TEDDY Purebred Pembroke Welsh Corgi Teddy lost his home when his owner had to leave the country to care for an ailing family member. He's 5.5 years old and is looking for a corgi-experienced home. Currently Teddy is not in our foster care program because we have no room for another dog. He is in a shelter in the San Jose area in Northern California and is very stressed and depressed by that environment. We are currently looking for someone in the San Francisco Bay Area who has experience with corgis and might be able to foster Teddy for us. Teddy has been used to getting away with some things he shouldn't in his former home and needs an environment with a knowledgable corgi person who can set the rules and make sure that Teddy understands who is in charge. He will need a bit of rehabilitation before going to his forever home. That said, this is not a "difficult" dog. He is very affectionate, loves people and wants to please. Teddy will need an all-adult home with no other dogs or cats. He is used to being an only dog and is toy/food possessive. He also needs to be desensitized to having his feet handled, as this was not done when he was a puppy. Teddy's issues are typical of a corgi that has not had much training and his adoption will require that his owner have knowledge of basic obedience and plan to work with Teddy on these skills. Teddy is a sweet fellow who adores people and loves human companionship and attention. He isn't needy, but he is used to having a person with whom to bond. Being in a shelter is extremely difficult for him so we hope there is someone out there who can help us to help Teddy to a better situation for the remainder of his years. He could easily live another ten years, and is quite healthy. If you are a corgi-experienced person who may be able to help us by providing a foster home for Teddy in the San Francisco Bay Area, please write to us at for more information. Please put "Teddy" in the subject of your message.

MOLLY Molly is a spayed corgi mix. She's one of our most sought-after mixed breeds, the Corgi/Australian Shepherd combination. She's slightly taller than a corgi, but about the same size, weighing about 30 pounds. She has a thick double coat that is slightly longer on top of her back than on the sides. Her coloring comes largely from the black Aussie, which has copper points and white markings. Those copper "eyebrows" are particularly distinctive in many cases, and Molly's are no exception. In corgi terms she would be classified as a black-headed tri-color. History Temperament Molly is a sweet girl, affectionate, energetic and happy - just like a young "teenage" dog should be. She thrives on exercise and needs a daily walk/run to vent some of her energy. She is still a puppy and loves toys. She can be destructive with some and needs appropriate chew toys. Now that she's been with us for a awhile she's gained a lot of confidence and is much more grounded. The Aussie is generally a bit reserved with strangers, but warms up once it gets to know you. We see that in Molly's demeanor. The Aussie also tends to adopt people eagerly once they've had a chance to check you out from a distance. Accordingly, once you're a member of Molly's club, you in for life. She does exhibit the common Aussie trait of guarding. This is something that a young Aussie must be socialized out of and we've worked with Molly on this. A new owner needs to understand this and continue this socialization process. She also still has some fears, such as loud noises from a vaccuum or lawnmower. She also is unsure around cleancut men in baseball caps (we don't know why). But if you ignore her upon first meeting, she quickly decides you're OK and warms right up. Other dogs/cats/children This dog would be best as an only dog, or with a mild mannered male who likes to play. Housetraining Obedience Training Health Location Adoption Fee: $200
