Update on Earl:
Apologies for the delayed update, y’all. There’s been an overwhelming amount going on around here and in a bid to stay sane and present to the ranch residents, social media updates had to take a back seat, so thank you for your patience and understanding.

After some long training and deescalation practice sessions, Earl’s settled into his foster home with his new family. Everyone’s quickly learning about each other, and one of the biggest lessons so far is exactly how intense Earl can be in a home setting. We knew early on what his triggers were, but to be on the receiving end of it is an entirely different experience, so mad props to his foster family for being as patient and understanding with him, as they have. Earl’s been deepening his relationship with each member of his new pack and has a brofur named Max, sisfur named Honey, Joanie the cat, mom, and dad. He gets to enjoy a fairly relaxed life hanging in the yard, or in a quiet corner in the living room. Mom and dad have already compiled a bucket list and we’re beyond excited for him to get to experience those adventures.

Medically, he had his oncology consult with Dr. Ohashi, and it was confirmed that his tumor has been growing for a VERY long time, is inoperable, and was given a prognosis of 6-8mos. Everyone’s committed to making sure he’s kept comfortable, happy, and every decision that’s made for him will be in his best interest, ensuring his mental and physical well-being. Now to the nitty gritty - the behavioral part. There have been many instances where Earl’s charged, snapped, and would have nailed foster mom had it not been for the safety of the basket muzzle. After deescalating each situation, they go on a walk together to reset and “walk it out to talk it out.” This is the time to clear the air and reset intentions while physically moving forward together. For Earl, this is such a vital step in changing his perception of his relationship with humans because what he’s been used to is having a huge reaction, then the people in his life either avoid or abandon him. What he gets now is a deeper sense of understanding, commitment, and forgiveness as everyone moves forward together.

For those that don’t know, Earl was “rescue only” at the shelter because he has cancer AND bit people (bit, not nipped). According to his previous family, his biggest issues were with hands moving overhead, being pet, herding one of the sons into a corner, snarling at him, snapping at his feet, and bullying the other two dogs. It ultimately came down to controlling space and the beings in those spaces - a very common issue that occurs in many corgi homes. Our sanctuary has been at capacity and closed to intakes for some time now, but after his foster family reached out offering to foster, we had long talks laying every possibility out on the table, emphasizing the necessity for muzzle usage and that no matter how hard it gets, they would need to work through things, and I’d be there to guide them. In past cases, if things became too challenging and a foster family said they’re done, we’re obligated to take the dog back (and always have), but because of where we’re at capacity wise, that’s not even in the realm of possibility anymore. Knowing all of this, they were still on board and committed to him. It’s not often we encounter families that are down to take on the role as a hospice home with a literal project dog, so we know Earl is in really great, loving hands. Earl LOOKS like such a sweetheart (and yes, he does have a sweet side), but he’s also a really great example of why a dog being labeled “rescue only” needs to be taken seriously, no matter how sweet they look, or how sweet the other corgs you know, are. We’re so grateful for Mindy and Patrick for opening their hearts and home to Earl, and look forward to incredible days ahead for the little guy! Nothing but good juju and loving vibes to Earl and his amazing pack! ❤️🐾

It’s that time of year again to open your hearts and give on this Giving Tuesday! This year we are aiming for overall improvements to the sanctuary with additional turf yards, more secure fencing, and new gates. If you have never had turf or fencing installed, you might be very surprised at just how costly these types of improvements can be! We will be sharing the quotes that we’ve received for these projects to back up the very large number that we would love to reach!
🐾
We endeavor to be every day for the incredible kindness, generosity, and compassion that and the rescue community have shown, allowing us to continue our hard work saving low-riders, one bark at a time. Even if you overindulged with Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, please consider donating whatever amount you are comfortable with — no amount is too small! And if you can’t donate at this time, please share to help get the word out to others. Come on, Corgi Nation! Let’s do this! READY, SET, FUNDRAISE!

Update on Bishop his lordship, Earl of QBSDR:

It’s been an interesting experience getting to know this little homie and seeing the various sides of his personality and temperament come out. We’re coming up on two weeks together and so far, it’s easy to see how he became a challenge and took over the household. He’s adorable as hell and with his antics, it’s not surprising either. Given his story and cancer diagnosis, it’s also really easy to feel sorry for him, which would typically lead to spoiling behaviors, creating a spoiled dog. Most would want to just love on him, pet him all the time, and give him all sorts of freedom, cuddles on the couch, cuddles on the bed, etc, but I can tell you with certainty that those things would give you the same outcome that led to him being returned to the shelter. In order to help him and his cancer in the most impactful way, we need to prioritize his mental well-being through leadership and making sure rules and boundaries are in place.

Healthwise, aside from the thyroid cancer, Earl’s a pretty healthy dog. His bloodwork came back normal and orthopedically, he looks great. He doesn’t have any signs of arthritis in his spine - no narrowing of disc space or bone spurs, and no hip dysplasia. One of our biggest concerns was whether his tumor was pushing into his trachea or impacting his breathing - thankfully X-rays show all is clear, and we now have a much better idea of how big the tumor is. At the moment, it’s a large palmful at the lower part of his neck. Overall, Earl doesn’t seem to be impacted by his cancer in any negative way - he’s a pretty energetic guy for a senior dog. He’s heading in for his oncology consult next Friday with Dr. Ohashi at ASG, and after we get a better understanding of his prognosis and treatment options, his bucketlist can be planned out more thoughtfully. Please keep his lordship in your thoughts, and send nothing but good vibes to the Earl of QBSDR! 👑

Update on Brie:

Little missy is feeling much better! Whatever virus or bacterial infection she had was thankfully knocked out by the round of Clavacillin. We’re so relieved her X-rays showed no internal growths! Her followup blood work showed her white blood cells and neutrophils are back to normal, and her energy and overall demeanor are much better. She seems to be back to her usual self, and is even back to helping supervise Panda. 🙌

Brie’s at the age when things like splenic masses or other forms of cancer can start developing in dogs, and with canine cancer rates being at nearly 50% (1 in 2 dogs will get cancer), and the countless times we’ve experienced it with our dogs, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. We can’t see if a growth is forming internally unless we actually look, so if you’re not already, please make X-rays part of your dog’s routine care - especially if they’re over the age of 6yrs old.

Life is rough. If you’re feeling lost in the weeds like Gatsby, just know that he made it out, and you will too. ❤️🐾

Please welcome Bishop, our newest member of the QBSDR pack. He’s a 9-10yr old Pembroke Welsh Corgi that sadly, in the last year, found himself at the West LA shelter, twice. His first family surrendered him due to thyroid cancer, and his second family, due to biting. It’s not often we can get background history on a shelter corgi, but with Bishop, we had the opportunity to speak with his second family and got details about the bites (yes, he did break skin), his behaviors, and his medical history. He’s had thyroid cancer since before they adopted him and informed us that they opted to not pursue radiation therapy, and were told the tumor was inoperable. He’s heading in to see Dr. Stone on Monday for a baseline of diagnostics. Hopefully X-rays will give us a better idea of how big this tumor actually is before he goes in for an oncology consult. Behaviorally, he’s incredibly pushy, is controlling about space, is a door dasher, and can make some not so great choices with his mouth when he’s given too much physical affection.

Our sanctuary has been at capacity for some time now, so the information we got really helped determine whether we was a candidate to be safely pulled and placed in a foster home. After a home offered to foster, and a long discussion about Bishop’s behaviors, incidents, training needs, our foster process/expectations, and the hopes we all had for Bishop, we made the decision to rescue him and give him a bucketlist. This old man is safe thanks to teamwork, open minds, open hearts, and a commitment to his well-being. Everything moving forward gets to be intentional, loving, joyful, responsible action. These next days will be spent decompressing before the real work starts. A huge thank you to ’s humans for stepping up to foster Bishop, and for their incredible, life-saving work. ♥️🐾

Our littlest lady is back in for a recheck on bloodwork!

Over the last week, Brie’s been on a round of Clavacillin, and on the mend. Her last panel showed some sort of infection going on, but we weren’t sure what. She had an elevation in white blood cells and neutrophils, indicating her body was trying to fight something off. Her urine came back with no bacteria, so it’s definitely wasn’t a UTI. A f***l sample was also sent out, which came back negative for giardia and parasites. Hopefully the antibiotics did the trick, but if her numbers are still elevated, Dr. Stone is recommending an ultrasound as the next step. Nothing but good thoughts for Miss BrieBrie! ❤️

02/10/2024

🙌 Walker’s chest X-rays came back clear! A little while back, Walker was having little coughing fits, which X-rays revealed to be aspiration pneumonia, likely from the times he threw up water after drinking too quickly. Thankfully his antibiotics and cough tablets worked like a charm and he’s back to his old self!

There’s always so much going on around here - daily care of the dogs, monitoring their behaviors, their health, and getting really present to all the ways in which we get to show up for them. As hard as it is and as much time, blood, sweat, and tears it takes to ensure these dogs are always safe and cared for - we’ll do it because they’re absolutely worth it. ❤️

We absolutely cannot do this work alone. If you’d like to contribute towards the care of our sanctuary dogs, please donate to our Medical Fund fundraiser. You can also donate
via our website, Venmo, or Paypal. The sanctuary kiddos send their BaRoOoos! (That’s thank you in corgi.)

Brie’s not so thrilled about being at the vet, but the love she has for their staff makes up for it. Our usually spunky girl has been a bit lethargic lately, and being that she’s 7yrs old (officially pre-senior 😭) and the rate of canine cancer nowadays (nearly 50%), we’re diligent in making sure there’s nothing going on internally with our dogs. Thankfully for Brie, X-rays showed no internal growths, which is always the biggest concern. We should have results to her blood panel next week. Nothing but good thoughts for this sweet girl!🤞

Dogs save lives. On 9/11, first responders along with more than 300 search and rescue, police, and therapy dogs worked night and day at ground zero to search for survivors. 23yrs later, let us remember and honor the victims, human and canine first responders, and the families who lost loved ones in this attack on our nation. We must always remember.

Update on Eljay:

I don’t know how this guy does it - it’s like nothing fazes him. Even after just getting home from a major dental procedure, all he wants to do is play. We’re so grateful to everyone that donated towards our medical fund and helped make today’s appointment possible. Eljay was able to get in with Dr. Stone this morning for a dental, along with his annual exam and X-rays to recheck and monitor his hip dysplasia. The cause of the swelling was in fact a root abscess on his top right premolar. Dr. Stone was able to get everything cleaned out and sutured up. Eljay had a total of five teeth extracted, but the most disturbing part was after pulling his premolar out, they found a foxtail wedged between the roots. 😣 We’re SO relieved that thing is out. Being out here in the country, we’re always checking for foxtails, but this just adds a whole new level of 😳 when it comes to foxtail checks. He’ll be on soft foods, pain meds, and antibiotics for the next two weeks as his mouth heals. The hardest part for Eljay is going to be keeping him muzzled so he doesn't try to pick up toys or chew on things. Anyone that’s been to the ranch and met Eljay knows this guy is all about the fetch life and he will literally bring you ANYTHING to throw for him. Please send him all the love, healing vibes, and ✨chill n recovery✨ vibes as those holes in his mouth close up. ♥️

Today we hiked the Old Zoo Loop! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏼 As much we love Ferndell Trail, it was great to try out a new trail at #GriffithPark! We parked near the Merry-Go-Around, then made our way up Lower Old Zoo Loop trail to the Zoo itself where we got to stop, take some fun pics in the old cages and spend some time in the shade enjoying each other’s company. From there, the group split. Doggos in strollers went back the way we came in and the rest of the group took the more diverse Upper Old Zoo Loop back down to the parking lot. This trail provides more variety in incline and scenery so the pups really seemed to enjoy it and all the smells. We will definitely be back! Big thanks to everyone that joined today. And to everyone we met on the trail that stopped to chat with us and learn about what we do, thank you. Hope we see y’all at another hike soon! 💜Next stop, Huntington Beach! 🐾

Apparently, Bishop used to be called Earl. He was named Bishop by his first family, so when he was surrendered to the shelter due to thyroid cancer, he was entered into the system as such. After getting adopted, his second family renamed him Earl. Already being in the shelter’s system, when he was returned, his name was automatically switched back to Bishop. And of course he responds to both names. Between the two, which do you think suits him more?

Cheers to another incredible #RaceForTheRescues! Go #TeamQBSDR! We did it! We completed the 5k 🙌 in 1hr 15mins, collectively raised $7,146/$8,000 of our team goal, represented for the behaviorally and medically challenged corgs💪 , and had a special reunion for sisters & puppy mill survivors, Panda and Poppy, of the #SanDiego5 save! It’s a beautiful and heartwarming experience to see two ladies who survived a horrendous seven years, now living their best lives, come together as survivors and DM warriors to advocate for all animals in need! We truly had a #HandicapableCrew of humans and dogs! Whatever your “limitations” might be, you’re only limited by the limits you place on yourself. Keep moving, keep fighting for what you believe in!

There’s a lot of back and forth that goes on with the dogs here - like a bunch of foster kids that butt heads, stare each other down, push, shove, sometimes throw punches, and the classic pissing matches. Cam and Bowie are two of our sanctuary dogs that have been working on their integration as a pack. They have very similar intensities in energy and sensitivity, which can impact their communications with one another in different ways. To add to the mix, Cam is blind, which makes him extra sensitive to feeling the shifts in a dog’s energy. Through it all, at the end of the day, our responsibility as the trusted and respected authority figure is to always de-escalate arguments that arise, wash it all away, help them move forward, and start a new day. Didn’t intend for that to rhyme, but let’s just roll with it. 😂 #BoysWillBeBoys #PissingMatches #Microphthalmia #BlindCorgi #JuvenileHereditaryCataracts #BiteHistory #HumanAggression #DogAggression #SanctuaryCorgi #CorgiSanctuary #PackWork #CorgiRescue #SoCalCorgiRescue #CorgiRanch #QBSDRRanch #QBSDR

Throw them stumps in the air for MJ and Rozy! On this #InternationalCorgiDay, we’re so happy to share that our bonded pair of seniors are officially in their new foster-to-adopt home! Y’all, this is a special one. We all know how hard it is for seniors to find homes, let alone two, with one at risk for #DM, and the other a Houdini at stealing anything edible. MJ and Rozy have legit hit the jackpot with their new home. They have an incredible life ahead, full of adventures with humans that are undoubtedly committed to their well-being, and making sure all of their needs are provided for. Jen and Jason are such good hearted people that truly love their dogs. Despite having experienced sudden loss, just as MJ and Rozy have, they’ve kept their hearts open. It’s a beautiful realization to know that this new journey ahead as a family of four will be one of immense joy and continued healing for all parties. Over the weekend, MJ and Rozy made the trek to their new stomping grounds in NorCal, spending a day and half teaching their new mom and dad everything they’d need to know to address their shenanigans and properly lead them through life. We went through an intensive training session that covered the 5 rules and boundaries, the basics of doggo communication and body language, how to address each individual dog’s issues inside and outside of the home, responsibilities as their leaders, and put the training into real time practice in their neighborhood with a brewery visit and celebratory pup cups. MJ and Rozy’s anxieties manifest in unhealthy ways when they lack structure and leadership, so laying a foundation for a trusting and respectful relationship with each dog individually and as a pack is crucial for their success. Everyone did SUCH a great job working together, and the frequency in which MJ and Rozy were checking in with Jen and Jason as their connections deepened was truly heartwarming to witness. There’s no doubt that Marian is smiling down w

Cheers to #BucketlistAdventures for our ladies Panda, Toph, and Millie! We’re so grateful for the amazing people we get to meet, and the opportunities to give our dogs meaningful experiences through this work. The love and support for our cause is what makes helping the corgs that need us the most, even possible, so when groups like @sacramentocorgipack host events like the Corgi Ball to benefit our dogs, our hearts swell with gratitude. It was even more meaningful to us dog moms that it all took place over Mother’s Day weekend. The ladies represented at our state’s capitol, where we advocated for special needs corgs, educated about puppy mills, irresponsible breeding, and the importance of relationship based leadership training with the 5 rules and boundaries. For our dogs, having a job and purpose gives them so much fulfillment, and many times that job is inspiring possibilities by sharing their stories of resilience and overcoming adversity. If even one person changes their mind about breeding their dog, buying a puppy, or wants training help so they can keep their dog, then their job has been done. After working hard, the girls got quality time getting their sniffs in as we strolled the city, visited parks, ate ice cream, and met extended members of our QBSDR pack for the first time. With Panda being close to 15yrs, Millie close to 16yrs, and Toph (who just turned 1yr and has chronic kidney disease), their time with us is limited, so how we choose to spend that time and the experiences we give them are even more important. Remember, there are no guarantees in life, so make the most of your days and live life to the fullest. ❤️🐾 - the FairyCorgMother Big 🫶 to @baillessima @jennabean.1996. 💪

One yard down, two more to go!! We’re so grateful for the amazing group of volunteers that showed up for #CommunityCleanUpDay at the ranch! In just four hours, they were able to clear an entire yard of weeds and foxtails, making the grounds safer for the dogs to run and play in. Duke immediately took to rolling in the fresh dirt! Clearing the yards is something we get to do every year not just for the dogs, but also to prepare for fire season. If you’d like to lend a helping hand with the last two yards, join us on our next clean up day on Saturday, May 25th from 8am-12noon by submitting a volunteer application and emailing [email protected].

Hard to believe we’ve been attending #CorgiBeachDay for over ten years now! From new faces, to old faces like #QBSDRAlumni Carlton, we’re beyond grateful for the continued support y’all show our low-riders and cause! Every dog deserves the safety and security of a home, and the love, companionship, and adventures of a furever home. Animals do not bring themselves into the world, and they definitely don’t give themselves up or bring themselves to the shelter. It’s up to us to be their voices and advocate on their behalf to educate and bring awareness to the ways in which the corgi breed is suffering. At our sanctuary, we have 28 dogs. Of the 28, 18 are sanctuary dogs that cannot be safely adopted out as family pets due to their bite history. A promise was made long ago that the ranch would always be a safe haven and healing grounds for the dogs that needed us most. It can be said with certainty that these dogs not only need us, but absolutely deserve all the help we can give them. As a no-kill sanctuary, we’re responsible for their care for the rest of their lives and there’s no way in hell we could ever do it alone. Your donations are what help keep these dogs alive, the lights and AC on, and their bellies full. Thank you to those who came by our booth to donate, purchase merch, and learn about our work. MJ and Rozy were certainly winning hearts that day, and we’re incredibly hopeful that their furever home will find them soon. Big BaRoOooOos to our #StumpySquad for always showing up like badasses and being the most amazing team a rescue gal could ask for. ❤️🐾 #SoCalCorgiBeachDay #Educate #Advocate #AdoptDontShop #Volunteer #Foster #CorgiRescue #SoCalCorgiRescue #CorgiRanch #CorgiSanctuary #QBSDRRanch #QBSDRSanctuary #SpecialNeedsCorgisNeedLoveToo #DogSanctuary #QBSDR #Corgi #CorgiLove

If there’s anything as valuable as saving a life, it’s giving a family that’s lost all hope, their hope back. The days of blurting out WTF, feeling lost navigating corgparenthood, problem solving why my dogs were fighting, feeling divided by everything on the internet - literally drained in every capacity from splitting up dog fights while anxiously anticipating the next one, are memories I frequently reflect on. I empathize so deeply with the many families currently going through what Mike and I went through, especially when they’re hard set that rehoming isn’t even an option. Believe me when I say, I know things are hard, AND they CAN get better. Things can improve, but only after changes are made and built into new life habits you practice together. Believe me also when I say “if there’s a will, there’s a way.” Truly set your intention on what you want and let that be your guiding star. There are always solutions to rebuilding the relationship between you and your furry family members and bringing peace back to the household, but it’s up to you to 1) work with someone who will help you understand your dog, 2) understand the role you play in your results, and 3) make the adjustments needed to grow together. Dogs don’t ask to come into our lives - WE bring them into our lives. For me personally, they are like furry autistic kids with really big feelings and reactions that sometimes involve using their mouths. A human kid sometimes bites too. When it comes to human kids, we’d seek the help of behavioral therapists, so we get to do the same for our dogs. Again, we chose them, so we GET to choose commitment, dedication, and an open mind if all else has failed. A few weeks ago, these families came in defeated, and left with a renewed sense of hope. They took the hard steps of asking for help, showing up, staying committed to their dogs, and getting honest and vulnerable about the changes they’d need to make at home, to make sh*t work. Be

Meet MJ (8yrs) and Rozy (10yrs), a Cardigan and Pembroke Welsh Corgi bonded pair, looking for their furever home. These sweet seniors are two of the biggest love bugs you’ll ever meet! MJ will almost always bring a smile to your face with his goofy demeanor and un-proportionally large stature, while Rozy gives you the warm fuzzies as she fills your heart with love and adoration. MJ and Rozy have experienced some big transitions in life after unexpectedly losing their mom, Marian, in November 2023. With nowhere else to go, they moved in at the ranch in January, and have been part of the rescue pack their mom so staunchly supported. When Marian was still with us, she visited our booth every year and made clear how much she supported our cause, and that she had one request - that if anything ever happened to her, MJ and Rozy would be kept together. This was a promise that was made and one we intend to keep. MJ and Rozy are incredibly connected to one another and have been together their entire lives. Since being in our care, they’re frequently found laying near each other, or running and playing together. They’ve been working hard at their rules and boundaries and would do amazingly in a family home that can commit to their needs and provide them with the structure and leadership they need to thrive. Both are in great health, however Rozy is at risk for DM (degenerative myelopathy). This does not mean she will get it, but it is a possibility, so any interested parties that do not know what DM is should familiarize themselves with the disease, as this is very common in corgis. As scary as the thought of DM is, this doesn’t take away from how incredible these two are, and how deserving of a home they are. Are you the home these two have been looking for or know someone that might be? Let’s help these two find their home!
