It’s been quite busy here lately! We have another new guy to introduce, Dilly! Dilly is a 10 year old intact male corgi mix who came to us as an owner surrender. Based on his size, markings, and coloring, we believe he may be mixed with Australian Shepherd. His owners had to unexpectedly move, and they could not find housing that would allow them to have any pets. They wanted to make sure that he ended up in a safe place, so they made the difficult decision to surrender him over to us.

Dilly lived with other dogs previously, but they said he was aggressive sometimes towards one of the dogs in the home and he showed a lot of dominance towards the dogs. So we got him into a quiet no dog foster home and he has been doing great there. It seems like he enjoys being the only dog in the home. He has settled in really well and overall he’s a very chill guy. He likes to sit outside and watch the world go by. He’s very well behaved in the home and he likes to hang out with his people. He loves people and he loves to get attention.

Dilly loves to go for walks and he gets so excited when he thinks he’s about to go on one. He’s well behaved on the leash, he’s just a bit of a puller. He is not leash reactive though, and he has not had any issues with any dogs he’s seen out on walks. He also loves toys and he likes to carry his newest toy with him when he goes out on walks. He also likes to play fetch with this toys too.

Dilly recently went to the vet to have a physical exam, get updated on his vaccines, have lab work done, and to get one prevention. His vet appointment went very well and they were able to get everything done. He will be going back in a couple weeks to get neutered. He will remain in his foster home while he heals and recovers. Here’s a message from his foster:

“Dilly’s personality is calm and happy, and he enjoys being near someone. He loves being petted and loves his toys. He even takes his pickle we got him outside on walks! He isn’t a guarded eater by any means, and takes his time eating. He mostly relaxes at home, doesn’t get onto furniture (unless you invite him) and loves to hang out under my desk while I work. Once he sees us putting on shoes and jackets he anticipates he is coming out and gets very very excited to go on walks. He does pull and we are trying to work on that each time we walk him. He gets a long walk each day and then a couple of short ones or hangs in the yard. He doesn’t bark at other dogs while on walks or when hanging in the yard. He does get excited to see some dogs, especially bigger ones. Our neighbor has a small toy Australian Shepherd and he likes him, but doesn’t try to play with him. He also sleeps by our bed and sleeps through the night and doesn’t try to get up until we are out of bed. I am usually an early riser and sometimes he will just continue to stay and sleep in our room until he is ready for breakfast. He’s very attentive and affectionate and loves to have his belly rubbed. He will even nudge you to pet him if you stop.”

Say hello to another new guy in the rescue, Chico! Chico is an almost 4 year old intact male who came to us as an owner surrender. His owner passed away, and there weren’t any family members who could take him in. A family member reached out to us to see if we could help. They wanted to make sure that he went somewhere that would take good care of him and provide him with a great life.

We got Chico into a no dog foster home and he’s been doing great there. We were told that he was not dog friendly, and it seems like he does best as an only dog. He is leash reactive toward other dogs. His foster has been working with him on this, but he still really struggles. It seems like it’s all fear based, and that he hasn’t really been well socialized to the outside world. When he first arrived in his foster home, he was very nervous on walks especially with all the new noises and with seeing people walking by. He is great inside of the home though. Chico is great with people, and he loves to be loved on. His favorite thing is to get belly rubs. He also loves to play and he absolutely loves toys.

Unfortunately, Chico came to us pretty infested with fleas. His foster noticed them pretty quickly and we were able to try to get ahead of it. We immediately got him some topical prevention and he had a few baths, which he was very good about. After a few days of heavy treatment, baths, and daily vacuuming of the house, the fleas were slowly disappearing. He is now flea free and he started on prescription oral prevention which will help keep them at bay.

Chico recently went to the vet to get updated on his vaccines, have bloodwork done, get a physical exam, and get prescription prevention. He did great at his vet appointment. His bloodwork came back great, and he was negative for heartworm disease and tick borne diseases. The vet looked at his teeth and he has some tartar on his back teeth, but nothing of too much concern right now. The vet did note he needs to lose a few pounds to get to an ideal weight. Overall he looks great and he was given a clean bill of health. He will be going back to the vet soon for his neuter. He will remain in his foster home while he heals and recovers. Here’s a message from his foster:

“Chico has been a delight to have as a foster corgi. Within the first two days, he was unapologetically asking for belly rubs. He's very comfortable with people. He's shameless about asking for scratches from someone he’s just met. He's very sweet and just wants to sit on the couch or bed to get pets. Though, he’s a good listener too because we don't let him up, so he'll come over and plant his head on the edge of the couch until you acknowledge him. He's good at letting you know when he needs something - like when he needs to go out or for you to get a toy for him. He’s somewhat food motivated, but not as much as a typical corgi. He’s more interested in his toys. As soon as he hears a toy squeak he comes running. He's very playful and always up to play with you.”

We have a Daisy update! Daisy recently went back to the vet for her last booster vaccine. She did great at her appointment and she was well behaved. She has been doing great in her foster home. She is responding really well to having rules and boundaries set up in the home. She still tries to push the boundaries at times, but overall she has made a lot of improvement. She’s basically living in her teenager era, and she can be a little stubborn at times. But being consistent and maintaining the rules and boundaries has really helped.

Daisy is a very sweet and loving girl. She enjoys spending time with her people. Her and the resident corgi are getting along great and they have even started playing together (check out the video in the comments)! She is learning how to properly play with other dogs, while also respecting their boundaries and playing within the other dog’s limitations. She has tons of corgi energy and she loves to run around outside. She also likes to play with toys, but she is quite the toy destroyer so she needs to be supervised with them. She also really enjoys going for walks. Her leash manners have also improved and she has gotten much better with traffic and noises. She is not a fan of cats though and she shows a little bit of prey drive.

Daisy needs a family who are corgi experienced and will continue with her training. She would greatly benefit from group obedience classes to continuing working on her manners and socialization. She is dog friendly and would do best with a very friendly dog that would match her energy level and play with her. She needs a home without any cats. She can be rough when she plays, and she’s still working on some manners, so she would do best in a home without any small children. Due to her energy level, she would do best in a home with a fenced in yard so she can run and play. With the right home and guidance, she can continue to work towards being a model citizen. Here’s a message from her foster:

“Daisy has yet to meet a stranger and is very generous with her affection. However, she has a tendency to jump up when meeting new people and upon greeting us as we return home. She is also a little rough when playing, so she likely wouldn’t do well in a home with small children. She is a fast eater but has benefited from a slow feeder and having her treats broken into bite-sized pieces. Daisy still has a lot of puppy energy and would love a fenced yard where she can run and play. She would likely enjoy sharing a home with another dog. At first, Daisy could be a little pushy and lack manners when interacting with the resident corgi. With time and training, Daisy has shown remarkable improvement in this area.”

Meet a new guy in the rescue, Winston! Winston is a 5.5 year old neutered male who came to us as an owner surrender. He was living with very small children and he was having a very hard time coexisting with them. The toddler would pull and push on him, which caused him to snap at the child. The family also had another baby on the way, which they worried would cause him even more stress. They loved him very much, but they wanted their children to be safe and for him to have a much better life. So they made the difficult decision to surrender him over to us.

We got Winston into a quiet foster home with no other pets or children. He has been doing great in his foster home. It took him a couple days to settle in, but once he did, he was very comfortable and relaxed. He did come to us very overweight and unfit, so he was not able to walk very far when he first arrived. His foster has slowly been working on building up his stamina and he’s been doing great. He loves going for walks and going on outings. When he first arrived in his foster home, he was very leash reactive towards other dogs. His foster has been working with him on this and he has made so much progress! He responds very well to training and his reactiveness has reduced significantly. He recently even went on a small hike with two other dogs and did really well. He will walk by them and with them without any reaction, but he definitely does not want to do anything more than that.

Winston is very sweet and loves to be with his person. He doesn’t have any separation anxiety, but he enjoys his time with his people when they’re home. He loves to cuddle and will happily pin his foster down on the couch and be pet. He also enjoys to play with toys. Once he settled in and got comfortable with his foster, his foster has been handling him more and he’s had no issues. He’s gotten a bath and his foster has even started to brush his teeth. Winston started to do some paw licking, most likely due to some seasonal allergies. His foster wipes his paws down after walks and that seems to help a lot.

Winston recently went to the vet to get up to date on all his vetting needs. He’s very overweight at 47 lbs. He was mostly behaved for his vet appointment. He got updated on his vaccines, but they did need to muzzle him to get blood from him. He was negative for heartworm disease and negative for tick borne diseases. They said his teeth could use a good dental cleaning in about a year or so, but that it wasn’t necessary at this time.

Winston needs a quiet home with no other pets or children. He needs a family who will be dedicated to his weight loss journey, give him daily exercise, and maintain a healthy diet. He needs someone who will continue to work with him on his leash reactivity and help continue to guide him to being a well mannered corgi. He could benefit from group obedience classes to work on his socialization. Overall, he is very well behaved at home, he’s housebroken, and he can be trusted to be left out alone. He just needs the right environment and the right people who will understand him. Here’s a message from his foster:

“Winston is a curious, sweet boy, with an expressive face and expert-level corgi side eye. He prefers the company of people and his rotating collection of stuffed toys to other dogs. While he is ok walking with another dog, he does not enjoy them one on one, and does not like sharing the sidewalk with dogs or runners. That said, he is easily motivated by treats, and is growing more confident and happy each week. He is not a big barker, but he will let you know with a growl, yip, or whine when he is ready to get out of the house or wants some attention. Winston has been doing great with his fall workout plan that includes plenty of short walks and a weight management diet. Winston loves the outdoors and will sprint for a bird or squirrel, and can run for a minute or two. He is learning to chase toys and hide and seek, as he gets in better shape and doesn’t have so much weight to move. He is game for a hike in the park, camping, or car trip when he has enough space to move around. Winston’s big personality will be a joy to unfold for his new family, and he is ready to sniff new sniffs, learn new games, begin a new chapter in his life.”

We have a Polo update! Polo went back to the vet on a stronger course of anxiety medication, and unfortunately they still were not able to get any blood from him. So they decided to wait and get it the morning of his neuter, which was a couple days later. His neuter surgery well and they found he had an umbilical hernia that they were able to repair at the same time. He’s been recovering at his foster home and he’s been doing really well. He was kept medicated during the first week of his recovery to help keep him calm and keep his energy level down. He has also been responding well to the over the counter allergy medication and it has really helped him paws.

Polo has been doing great in his foster home. He gets along well with the resident dog, although she does not really appreciate his playfulness and energy level. He loves to run and play, he has tons of corgi energy. He also enjoys puzzle toys. His foster has been working on some socialization with him, and how he acts meeting new dogs. When he came to us, he would come on very strongly when meeting new dogs because he was just so excited. Normally this was too much for other dogs and they would want nothing to do with him. He has been doing really well, and he’s slowly learning how to meet and greet new dogs. He is fully potty trained, crate trained, and he is no longer marking.

Polo needs a corgi experienced home who will keep him active and continue to work on his training. Due to his energy level, he would do best in a home where his people are not gone all day long. He would love to have a fenced in yard to run and play in. He’d greatly benefit from group obedience classes to work on his socialization and manners. He is dog friendly, but he can come on a little strong when meeting new dogs. He just gets so excited. He would do best with a very friendly younger dog who could match his energy level and play with him. He has not been cat tested. He loves all people, and he could live with older kids who are experienced with dogs. With the right family and training, Polo can continue to succeed. Here’s a message from his foster:

“Polo continues to be an absolute joy! He's a bundle of happy corgi energy, so he was very excited when he was finally able to play again after his surgery. His favorite things are to run and play ball in the yard. He's a total sweetheart and I would love to see him go to a family that can play/walk with him and help him burn through the high energy that he has. He's super friendly and outgoing, but could use some help still with his social skills. He likes to jump up and bark when he gets excited, so he will need some training to learn proper manners when greeting friends. Other than that, he has been great! I love seeing him run around the house, playing with his squeaky toys. He's so funny and charming! We're definitely going to miss his smiling face around here when he finds his forever home!”

Welcome to the Corgi Corner! We are starting a new series that will be posted on the first Saturday of every month! These posts will help spread education and awareness on topics like general dog care, corgi specific things, medical care, health facts, etc. Our first Corgi Corner post will be all about the Pembroke Welsh Corgi!

Pembroke Welsh Corgis date all the way back to the 10th century from the southern region of Wales. By the 1850’s, they were on almost every farm in Wales as they watched over and herded small cattle. They are members of the spitz family - a Nordic group of dogs distinguished by a sharp-pointed muzzle, foxy face, erect and pointed ears, and a high set carried tail. Eventually, as Welsh farms began to transition to raising sheep, Pembroke Welsh Corgis were faded out from farms and replaced by Border Collies. But, they continued to gain popularity in England. In the 1934, Pembrokes were officially recognized as a breed in England. Pembrokes first entered the royal family in 1934 with Queen Catherine Bowes-Lyon, who acquired one as a pet for her daughters Margaret and Elizabeth (the future Queen). They remained in the royal family for 88 years through Queen Elizabeth’s ruling until she passed in 2022, and she owned more than 30 Corgis during her lifetime.

In 1934, the first Pembroke Welsh Corgis arrived in the US and they were also officially recognized as a breed by the American Kennel Club. The current day Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a little different than the Pembrokes from the early 1900s. The original Pembrokes were tall, leggy, and not at all uniform in appearance. Today’s Pembrokes are more consistent in appearance, have long and low bodies, heads with foxy expressions, and better bone structure. They also have a better temperament now than they once did, making them more attractive as pets. Over the years, especially with the addition of social media, the breed has really grown in popularity.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are true dwarves. They come in red, sable, fawn, and black and tan coats, all with or without white markings. They do not naturally carry the merle or brindle genes like their relative the Cardigan Welsh Corgi does. Pembroke Welsh Corgis have a medium coat and they’re a double coated breed. This means they shed a lot. They can also come with a longer coat, called fluffy or fluffies. Fluffies are against breed standard. It’s a specific gene and it’s the result of a recessive genetic coat mutation. A fluffy coat appears when both parents carry one copy of the recessive gene and pass it on. But, it is very difficult to know whether or not a dog carries one copy of the fluffy gene. So while a fluffy puppy may accidentally appear within a litter, responsible breeders do not intentionally breed for the fluffy coat.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis also have 3 major genetic diseases that can be completely avoided with genetic testing and responsible breeding practices: degenerative myelopathy (DM), von Willebrand’s disease (vWD1), and exercise-induced collapse (EIC) (more in-depth information on these in the future). They are also prone to joint issues like hip dysplasia and intervertebral disc disease (IVDD).

Overall, Pembroke Welsh Corgis are a highly intelligent, athletic, energetic breed. This means they need to remain physically and mentally active, they require training, and they need their owners to be their leaders. They are not couch potato dogs, and they’re probably much smarter than you are. Their double coat means they shed a lot, especially during seasonal changes, so they require regular brushing. They are very food driven and they’re eager to please, making them trainable. But they’re also prone to weight gain and being overweight, which is the worst thing for their body structure. Due to their short legs and very long backs, it’s imperative they maintain a healthy weight so extra stress is not put on their backs and joints.

🍂Happy fall everyone!🍂 The leaves are changing, the temperatures are dropping, and the days are getting shorter. The change in season means it’s time that we updated our online store! It also means that it’s time for us to bring back our Corgi Things design for the holiday season! This year we are so happy to be able to offer both the “Merry Corgmas” and “Happy Howlidays” versions! We’ve also added some new winter gear with our logo on it as well.

This year has been a very busy year for us and we have had a lot of high vet bills. All of our dogs are seen by a vet to make sure they’re healthy, get updated on vaccines, bloodwork, f***l testing, and put on prevention. We also do dental cleanings for those who need it and make sure everyone is spayed or neutered. This year we’ve taken in a lot of dogs who were intact, so we’ve needed to spend a lot of money on spay and neuter surgeries. We rely solely on donations to pay for all the medical bills for the dogs in our care, including our Senior Sanctuary Members. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do if it weren’t for all of you!

We have new shirts available in all sizes, along with mugs, notebooks, hats, and tote bags! The shirts are done in 1 week batches, so they will print and ship after a week. Everything else in the store is made and shipped to order, so you won’t have to wait for batches to finish in order to receive these items. All proceeds go directly to the dogs in our care. Our store will be open and available to shop from all year round.

Grab a new shirt or corgi item, and support the corgis! 🐾❤️

We have another new Daisy in the rescue! Daisy is a 1 year old spayed female who came to us as an owner surrender. The owner got her earlier this year from a friend, but then learned that her daughter has severe allergies to her. The friend that they got her from was not able to take her back. They had no choice but to find a new place for her, so they made the decision to surrender her over to us.

We got Daisy into an experienced foster home and she’s been doing well there. This girl has tons of corgi energy and she loves to run and play. She will play with the resident corgi, and she does seem like she enjoys having a friend to play with. She came to us with a history of food guarding towards other dogs. Her foster feeds the dogs separately and there have not been any issues with guarding. She’s very sweet and she loves people. She loves attention and to be pet. While she gets along with the resident corgi, but she can be a little dominant, pushy, and a little bit of a bully. It does not seem like she has had any training and she doesn’t have a lot of manners. It seems like she’s gotten away with being a bit of a bully towards other dogs for some time. Her foster has been working with her on this by setting rules and boundaries in the home. Daisy has been responding well to this, but she will try and test boundaries when given the opportunity. Her foster is continuing to work with her to help her become a model corgi citizen.

Daisy recently went to the vet to get updated on her vaccines and other vetting needs. She was a very good patient at the vet. Her bloodwork came back negative for tick borne diseases and heartworm disease. Her f***l also came back negative for parasites. She was also microchipped. She got updated on her vaccines, but she needs to go back to the vet in a couple weeks for a booster. She will remain in her foster home until she has received all the vet care she needs. Here’s a message from her foster:

“Daisy is full of life and has a lot of love to give. She freely gives kisses and greets us with so much enthusiasm—demanding pets from not just one, but both hands! She has a lot of puppy energy to burn off and loves to play fetch and tug, yet is disciplined enough to play alone with a toy if you need a break. (Be sure to keep an eye on her, as she does like to shred/destroy toys.) Following in the steps of the elder corgi of the home, Daisy is quickly mastering the art of barking at everything and nothing. Daisy gets along well with the resident dog, but can be a little pushy and intrude upon personal space. She is sensitive to thunderstorms, unfamiliar sounds, and some movement. Daisy walks well on a leash, but the sound of a car passing by may cause her to take pause. Although she prefers to be with her people at all times, Daisy sleeps quietly in her crate at night, only whining a tiny bit if she senses you’re awake. She is an absolute sweetheart with a beautifully expressive tail.”

We are so happy to announce that Robin has found her forever home! She’s a spayed female chihuahua mix. She was owned by a long time friend of our founder. Unfortunately, Robin’s owner unexpectedly passed away. Her owner had no next of kin or anyone that could care for her. We knew she wasn’t a corgi or a corgi mix, but we decided to take her into the rescue to avoid her having to go to the local shelter and so she could find the best home possible.

We quickly got Robin into a foster home and she did very well there. It took her some time to adjust to her new surroundings and a new routine, but once she adjusted she did great. It was immediately clear that she was very overweight and that her teeth were in horrible shape. We felt her weight was mostly due to an unhealthy diet, including table scraps. Her foster immediately started her on a much healthier diet and she started getting daily exercise as well. Robin was in a foster home with another dog and they got along great. She was also great with all people and kids as well. She was very sweet and she loved to be pet and get attention. Once she settled in, she became more playful and her personality was really starting to show.

Robin went to the vet while she was with us to get updated on her vetting needs and to get her teeth checked out. As expected, she needed extensive dental work. She needed several extractions, but they didn’t know the full extent of her teeth until they could get X-rays and had a deeper look in her mouth. She was also very overweight at 31 lbs. The vet felt she needed to lose at least 7 lbs to get to a healthy weight. Her bloodwork was negative for heartworm disease and tick borne diseases. Her f***l was also negative for any parasites. Unfortunately, her urinalysis did test positive for a UTI, so she was put on a course of antibiotics for that.

Robin went back to the vet a couple weeks later for her dental work. She had to have a total of 9 teeth extracted. Many of them were barely hanging on by the root. The vet noted that she was already missing 8 teeth prior to her procedure. We don’t know if they were previously extracted during a dental procedure, or if they had just fallen out on their own. Even though she’s missing a total of 17 teeth now, she still has plenty of teeth left and she still has her back molars to chew with, so she shouldn’t have any issues with eating. The vet was initially concerned with her healing time because there wasn’t a lot of gum tissue to work with to close up the gums after the teeth were pulled, which can sometimes make healing slower. Thankfully that really wasn’t the case and she healed really well.

Robin was a very good patient and she recovered well. Once all the bad teeth were out, Robin seemed so much more comfortable. Her foster said she was more playful and seemed better overall. She started to really coming out of her shell and she seemed much happier too. She has lost about half of a pound since she came to us. It wasn’t as much as we would’ve liked, but she was at least heading in the right direction. She still needs to lose about 6.5 lbs to get to her ideal healthy weight.

Robin needed a home with a family who would provide her with a lot of love. She’s dog friendly and she would love to have another dog to live with. She’s also great with kids and would do well with kids who are dog experienced and know how to properly treat and interact with dogs. She needed a family who would be dedicated to getting her to a healthy weight, maintaining a healthy diet, and providing her with daily exercise. She loved spending time with her people and she’s such a sweet girl. She’s been through a lot and it was time for her happily ever after.

We found a wonderful family for Robin. They recently lost two of their dogs back to back, and their home suddenly felt so much emptier. Robin really reminded them of one of their dogs who passed, and they instantly fell in love with her. Robin fit right in from the beginning. She gets along great with resident dog and she has been enjoying plenty of play time and exercise. Her family is home often, which she is really enjoying. We are so happy to see Robin happy again and feeling so comfortable in her new home. Here’s a message from her new family:

“Robin has been a joy to have in our home! From day one I knew that she was home here with us. She made herself comfortable in the front window chair and has now deemed it her property. During the workday she sits there and is the self-appointed neighborhood watch dog. She and our resident corgi, Shelby, have gotten along beautifully and they love to hang out in the backyard together chasing squirrels and enjoying the sun. They both also share in their love of fetching a ball and going for a good walk, so outdoor time is usually the highlight of every day! We lost two of our dogs recently, one to cancer and one to old age, and Robin having lost her owner it felt like it was meant to be! We look forward to many years to come with this sweet girl and can’t wait to see how she continues to blossom.”

Congratulations to Robin and her new family! 🐾💜

ECCR Graduates 2023

Today, we get to say goodbye to 2023! This was our 6th year since we began operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a fully operating rescue. 2023 has been the most challenging year our team has dealt with mentally so far. We were slammed this year with surrenders. We’re still feeling the affects of the pandemic with “pandemic dogs”, where people got dogs during the pandemic and now could no longer care for them or they did not understand the breed, so they surrendered them over to us. Many of them being deemed “emergencies” where we had to move quickly to find a foster home and move the dog out of the home. Being “pandemic dogs” also resulted in dogs with no training, no proper socialization, and very poor breeding, leading to behavioral and medical issues. We’ve also struggled dealing with surrenders in general, as we would work hard to very quickly arrange transports and line up foster homes, to then have the owner just back out of surrendering cause they found a new home themselves or they just went radio silent all together. This wasted so much time and resources for our team and wasted our volunteers’ time as well. It’s been a trying time for our team, as we’ve all felt extreme burn out this year. To help the rescue stay afloat and keep the team together, we made the decision to pause surrenders during the summer to allow us to care for the dogs already in our care, catch up on our waitlist of dogs, and give our team a much needed mental break. This year we’ve deemed it the year of fixing people’s poor and selfish decisions, where we weren’t even truly rescuing dogs. We were just fixing peoples’ problems that they made by rushing out to get a dog from a non-reputable breeder during the pandemic. In 2023, we have rescued 32 dogs (including dogs still in foster care and direct placement) and 30 dogs found their forever homes!! Unfortunately, it’s been a tough year and we had a lot of dogs cross over the rainbow bridge this ye

Merry Corgmas 2023

Each year our adoptive families participate in a Secret Santa gift exchange for our ECCR graduates. 🎁 This year was our 5th year doing this and we had 18 dogs participate this year! We love keeping in touch with our adoptive families and getting updates on our graduates! It’s so wonderful to see them being loved, cared for, and living their best lives with their forever families! We’re so appreciative of our amazing adoptive families!
