About Chevy

Hi, I’m Chevy. A compact model with a big engine and an even bigger voice. I love people. If you walk by, I’m already revving my tail. I’m loyal, lively, and ready to hit the road with someone who appreciates a spirited little sidekick. If you’re looking for a tiny companion with a big voice and a full tank of love, come take Chevy for a test-drive!

About Wheaten Terrier Dogs

Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers are medium-sized Irish farm dogs with a distinctive silky, wheaten-colored coat. They are among the most gentle and friendly of all terrier breeds, with a joyful, bouncy greeting style known as the "Wheaten greetin." Their happy personality is infectious.

Adopting a Wheaten Terrier brings a cheerful, affectionate companion who approaches everyone as a friend. They are wonderful with children, adaptable to many living situations, and their soft, non-shedding coat makes them popular with allergy sufferers.

Perfect weather for exploring Irvine’s extensive open spaces and community parks with your pet. Wildflowers bloom in the preserved natural areas, creating scenic walking routes. Pollen counts rise, so monitor pets with seasonal allergies for signs of discomfort.

The coastal marine layer keeps mornings cool, but afternoons can warm up, especially inland. Take advantage of the morning fog window for comfortable walks. Ample shade trees in Irvine’s planned green spaces help keep outdoor time safe even on warmer days.
