Hi everyone!
I've been doing my research, and have decided to finally adopt a corgi! I've been in love with corgi's since I was in junior high, and I am now 23 years old :)
I live in Chicago, and I have been searching through many breeders and shelters. As a first-time dog owner, I think it would be best for me to get a dog that's at least 1 or 2 years old.
I haven't had any luck finding a young/adult corgi; I've only come up with puppies. If anyone has information please let me know! Thank you!

The breeder I just got my puppy from has an older dog (male) she is selling. I know Michigan is a little far from you but you could check into if you're interested. It's DeKunst Kennels in Carson City Michigan.
Do you have a car? Corgi Connection Of Kansas has some really wonderful dogs ready for new homes after their time in foster homes. I am sure that a transportation train could even be worked out. Midwestern dogs lovers unite! Please, please give their webpage a look.
PS-They take in dogs from all over the Midwest. I think they work miracles!

I applied for this adorable guy and spoke with the woman who is fostering him this morning!

There is one other applicant she has to interview. Please keep your fingers crossed that she chooses me! My heart is melting for him!
