breed.

We hope you will explore this website to learn more about the Wheatens and Wheagles Colony Dogs, the work they've enabled, and how you can help by making a donation or a pledge to support the Colony Dogs.
