Oh I know what you mean! My corgi mix Bruce was 10 when we rescued him. He is just the best dog and so loving and attached to me like crazy! He's 14 now and I am SO glad we decided to bring him home.

Sophie is a rescue Corgi. We adopted her when she was 7 years old. She is now 8 years old. Our lives have been so enriched by adding her to our family. She is the best! Our German Shepherd, Lucy, is also a rescue, and she is an absolute sweetheart. I really do believe that rescue dogs share a special bond with their families...I know both of mine do.

Before I got Ein, I casually searched petfinder and went to adoption events for about a year hoping to find a corgi. After the decision was made that we were going to get a corgi, I was on petfinder almost daily and went to the adoption events at both petsmart and petco every saturday for about 6 months. Unfortunately the youngest and healthiest corgi I could find was 7 years old and had aggression issues. Corgis are not popular in my area and people always ask "What is that?" when they see Ein…

Unfortunately the youngest and healthiest corgi I could find was 7 years old and had aggression issues. Corgis are not popular in my area and people always ask "What is that?" when they see Ein today. So I went to a breeder. I am was happy with the breeder and her corgis are very social and healthy. She had a farm with lots of room for them to run!<br />

I still go to the adoption events at least two saturdays a month mostly just to get some socialization for Ein (We don't have dog parks here :( ). Last saturday I was surprised when I saw a sweet 12 week old little corgi. I called everyone I knew until I found a home for him. My cousin adopted him and named him Pixle.

I also agree with the rescue idea. We wanted a puppy for our first dog,but couldn't find one on petfinder or in our local shelters. So, we purchased a puppy from a breeder. But, I made sure that we adopted our second dog from a rescue. Ed, from a rescue in Northern MN has been a wonderful addition. He is such a loving little puppy and Ed and Ein get along most of the time (they are trying to figure out who is top dog after almost 2 months). Ed did come with some baggage that we are working on,…

I agree! I have 3 corgis; all rescues! My first one, Yogi, is the best dog I have ever had. The unfortunate problem is that he has Degenerative Myelopathy and I am praying that the other 2 corgis, Mavis (who has severe arthritis and only 5 years old) and now Arlo (14 weeks old). We have a bloodhound who I purchased from a breeder 11 years ago, obviously a great breeder and Opal has surpassed life span and our loveable mutt, JD. RESCUE, RESCUE, RESCUE!

All of ours are rescues of some form or another...shelter, unwanted, give-a-ways, etc. Not saying I wouldn't go to the expense of using a reputable breeder, because I would. But there are so many of these wonderful dogs who need homes. One article I read said that up to 25% of all dogs in shelters are pure-breeds. Shelter dogs do come with baggage, though. Usually it's some type of destructive behavior that exists because of uninformed or uncaring owners. It's always a good idea to put shelter…

Koa is also a rescue! Our lives have been truly blessed by his presence....only now I want MORE CORGIS....I might be the future world record holder of rescued corgis!!!! Seriously though, you could also be a foster parent to these great dogs.

Really? Id love to know more information about her! I fully plan on getting another dog when I move out which should be the end of this year/beginning of next and I want to research as many corgis as I can to make sure I get the right one :]

There is a lady in Mt. Gilead, Ohio that rescues Corgis and other dogs from either Amish puppy mills or high kill shelters. I hope that she is still doing rescues when Duncan and Chloe are gone....which I hope is not for many, many years yet.
