Palmetto Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club

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.

These dogs are available for adoption


	Pending Rascal Two year old Rascal found himself at the APS in Durham along with little Foxy (see below) after his owner left to pursue work overseas. Rascal does live up to his name: playful, mischievous and likes to create a little havoc now and then. He and Foxy get on well, although he does like to assert dominance over her on occasion. He would be fine with another female corgi (or other dog). As he demonstrates in the photos, playing ball is one of his favorite past times. Rascal is house trained, crate trained, neutered, current on all vaccinations as well as flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Contact if you would like to be considered as a forever home for Rascal.
	Foxy Six year old Foxy was left with Rascal (see above) at the APS in Durham. This doodlebug of a corgi loves laps and snuggling and has a big dose of corgi attitude. She gets on well with Rascal and some of the other corgis in her foster home. Foxy was in dire need of dental work when she came in and is feeling much better since that as been addressed. She is house trained, crate trained, spayed, current on all vaccinations along with heartworm and flea/tick preventative. Contact if you would like to be considered as a forever home for Foxy.
	Bandit Coming on eleven months old, Bandit originally earned his moniker for a proclivity for stealing his former owner's shoes; today he still lives up to it as a heart stealer. Bandit is a sweet boy, a little shy, under-confident and unsure with new people and strange situations. Thanks to his new-found pal, corgi-wannabe Taylor (see our Courtesy Listings below), Bandit is coming out of his shell and becoming more adventurous. He still thinks the "chase-me" game is great when he doesn't want to do something asked of him. However, he is gaining more focus playing the new game of "watch-me" with humans, and learning that fun stuff happens when he comes ... like treats. Bandit has been through a puppy-clicker training class, however his new home will need lots of patience and time, and structured training classes would be most beneficial for him. He and Taylor get on famously, playing chase, tugging over sticks, and corgi sumo wrestling. A happy confident corgi pal already in the home would be a great bonus for him. Bandit has learned about crate training, is house broken, current on all vaccinations, heartworm and flea/tick preventative. He is also neutered and microchipped. Contact if you would like to be considered as a forever home for Bandit.
	Tucker When young fellow Tucker came into our rescue program, we weren't sure if he was going have to be kept as a corgi in a plastic bubble or what. His short life history is sketchy at best; his former owner acquired him from a Craigslist advertisement. Due to her work schedule he spent many long hours in a crate and was unable to receive adequate exercise for his energetic nature. As we've seen so many times in our "lost boys", the lack of training, discipline, structure, and boundaries result in an unmannerly corgi trying to call the shots with the people in his life. In his foster home he has finally experienced the joy of just being a dog and some of the health issues that were likely based in stress and boredom have not been seen. While he still is coming to terms with not being "in charge," he is becoming a more well-adjusted dog with rules he has to follow or he doesn't get his cookie. Tucker enjoys romping with corgi pals in his foster home, joining them in pestering the resident border collie. His favorite pasttime, though, has become swimming in the pond. (We are working on getting some photos on dry land!) It will help for Tucker's new owner to be corgi experienced and they will need to continue his training and stay consistent in setting boundaries with him. Contact if you would like to be considered as a forever home for Tucker.
	Burton was formerly in our rescue program and known then as Gomez. He is still the personable, active, dashing black-headed tri boy he was two years ago. Now three, we are working on remedial manners again. With his high energy level and personality, he is overwhelming to small children so homes with adults and older children will only be considered for him. Burton is enjoying roughhousing and wrestling with one of the "staff" corgis, however, he has not gotten along with some of the other corgi staff. An only dog home would most likely be best and he will need a physical fenced-in yard. Burton is housetrained, crate trained, neutered and current on vet work and heart worm preventative. Contact if you would like to be considered as a forever home for Burton.

Waiting in the Wings...

Palmetto PWC Rescue is staying pretty busy these days and has several Pembroke Welsh corgis on our waiting list to come into foster care. Ages range from seniors to youngsters. If you are interested in adding a corgi to your home, please download an application and contact us (see email at top of page), we may just have the right corgi for you...

...waiting in the wings.

THANK YOU
from the Palmetto Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club and its rescue associates!

Corgi People Are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!

We have known it, been witness to it, been a part of it, and have experienced it. Yet Corgi people still manage to surprise, overwhelm and humble with their generosity and support. Such was the response to our request for donations to help with our boys' expenses for their heartworm treatment. Corgi friends, rescue pals, club members and forever homes of our rescues - THANK YOU for your wonderful generosity. Because of your help, Jimmy, Scooter, and Carter, all former rescues now in loving homes, will have healthy happy futures.
Summer is here, and that means we may get in more dogs requiring extensive medical assistance, including treatment for heartworm. Donations are always appreciated and can be sent to either:

Tanner
Ten year old Tanner found himself at the Young-Williams Animal Shelter when his former owners couldn't afford his medical care. Poor Tanner was sick with painful infections in both ears, kennel cough, and was strong positive for heartworms. As a testament to his personality and temperament, shelter staff and volunteers found him just too nice a dog to let him meet the fate so many dogs of his age and health condition might have met. Young-Williams treated him for his ear infections, kennel cough and heartworms. Thanks to some promises of offering foster homes, Tanner was pulled and ended up at Ft. Corgi for his recovery where he was a model "patient." He contentedly watched the corgis parade around and enjoyed batting a kibble treat ball around. He has lived up to the shelter staff's opinion of him: very sweet, laid back, and calm. Over the Fourth of July family picnics, it was discovered he has a very gentle mouth when he tried to help clean up a dropped sugar cookie. He also comes with a fluffy tail, not docked back in his baby puppy days.
Tanner could lose a few pounds and now that he has recovered from his heartworm treatment, more exercise can be in his daily activities. He loves ear scritches and gets on well with other dogs. Neutered, house-trained, microchipped and all better now, Tanner is looking for his forever family. If you think you might be the one he is waiting for, contact . Tanner is in Kingsport, TN.

Taylor
Our Rescue Chair was contacted by a local rescue about a corgi with a rescue in need of help. When she arrived she met a wonderful lady with a very big heart who had taken in Taylor, left in her care by local law enforcement who found him as a stray. Taylor had been studying dog breed books and decided he wanted to be a corgi. He thought with his long tail and shedding abilities, he might just be a Cardigan Welsh Corgi and so Taylor, the corgi wannabe, came to join our more standard rescues.
Taylor is a youngster, not quite two years old estimated. He's a bundle of energy, people oriented, loves attention, and is working on manners. He gets along well with other dogs and has been a good influence on little Bandit (see above), bringing him out in personality and confidence. Taylor is eager to please and needs someone with time and patience to teach him the skills.
He is neutered, current on all vet work, heartworm and flea preventative, house-trained, crate-trained. If you are interested in this sweet corgi-wannabe joining your family, contact

Mango
Meet freshly bathed and not yet dry nine year old Mango. Poor guy was suffering from flea allergies and dermatitis (never having been on any kind of preventative) and his owner had made the decision to have him euthanized due to the allergies. Happily for Mango, several good Samaritans (his vet, some of the vet's staff, and a summering-in-Asheville-NC volunteer for Florida's Sunshine Corgi Rescue) stepped in with alternate ideas and options.
Mango has now received medication for his allergy problem, been put on appropriate flea preventative, been neutered, and been updated on the rest of his vet care. He's described as a very sweet and loving guy and is house-trained. Palmetto Rescue is very grateful to Barbie and appreciative of her lending us a hand while in "our neck of the woods." She just proves, one might be able to take the gal away from the Rescue, but one can't take the rescuer out of the gal.
Mango is in the Asheville, NC, area, and if you would like more information about having him become a part of your home and family, please contact .

These dogs have been adopted!!

Jack
Don't let the sitting poses of eighteen month old Jack fool you, he is a very busy and active boy. Jack is an owner turn-in due to him wanting to be king of his domain and not wanting to share the attentions of his owner with the cat and elderly Dachshund that lived in the home. He did get along well with a fellow rescue, Bob, in his foster home. A good course of obedience classes, consistent structure and boundaries will help this youngster reach the potential to be the agreeable and fun family member within him.

Jack is bright, thrives on attention, one-on-one time, and will be an eager student given the chance to learn how to appropriately please his people. He is a barker, much of which is due to not having appropriate outlets to expend his energy. In his former home he enjoyed long walks and hikes, and that is another good outlet for this energetic boy. First steps for Jack's new home would be an obedience class to help with the bonding process, exercise his clever little brain and give him the right foundation basics.
