Great info Sam!! Thanks! Will there be a "tab" or something clickable on mycorgi.com home page for quick access to this information for any future missing corgis?

It is great that this group was started. I never would have known a fraction of those resources were out there.
I definitely second what Sam says about visiting the shelters in person. I can share from personal experience that calling will not always get you good information.
We once found an Alaskan-type dog and I thought it was a Malamute. We kept him at the house and I called the local shelter to report a found Malamute. Several days later we got a call from the owner. It turned out that he had called the shelter before us reporting a lost Husky. When I called to ask if anyone had reported a lost Malamute, they said "no" but didn't put two and two together and think to mention the Malamute. Luckily the owner checked back with the shelter a few days later and gave a much broader list of breeds that might be mistaken for his.
The moral is the shelter workers are dedicated volunteers with varying levels of knowledge. If you report a lost Corgi, they might only think Corgis come in red-and-white, or might not know they can have tails. They may have never seen a fluffy, or never seen a sleek-looking out-of-coat Corgi, or a fully coated show-type Corgi with a lot of hair. In other words, they could have your dog right there and not recognize it by your description and tell you "No, we don't have your dog." So please visit and walk through and look at every dog.

Also, CALL THE POLICE!!! There is a chance your dog has been stolen by someone who lives in the area.
We unfortunately found this out firsthand. A neighborhood teenager walking by everyday saw our Savannah and stole her. We eventually got her back (13 days later) but we filed a report with the police just in case she didn't escape. This kid was 18 and he went to jail.

VERIFY YOUR MICROCHIP when you visit the vet. The vet scanned Gwynnie's whole body carefully, and found no signal! Al's chip was detected immediately. Home Again will replace Gwynnie's free of charge.

You are the second person that I have heard saying that the microchip can get lost. Definitely, checking Nala's next week on her routine appointment. thanks.

Granted we live in the boonies but we call the radio staion and they will announce it:)

Take your mug shots of your dog BEFORE it gets lost, and have your flyer ready, so you don't have to prepare this while you're in a panic.
No joke: Gwynnie was gone, after dark, before I fenced the yard. We called, she didn't answer. No idea where, missing 15 minutes? Amid growing panic, Inspiration! I opened the basement door and turned on the Shop-Vac.
She had her teeth sunk into the plastic vacuum nozzle in 12.73 seconds.

Please have your animal chipped. It is relatively painless and any vet or shelter will automatically check an animal for a chip. This is the quickest way to identify an animal and its last owner of record.
There are pros and cons to putting a contact information tag on an animal. I happen to believe in them. Betty has a tag with her name, our home phone, our vets name and contact number, and a notice that she is chipped.
Lastly, she NEVER goes outdoors without either my wife or I present. She is never walked off lead. She is allowed to be off lead at the doggy park, but we takes turns watching her.
Be attentive and careful. Our companions are one of the most valuable things in our lives.
