The LA County Baldwin Park Animal Shelter was the recipient of 20+ tricolor Corgi type dogs (some identified as Jack Russell or Sheltie but 70% very corgi in appearance) and others may have beagle as well in their mix. All related. Their breeder relinquished them to the shelter over the past week in 4 separate groups after they were found to operating an illegal kennel. All the dogs are set to be altered no later then 11/5 (this Thurs) at the shelter clinic and are available for adoption now and after 11/5 they can go directly home with adopters/rescuers/benefactors.
The website where you can see the dogs is http://www.sacred.petfinder.com or you can go to the Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control website and select Baldwin Park under dogs for adoption. They were turned in on 10/25, 10/27, 10/29 and 11/2.

Topaz is a "retired" breeding female from a mill -- now spayed and a great family member. Frankie was found roaming the streets in a town 100 miles south of me, and we're working to "calm" down his "survival instincts," as he loves to go roam and explore on his own thinking he can survive. Dooley is a foster from a kill shelter in Kansas awaiting adoption through ForPaws.org. They are all three great dogs, each with their own personalities, behavior quirks, and temperaments -- but that keeps me on my toes with them and never get bored!

In May, our cats had a follow up with our neighborhood Vet. As I was returning through the lobby with a carrier in each hand, a tiny red/brown blur sprinted between my legs, skidded to a stop and looked up at me with these huge soulful brown eyes. I was a goner. One 'Puppies for Dummies' book, two visitation sessions and three days later, we brought home our 'Bucket'. I knew nothing of Corgis before him. We are in love with his sweet and larger than life Corgi personality! We are so thankful to our local Vet for fostering him and his brothers which gave us the opportunity for Bucket to be ours.

Hi everybody,
A while back I got some great advice and encouragement from everyone about how to acclimate our new rescue corgi with our first rescue corgi. Everything seemed to have worked out. And... we're moving to the country where we'll all have plenty of room to run around. In fact, we may be able to help another homeless corgi. We're crossing our fingers that we can get our hands on him.

Love your trio! Also WELCOME!
I know what you mean about not being able to foster. We can't do it either but I still work with rescue. As a matter of fact, I've got two in my "care" right now; an 8 yr old red male that was turned in to a shelter. He's being boarded until I can get him to rescue and this weekend a 3 yr old male is coming under my care, given up by owner who said he just doesn't have the time to do what is right for the dog. He will be fostered until I can get him adopted or placed in rescue.
Keep up the work all you rescuers - we're needed!

Hi fellow rescuers! I have three corgi rescues. Molly is a cojack, Niles and Martin are pembrokes all are 5 years old and from the greater Houston area. I helped foster rescues for the GHPWCF for a couple of years. the three we have are ones we just couldn't part with. It was very rewarding to find forever homes for the corgis we fostered. Glad to be a member of this group.

Hi! This is Baxter! Baxter was rescued from the SPCA in 2002. He was turned in as a "stray at large" He was very thin and his coat very brittle and matted. It took a few months for Baxter to trust his new environment, be now he is SO HAPPY :)!! He doesn't know a stranger!! He is about 8 years old now. He LOVES everybody!! I can't imagine life without him now. Would love to meet any corgi owners in Dallas, TX!!

I just got Penelope from our local shelter. She's almost a year old they weren't sure because she was a stray. She's a huge sweetheart. She loves to tease my younger, male Pembroke Puck. :)

Also I'm sorry to hear about Ein. Sounds like he had a good life with you!

I'm sorry to hear about Ein. It's devastating when they leave us. You probably know this one, but it never fails to bring me comfort.


Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
