I spoke to Megan, she said they didn't have anything to do with this rescue, but she knows people who have taken some in and would love to have extra foster homes for them. She will send you a form to fill out and forward it to the correct people. I never heard anything back from the original person listed..Anitra? I did fill out a form for the rescue that took them, and just waiting to hear back. Is there anything else I should be doing? I'd love to be able to foster one...

Hi Jennifer, Anitra was out on the rescue, they drove through the night and the ones she personally took have been fostered from what I can tell...

As of 8AM - Here's a mini update: half of the dogs are in CO, south of Denver, half of them are still at the mill. The dogs are being vetted and bathed. A number of dogs are going to MN, there's talk regarding transport to St. Louis and KY, National Mill Dog Rescue is organizing this, the organization does know about CorgiAid. Stay tuned for details and ways you can help.

Picture #4 New foster Corgi arrived in Minneapolis last night and is looking for her forever home! Her name is "Bubbles" (right now). Tiny girl, about 4 years old, incredibly affectionate. She has come from the Iowa puppy mill so she will need a bit of consistency, but would be an amazing companion for any Corgi lover. Lots of energy! Soft as a mink. Contact Secondhand Hounds to make an application for her!

Okay, I'm still working to get all the details hammer out, I will notify everyone and let you know how you can help when the plan is in place. In the mean time, please understand and stop calling National Mill Dog Rescue, they are working hard and overwhelm, they do not have the time to answer phone calls and re-tell the situation / listen to mill rants. Please be patient.
