TEDDY
Purebred Pembroke Welsh Corgi Male
Location: Wichita, Kansas
Age: 1-1/2 - 2 years

Teddy is a purebred, male Pembroke Welsh Corgi. He is neutered and estimated to be 18-24 months of age. He weighs about 25lbs and has a beautiful red and white coat.

This boy is easy to describe: He's just a great little dog! He is everything that a classic 2-year-old Pembroke male should be. Happy, playful, affectionate and fun-loving, he's proven to be good with all variety of people and other dogs. He ignores the cats in his foster home, so could work with a dog-savvy cat.

Teddy came into a shelter as a stray. He was picked up on the playground of an elementary school where he was playing with the kids. He's a typical "teenager." He is very energetic and would be best in a home where he'd have another dog to play with, as well as an owner who was able to teach him the basic obedience commands. He is smart and learns quickly in his foster home. For him to develop into a nice adult companion, continued obedience training is important.

This dog is good with older children (age 8+) who are experienced, and know how to behave responsibly and respectfully with a dog. He is an active dog, and he is a "teenager" in dog years. This means he can be rather rambunctious when playing. For this reason he would need to be carefully supervised with children.

Teddy is a dog of medium level dominance. He is confident, but not overly pushy. He isn't shy, but won't take on a bully either. He would be best with another corgi that was either clearly more dominant, such as a female, or possibly one that is a more submissive temperament. Another dog of medium dominance could be a problem, as the two would continually be vying for the alpha position.

This nice fellow is house trained in his current foster home, but would need a refresher course in a new environment. This is typical when a dog moves and can easily be accomplished by following the methods outlined in our Housetraining 101 article.

Teddy is quite healthy and has no known history of any health issues. He is up to date on all vaccinations and rabies and on preventive for fleas and heartworm.

In short, Teddy is a real find! He's a great dog that could fit easily into a variety of home situations. We would like to find a home experienced with this breed in which the owner will commit to continuing his obedience training as a priority.

RAIN
Purebred Pembroke Welsh Corgi female
Location: Kansas
Age: About 8

Rain is a spayed, purebred Welsh Corgi female, appoximately 8 years of age. She is a beautiful red-headed tri-color with a gorgeous coat. She's a happy, active loving companion - exactly what a corgi should be! This is a lovely companion.

Rain is a very special girl. As a stray dog she was found wandering in a downpour and was given the name Raindrop by the shelter staff. When she first came to foster care she was very sickly. She had heartworms, demodex mange, internal parasites, pyometra, and a mouth full of broken and rotten teeth.

Rain spent 10 months in foster care while all of her physical issues were all being dealt with. She is a trooper and today she is 100% recovered and is truly a different dog!

Rain is one of our favorites. She is a very active and playful girl, and a typical female corgi with a mind of her own! Her foster mom says that she "just wants to be the center of attention."

She's good with other dogs and plays with a number of them in her foster home. She likes to have a walk each day, then she'll take a nap and be ready for dinner. Her foster mom says, "She just wants love and food and play."

She also gets along well with all people. We seldom recommend any corgi for a home with very young children (see Corgis and Children for more information on this), but Rain would be fine with children, age 12 or older, who've been taught how to behave responsibly with a dog.

Rain gets very excited when it is walk time and enjoys playing with toys. She has had minimal obedience training, but is learning the basics. We would recommend that any new owner continue obedience training for her.

Her foster mom says:

"I still can't get over how much better she looks than when she came. Her coat is thick and soft and she always has a twinkle in her eye. She gets into trouble like a puppy... chewing up her blanket, getting into things, etc. She loves her toys but guts them. She would probably be fine for someone with minimal corgi experience as she doesn't have any corgi specific issues."

Rain is housetrained in her current environment, though she will mark if she feels the need to establish her territory with other dogs. Any dog requires a refresher course in a new environment. This can easily be accomplished by following the advice in our Housetraining 101 article.

Rain is up to date on all vaccinations and rabies. She now receives preventative medication for heartworm and flea control. She does have a history of heartworm, but came through treatment well and is considered 100% cured. She first tested positive for heartworms on 4/9/07 she was treated with imiticide on 4/13/07, 5/15/07 and 5/16/07.

She also has a history of demodectic mange when she first arrived. Over time she completely cured herself of the mange, as her immune system got stronger due to the good care she had, and the treatment for her other health-related issues. She's had complete dental care required to rid her of all of her broken and infected teeth. Once this happens the immune system generally is much stronger. We recommend bathing Rain every couple of months to keep her coat and skin in good condition.

Summary: This is a very nice little dog! Someone will be lucky to find her! We love this one!

Rain is being fostered in Wichita, KS. We would like to find a home for her within a day's drive of this area. We would prefer not to ship Rain to a new home.
