Loving corgis - giving back to those you love

I am sure you have all felt the sting of the change in economy. It is certainly affecting everyone in all walks of life. You may not know but it is also affecting the very dogs we love. I think most of the rescue pals I know have experienced an increase in the dogs coming into their program. The shelters are exploding with dogs. People are moving to smaller quarters, many are moving to different states and some can just no longer afford to care for their canine pals.
How can you help? May I suggest you contact the corgi rescues in your area and offer assistance in any way you can. All are in need of additional foster homes, folks willing to transport dogs, people willing to go to shelters and identify dogs. Monetary donations are always much appreciated as most rescues operate on a shoestring budget.
Do know that fostering is a challenging but rewarding job. Rescue groups each have different requirements. Many may ask for references. This is to help them know that people are generally responsible, love animals and have the abilities to work with a dog that may have an unknown background. One must have the ability to separate dogs within the home, time to socialize and do some basic training and stay in contact with their group.
If you wish to give back to the breed that has offered so much to you consider helping a rescue group of your choice. The dogs come out the winners.

I have seen this. I recently had a call from a shelter asking about my corgi rescue and if I could take an 11 years old Corgi...not due to the corgi herself but due to the family's house forclosure. I was not able to due to having other rescues at the time but I did email everyone on my corgi list that I could think of and happily the dog was adopted 1 hour after being put on the available list so even if you can't help PLEASE remember to get the word out there and maybe someone else can help...I don't know if it was the emails I sent out but I did get emails back saying that they had notified others and I hope that my email did make the difference!
