All of our dogs are spayed or neutered before placement, and placements are based on best home available, not first come - first served. For that reason, it's necessary to have an application from every person or family interested in adopting one of our dogs.

If you are not located in the Southeast, you may contact the rescue chairman of an affiliate club of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America via their website for information concerning a rescue in your area. For more information on Pembroke rescue in North and South Carolina, whether to adopt or to surrender a dog you have, please contact the .

To be considered for adoption, you MUST download the rescue adoption application, fill it out, and mail to Debbie Campbell, PPWCC Rescue Chairman, PO Box 1732, Liberty, NC 27298 in order to be placed on our rescue list. You may also copy the answers into an email and send it to the Rescue Information Coordinator, listed above.

Lily would be better refered to as "Dora the Explorer", in that she's curious about anything and everything. Just a year old, she proved to be too much for her former family. She's full of spit and vinegar, loves to chase tennis balls and flying bugs, and is simply a very smart but highly active little girl. A home without very young children would be best, as she can still be a bit mouthy, but older children or adults who would be interested in agility or herding might be a good match for this little red and white spitfire.

She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, current on heartworm preventative, crate trained and house trained.

Contact if you think you could keep up with Lily's energy!



Missy's name might be short for mischievous as she is certainly an entertaining girl! Due to her elderly owner's failing health, six year old Missy came to our rescue program. She is a happy, opinionated, food-motivated, playful, curious, and active bundle of corgi joy!

Missy does have two special needs. First, she is overweight and strides are being made in her dieting program, which will need to be continued. Second, she has an autoimmune condition called Pemphigus Foliaceus. This is the reason for the lack of pigment on her nose in her picture. Her pemphigus has responded well to treatment and has not impacted her quality of or zest for life in the least. It is a treatable, manageable condition with appropriate attention and care.

Missy loves toys, gets along well with other dogs and is always ready to go for a walk or a car ride. She is up to date on her vaccinations, spayed, crate trained, reliable in the house and always can bring a smile to one's face.

Contact if you are interested in learning more about this special girl!

Meet Lucy! She is just over a year old and sadly she and her owner were thrown a number of life curves in their time together. Family illness and her owner's own health situation did not make for optimum timing for bringing up a puppy. Being a fairly normal puppy corgi, Lucy acted out in some inappropriate behaviors such as chewing on things she shouldn't and stress barking, which only increased tensions.

Lucy is still a chewer and is now enjoying this activity with her bones and Kongs. She is good with other dogs and enjoys running with her corgi pals in pursuit of a ball.

Because of the early tensions in her life, Lucy can be a bit cautious and reserved. She'll great people, but prefers to stay with her own person (can be more of a one person gal) and doesn't appreciate someone getting too friendly. She can stress out rather quickly. Because of this, a home with small children or lots of activity would not be best for her.

She is current on vaccinations and heartworm preventative, is spayed, crate trained and reliable in house manners. If you would like to learn more about Lucy, please let us know.

Contact if you would like to learn more about Lucy and would like to be considered as a forever home!


Digger is a red and white male five years of age. His personality reflects the part of the breed's description that explains corgis can be stubborn and headstrong; but he also read the part that describes corgis as being playful, energetic and enjoying the company of people. Digger can be rather vocal, enjoys walks and playing fetch, and spends time outside when he's not playing with buddies racing the fenceline.

His high energy and reckless abandonment for things in his way when he's running would not make him a good choice for families with young children.

Contact if you would like to be considered as a forever home for Digger.

These dogs have been adopted!!

Scamper came into rescue as the result of a home with a toddler but no commitment to train either the dog or the child proper manners. Consequently, when the child annoyed Scamper, he'd attempt to defend himself...and thus was relegated to rescue.

Scamper is a red & white mismark, meaning he has white in areas outside of where the Pembroke Welsh corgi standard allows. He's five years old and gets along well with most of the other dogs in his foster home, although a laid-back, easy-going companion is recommended because he tends to be a little overwhelmed by bouncy, energetic types.

A home with a quiet atmosphere and/or older children who know how to treat a dog respectfully would be best for this little guy.


Sara
Approximately three year old Sara came to Palmetto's rescue program via several wonderful guardian angels. She had been abandoned by her owner at their former residence along with another dog. Kind neighbors kept watch over her and help kept her fed while assessing whether the owner was going to return or not. When it became apparent the owner was not intending to return ever again, some agility corgi friends took her in and helped to get her into our care.

Sara is not good with other dogs and must be an only dog. What she lacks in her canine social orb, she more than makes up for with her people skills; she loves people. Cuddler and snuggler are definitely two adjectives to describe Sara! She loves lap time and sometimes doesn't seem to be able to snuggle close enough. Sara is a bright, happy and active girl.

She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, current on heartworm preventative, crate trained and house trained.

Cooper is an approximately two year old, energetic, happy fellow that enjoys the company of people. He was found as a stray and his finders contacted one of our club members to make sure he wasn't one of her corgis. He wasn't, but he was in luck and found himself in our foster program.

Cooper plays well with some of the corgi girls here. He has learned crate training and is working on manners. His delight in being with his people helps him be an eager student. Cooper will do best with a fenced yard, and preferably with a family which has no other male dogs. He's neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and current on heartworm preventative.
