I think this year is the year

I know that there are a couple of similar posts, posted within the last week in fact, but they are not in my area.

I have been lurking on this site for a couple years now, occasionally very active but recently not so much, so some of you may remember me.

I live in Waunakee, WI (right by Madison) and have a yard fenced on 2 sides, sadly not four. My husband has a wonderful job that he loves and things are going well in life. I think it would be a good year to get a corgi. My husband would prefer a puppy, but I am open to any age corgi. I've been looking on petfinder and such, but most corgis are in rescues 5+ hrs away.

So, I thought I should ask if anyone new someone who is 5 hrs or less from the Madison area who will be having puppies this year or is perhaps retiring a dog.

Are you looking for a pem or a cardi?

Although I love both breeds, most of my knowledge applies to Pembrokes, so I think I will go pem. That and my husband strongly desires a little socialite. I know it is not true of every cardi, but what I've inferred is that they prefer their families while pems don't generally meet a stranger. I could be wrong though.

So happy for you. Weren't you out east after being in MN? I met you at Renissance festival a couple years ago. Good luck in your search and can't wait to hear more:) You could check out the Lakeshore Corgi rescue they might have something??? I have one of your pics also...

Thank you! Yes, I know where I have been living has been a bit confusing. I was in MN, then moved to Maryland. About a week after being there, we found out that the million dollar grant that was to fund hubby's research and position had fallen through, so there wasn't a job there for him. So we moved back to WI, and hubby got a job in Madison. So now we are people of Madison (well, people who live above the lake above Madison.) I just know that hubby has a good job that he loves, we've got a wonderful landlord, and although our yard is only fenced in on 2 sides (nearly 3) I've got a fenced/meshed in balcony as big as most people's living room. Things are going well. :)

Lilly is a gorgeous corgi. She is friendly, outgoing, and loves people. This alert little girl enjoys walks and being with people.

What the heck! She's beautiful, and that tail is pretty spitzy - what a talking point. You NEED to get her!!

I have a friend named Anitra Francis who is the corgi foster coordinator for Secondhand Hounds in MN. I know she has loads of corgis looking to be adopted now. I think they require a home check, but I'm pretty sure I have seen them adopt out to WI. Even if they can't help you, they might know someone closer who can. Good luck!!

Here is their website - http://secondhandhounds.org/
