This Southern California volunteer organization rescues special needs Corgis from high-kill shelters. The rescue emphasizes rehabilitating the Corgis medically and managing behaviors through training. The rescue has a small facility in SoCal but largely relies on foster homes.
The Corgis come from California shelters and direct owner surrenders. They provide the rescue Corgis with a safe environment, medical care, and obedience training until they match the right family. The rescue’s adoption process is standard and timing varies depending on the waiting list and your match with a Corgi in the system. The rescue works with its devoted foster families network to provide a sanctuary for the Corgi as it waits for their lifetime homes. Their rescue Corgis come as stray dogs, abused dogs, owner-surrendered, and from animal control.
The adoption process is standard and linear compared to other rescues. After an application, you can expect the rescue coordinator to be in touch within 48 hours. The rescue only adopts out healthy Corgis to new or experienced adopters. If you’re outside this area, you can speak to the rescue for consideration. The rescue will walk with you through the process and after you settle in.
The club became one of the oldest in North America and the world. The club coordinates its efforts under the National rescue trust guidelines. To adopt a rescue Corgi, you will need to contact Sherilyn on the contact details below. She will send you an adoption application and guide you through the standard procedures.
The rescue administers the proper medical attention, spays/neuters the Corgis, updates the Corgis on vaccines and places them in a suitable foster home. Corgis and children make wonderful friends as long as your kids are good with them. Many rescues will not adopt to families with kids under 7 years old because of the dog’s and child’s safety. Kids will be kids, and rescue Corgi will not react like a responsible parent.
