Meet Levi, as we now call him. He was picked up as a stray by the local animal shelter, we were notified and they were willing to let him come into our rescue. Levi is a "CoJack" (corgi/JRT mix). His personality is loving like a corgi but energetic like a terrier! Levi is 1 1/2 years old, gets along very well with other dogs and likes to play chase with a "dog smart" cat. He will retrieve a ball and is learning to bring it back. He rides well, crated, in a car but must be "put" in. That will be a work in progress as he prefers to be out running around! He has had no accidents in the house so appears to be housebroke. This little guy is FULL to the brim with love and needs a forever home that can appreciate his corgi AND terrier qualities. He is biddable, truly wants to please and would make a GREAT agility dog for someone that works in multiple venues where mix breeds are allowed (soon to be AKC). If that's you, let us know! Levi is ready to leave here and find a "heart person" of his own.
February 2009 Sadie has found a loving home.
Today comes Sadie. Sadie is a fluffy that has been shaven down in the past. The issues she came into rescue for were not really "issues" but rather the direct result of placement with no consideration to being appropriate for the new owner. Sadie is a typical female corgi with dominence traits. Coming into a "corgi-wise" home, she has relinquished control and is a sweet, loving, and biddable fluffy girl. She has been to obedience, does "sit" and "down". Sadie's cat and "other dog" issues were also related to her improper placement. She plays with our dog-saavy cat and plays rough with Levi, the CoJack rescue here. As with MOST corgis, she also a "corgi savvy" forever home.
August 2007 Abbey - Abbey has been returned to her breeder.
Abbey was turned into IWCR after her owner died suddenly from an aneurysm. Although from records, it appears Abbey has had numerous homes, she is very well adjusted and confident.
Due to Katie's age and the number of years she has been here, we have decided she will live out her days with us.
Katie joined our household as a rescue on June 13, 2004. We spent 4+ years with this delightful, loving corgi girl. We saw her thru winters we didn't think she'd make due to her severe hips and arthritis but her tenacity never ceased to amaze us. She loved her weekly trips to Wal-Mart for popcorn chicken, being loved and played with by our Grandson, Camden, who comes down every summer and just being a much loved house dog. Unfortunately, we lost Katie on October 17, 2008 to a severe enteritis her old body just could not fight - NOT her physical incapacities we expected. Her bright smile is sorely missed but knowing her last 4 years on this earth were filled with love, caring and companionship was >worth the hole in our hearts.
Corky wandered into a yard in Richland, Washington. The "finder" put an ad in the local newspaper and was able to find Corky's owners. A week later he turned up again. Taking him back to his home, it was found they had moved away and left him. He is about 18 months old, a natural bobtail and a true sweetie with a loving corgi temeperament. Thanks to Mary Feldman from Utah, Corky has a new forever home where he will keep Mary company as well as their Golden/Chow mix.
May 2004 Shiloh has been adopted. Thank you, Dawn and Greg Jones (and Jonsey, their corgi X) for giving Shiloh a loving, forever home!
| May 2004 - Little Man Litttle Man has been adopted by Bill Gillette of Washington and is now "Barney". The two spend their time living on Bill's boat and cruising the coast line! This "Little" Man was found huddled on someone's porch on a cold October night. He was wearing a collar with a ring on it where a (probably) rabies tag used to hang. He was brought to us as a corgi mix, however, we don't feel this sweetheart has any corgi in him. Numerous efforts were made to find his family who, I'm SURE, are missing him with no results. He appears to be about 3 years old, is sweet, affectionate, well mannered, neutered, housebroke. |

November 2002 - Shorty & LilyLilly and Shorty are now comfortably in their new home with Bryan, Char, Heather (13 yr. old Corgi), Will & Ben. The boys are delighted to each have their own dog now! Shorty (a 4 year old, sable & white, intact male) and Lilly (2 year old red & white, intact female) were turned into our Rescue due to a divorce. They are happy, well adjusted dogs, good with kids, other dogs and housebroken. Both were altered prior to placement |
|
| Shorty and Lilly, hours after their "surgeries". Lilly had some bleeding complications and didn't feel too good until morning. Shorty never left her side except to get an occasional pat or scratch from me. You can see, he even brought her a gift bone, hoping to make her feel better. It was very touching watching him be a caregiver! |

Duke & Copper were owner surrendered to the Las Vegas SPCA due to a child developing allergies to them. They are 3 1/2 years old, both red/white neutered males, unrelated but with the same birthdate. They have been raised together and with children. Housebroken. Both are good natured but over-weight at this time. We will take some time to reduce their weight and evaluate them. It would be wonderful to keep them together, but they appear to be well-adjusted enough to separate to the right families. | |
| This is Duke. Duke has been adopted! |
| Some recent pictures of Duke with his "Forever Dad", Steve. Look at that suave Dukester!!! |

| This is Copper Copper has been adopted! |

Patsy was an owner-turn in. She was having an environmental "people possession" problem which had caused a few fights with the other dogs in the home. When the owners could no longer deal with her problem, they called "Rescue". Patsy is now living in a wonderful home as an only dog and is the constant companion of Mildred. |
Winston was turned into Hearts United for Animals in Omaho, Nebraska along with his kennel mate, Foxworth, by a vet who had received them to be put to sleep. Apparantly, their owners were divorcing and couldn't decide who should get who so they decided neither would get one. Foxworth was adopted almost immediately but Winston remained. Castell Rescue was contacted by a local woman looking for a rescue for an elderly friend. They were put in touch with HUA and the adoption was arranged but transportation was a problem due to airline restrictions. As I was driving to PA to the 2000 PWCCA National, I opted to pick Winston up on my way out East. Winston was pretty baffled by the loss of his kennelmate then the change of environment to strangers again. At the National he would run up to every corgi he saw looking for Foxworth. As the days went by he became more and more adjusted and, slowly, a normal corgi personality began to emerge. By the time we got Winston home, he was every bit the wonderful dog he had shown promise of, albiet overweight. Jill and Velta came down the very night we got home and it was love at first sight! Winston is keeping Velta young by insisting on walkies and plenty of play time |
