Compared to the rest of the shelters in the North Texas area, HSNT seems to be raining Corgis! Reba is the 5th I've seen in about three months and looks like a great dog!
Reba is our Miss Tenby Brown - We adopted her Wednesday night from HSNT and she's been a great addition to our family. Poor girl had been adopted twice previously, third time's a charm! I guess we should be thankful for the last person who brought her back because she sheds, lol!
Yay! I'm glad someone adopted Reba. She looked like such a sweet dog. We definitely had a good experience with HSNT, and I think the foster house we got Lilu from was their go-to house for corgi's. It was in Mansfield and when we went they had a bunch of corgi's (including the 3 puppies running around that were Lilu and her siblings at the time) as well as some kittens, chickens, and maybe even a horse. I know they do have some dogs at their shelter locations, but I love that they try to put as many with foster homes as possible. It helps the dogs to be able to socialize and run around and get people attention.
I am so happy for Reba! And so glad you were able to adopt her! I think it is the best Christmas present Reba could have received! Merry Christmas!!!!!
Emma was just spayed last week, which is hard to believe because she's back to her normal self, regardless of the staples she has. I'd like to take her out, but I was told two weeks. Anyone else had a similar experience after spaying?
Does Watson have his rabies shot and tags? I know the Plano dog park requires dogs to have had their rabies shots and have city tags. Kirby's not scheduled to have his rabies shot until late this month, right around the time he turns 4 months, and can't get a Plano tag until he gets it.
He does indeed have his rabies shot. That's why I'm excited to go. I think I'm going to Wagging Tail for the first time he goes. I haven't gotten him his city tag yet.
Guys I have a male red and white and a female tricolor that I need to find a good home for. My wife works at the SPCA and these were owner surrendered to them, we believe they were a breeding pair in a puppy mill as you can tell the female has had several litters and both were unfixed. Anyways we found a very nice home for them with a couple that had a corgi mix and a Great Pyrenese (I'm sure I misspelled that). Things were great four about six months but the the Pyrenese began to pick on the male corgi and the female defended him. Needless to say the corgi lost that fight and they have had to pay over a thousand in vet bills. Both of them are staying with us while we find a new home. They are sooo sweet, we have a red and white female Pembroke and they get along great, we have three cats and have had no problems. The last owners had smal lchildren and that was not an issue so I beleive the only problem would be a home with a larger dominant dog. If you are interested in finding these two a forever home please contact me 337-356-6716. We are in Midland.
Ft. Woof would be a bit far from us, bc we are in Carrolton. So, Addison is closer but I could trek out to Denton. It's larger than Wagging Tail to be fair.
Shelly - is Emmy coming? Emma would love to meet them :p
Yay! Rook is such a cutie! I would prefer closer than fort woof if possible, but it doesn't matter to me. Denton people, we can all take my car...Corgi caravan!!!!!
We live in Frisco and have two Corgi's, 7-yo Roscoe and 6-mo old baby Evie. We'd love a get together, but, honestly, I'm not driving out to FW or Denton. Frisco has a new dog park and Plano has the great Jack Carter dog park. If there's others in far North Dallas who'd like to do a weekend play date closer to this area, we'd love that.
Hey guys! Emmy and I will probably be there as well! If we are doing it at Fort Woof, we would love to ride with you, Shelly! I hope Ben and Jappy can come!
People already think I'm a creepy Corgi stalker anyway... go for it :) So...Fort Worthians...I've driven way down to you many times...would anyone be really upset if we did a North Dallas meetup this time? I'm cool with Denton, Frisco, or Plano - Frisco's probably the most central. We could also do lunch at the Londoner! The patio's supposed to be dog-friendly (especially for the queen's dog!) Let me know what you guys think!
We've only been to the Plano park before, but anywhere North Dallas-ish is fine -- what is the name of the park so we can get directions? I think it will be Roo's turn, since he's all healed and can run around again (yeah! say we all who lived with him in captivity for 8 weeks, lol).
How's 1:00? It looks like the address is 3335 4th Army Memorial Rd., Frisco, TX - south of the ball fields. Let me know if that's wrong (I've never been). Denton people, send me a note if you wanna ride together. My car knows the way! :)
Okay, I got the Frisco thing started, and now we're unexpectedly going out of town for the weekend. Isn't that the way it always goes? The Frisco park is nice, yes, that's the address, and it does, indeed have a nice shaded seating area.
If folks like it, then maybe this location can be in the regular rotation and we'll make the next one. Best wishes...Chris
The meet-up today was awesome!!! We probably had 15 corgis at one point or another - they were everywhere! Here are a few pictures I snapped with my phone, but I know there are much better ones out there:
Thanks for sharing your pics. You just had to get a "Corgi butt" shot in there. LOL I am sure there was no dog hairs in your car after the fact.. ha ha ...
I'm sad I missed the meet up today because I was at work. But I went to Wagging Tail after work, and lucky for me there were 3 other corgi's there! So Lilu and Loki at least got to play with a few corgis today. Hopefully I can make the next meet up.

I have Friday off. Does anyone want to meet up at a dog park? I moved. So, I can do Keller Springs or even Denton. :)

There is a young, male tri available at the Pilot Point shelter. Looks like a Pemmie.

He's in OK, but he's a husky/corgi mix. If Emma weren't still do young, I'd jump all over this. He's adorable.
