Okay folks here is the scoop: this morning (4/27/09) I showed up at my place of work in the industrial district of east Pasco and found what looked like a hurt and starving stray Corgi hanging around the parking lot. Hurt, yes, but not stray, she had been abandoned. I say abandoned because she had a clean coat and no flees. She was limping heavily on her front right leg which looked like it was broken so my wife and I decided we had to catch her and get her some help.
You would think that with all these damned animal activist groups running around it wouldn't be that hard to find a clinic or something that could take her in and fix her up and not have to worry about them putting her down. But no, every where we went they wanted to charge us out the nose just to look at her (its not even my dog!). We finally gave in and took her to the Pet Emergency Services office because they could work with us on payment. So $130 latter here is what we know: 1) Her leg does not, now, seem to be broken. Looks like the injury is old and somewhat healed. It does not seem to be causing her any pain and the Vet thinks the reason for the limp is because it healed wrong and the leg is not 100% functional. 2) She is very young, has not been fixed and has not had any pups. 3) She has a serious heart murmur that may end up shortening her life. 4) She has a slight cough and temp. 5) Vets are bastards.
Here's the bottom line folks: this is a really sweet dog that just needs a lot of love. She has not been aggressive towards my wife or I at all, not even towards our two cats, not even when they started eating her food. She is very quiet and loving and would make a great pet for someone who has the time and money to take care of her. If you think that is you please contact me by phone (378-0844) or e-mail (towlerack @yahoo.com), my name is Steve. All that we ask is some help with the vet consultation bill.

I just found out that he found someone who is taking her to a rescue in Idaho that specializes in dogs with leg issues.
Here is the email I got from him and the a picture of the little darling.
First I would like to say thank you to everyone who responded to my post on craigs list, I really didn't expect so many so soon. But I am both sorry and glad to say that a nice woman named Carrie at the humane society found a Corgi rescue shelter in Idaho that specializes in dogs with leg injuries that has agreed to take this little squashed cabbage leaf. And Carrie has volunteered to drive her up there. I'm so sorry to get all your hopes up but I will feel a lot better sending her somewhere I know she will get what ever medical attention she may need before she finds a permanent home. Again, thank you for your interest and concern, and I am sorry.
-Steve
P.S. Attached is a picture I couldn't get to work on my post.
