Adult Corgi Female Located in Fort Collins

About 6 months ago, I rescued a 5 year old female corgi from someone that just kept her in a kennel all the time. I have been working with her and she has made progress but I now have to find her a new home due to daughters allergies. Which we didnt realize til we started bringing Zoie inside because of the cold weather. She will need some time to adjust to a new family and it took her a couple weeks to even start coming up to us once we started to just ignore her. But she plays well with the… Continue

DOOOOLEY!!!!!!!!!! HE'S HERE!

Oh, my gosh -- you all can't believe how I feel right now -- a sudden wave of mixed emotions has taken my breath away to find Dooley on here! I'm crying and really don't have much to say because the words are hard to come by -- I will talk with everyone later.

Goodbye, Dooley -- Part 2

After reading all the kinds words, I feel it is necessary to clarify my anger -- I was crying when I wrote the first part, and probably left out details and confused a lot of readers.

First of all, there is not one person on this site that I am angry with. All of you, beginning with Sam Tsang and his wife, stepped up to the plate to help me get this dog to safety. It is the people behind the scenes I'm angry with -- including myself.

Second of all, Dooley is not yet with… Continue

Goodbye, Dooley -- I will always love and remember you!

On Saturday, October 31st, (Halloween) Dooley was taken to Texas to be adopted. I didn't pre-post or discuss this ahead of time, as I didn't want to vacillate and question myself in self torment. Now, that I'm home, slept for a few hours after a long road trip, am drinking coffee while Topaz and Frankie are outside enjoying the beautiful weather and sunshine, I'm actually tormented anyway.

After 2 1/2 months of fostering Dooley, awaiting placement, getting excited because a space… Continue

Rehoming Corgi - Seattle Area.

Home found and he's doing awesome in it! Thank you for all your help! :D

I don't have all the details yet, and I've only met the dog a few times myself.

However, he's coming here tomorrow morning to foster with me and I'll evaluate him and get a better picture of what he's like...

Edit - okay, this is a NICE dog. A really, really nice dog. If I didn't have four of my own I'd take this guy, but he really deserves a home where he can be an only child. I… Continue

Dooley -- Two Week Update

Well, two weeks ago last night I brought Dooley to my home for fostering until placement in an adoption rescue. I can't believe I actually had to look at the calendar to see how long ago it was -- it feels as if he's been a part of my family all his life!

Of course there are little spats with the others, but they don't last long. Dooley rarely instigates or joins in when one of my others is in a bad mood. He'd rather walk away a few feet, turn around and smile! Poof! Situation… Continue

THE STORY OF DOOLEY - TRI-COLORED FLUFFY

"There is a character named Dooley in the Mitford Series by Jan Karon. He is a young boy that is given up by his mother, comes to live with a pastor, grows up to be a fine person. This elderly woman, Miss Sadie sees the potential in Dooley and sets up a million dollar trust fund for him when he reaches 21. You ask where is this story going??? You saw the potential in this dog and gave him a new lease on life, which is priceless."

The above was sent to me in an email from an… Continue

Dooley -- Okay, Gang, let's talk!

After a rough weekend, and 4 hours on the road Monday night to get Dooley, as he is now named, life is getting back to wonderful! He's an absolute joy of a fur ball -- and OMG! does he have the fur! It's everywhere, in my coffe cup, bed, car, on my clothes -- oh, well, it's been said that no outfit is complete without pet hair!

I've tried my best to get photos of his "stubby" legs, but he won't stand still long enough. He's just so happy to be someplace where there are others to play… Continue

TRI-COLORED FLUFFY -- HE'S HERE IN MY HOME, SAFE AND HAPPY!

I've got Duncan!!!!!!!!! The Ford County Humane Society named him, I didn't. I'm thinking about calling him "Dooley," as he's got Pembroke face, head, and skeletal structure, but he also has Cardi "turkey toes" and body size -- a bit

large-boned, but light weight. He's adorable, sweet, loveable, friendly, inquisitive, playful, and everything anyone would want!

He slept all the way in the 2-hour car ride last night -- even snored! When I introduced him to my other Corgis, it… Continue

Rescuing a Tri-Colored Fluffy in Kill Shelter

Well, by now, many of you have seen the urgent post of a couple of days ago regarding a Tri-Colored Fluffy in a kill shelter in Kansas. So that some of you may understand better what I went through to save this little boy, I will explain in greater detail.

First, I am a volunteer rescue transport in Oklahoma and have transported many dogs of all breeds in the past several years, as I live in a town that also has a kill shelter.

Second, I was advised that there was a… Continue

UPDATE -- TRI -COLORED FLUFFY IN KILL SHELTER

SUCCESS! I finally found a licensed Kansas rescuer that would allow me to sign out the Tri-Colored Fluffy under her license number as a foster on her organization's behalf! I will be picking the dog up afterall, just not as soon as I had hoped, because of the red tape we've had to go through all day to find someone who was willing to work with me sight unseen.

After about 30 days of fostering and assessment in my home for quirks, habits, traits, etc., he will be available for… Continue

Update on Emmett

If you've been following me on Twitter, you already know I had an eventful week. Here's the beginning incase you missed it.

Emmett came to me at only 19 lbs, I had a difficult time getting him to eat last week, I've tried broth / chicken / peanut butter / fries / wet food / dry food ...etc. He did not want any of it. He was lethargic, hid… Continue

Say hello to... Katamari!

I posted a few entries back that I'm adopting a 1yr old female Pembroke from the animal shelter. Well, this was her first day home. She was very groggy from being sedated for spay surgery. She wasn't her usual spritely hyper self, but she was still very loving. She did snap at my 4yr old Faye when she passed by. I was so surprised that Faye was so well-behaved. I praised her and pet them both at the same time. Katamari stole Faye's bed hahaha so sad.…

Meet Emmett :)

Emmett is a handsome boy from Fort Myers, he is a quiet guy and have been well traveled for the last couple of days. Thanks to Maggi who busted him out of the shelter, followed by spending a night at Mike's on Thursday, he was then transported to central Florida and stayed at Kelly's on Friday and now he's finally here with me on the east coast.

Emmett will be spending the next couple… Continue

We're home!

We came back home from our adventure to Minnesota last night around 7:30pm. We had one major tussle in the car as Chloe felt a little cornered by Riley as we took them out to potty at one of the stops on the ride home. It's been 24 hours, and it's been bittersweet.

Chloe is such a vibrant personality, very out going, incredibly loving, and will follow you everywhere. The girl loves to run! She had a blast out in the backyard! But we've got some personal space issues with other dogs,… Continue

I'm likey adopting a rescue corgi

These last few weeks has been an adventure at Petfinder.com

Cricket didn't work out because the shelter didn't email me back or contact me at all about questions and concerns I had. So now I'm looking outside the state. My search has taken me to two different cities in Minnesota. Chloe in New Ulm, MN and Cooper in Tracy, MN.

Chloe has had it rough. she's been to two different homes and had problems because the people didn't properly understand the breed and its demands,… Continue
