Rescue Corgis   What is a Rescue Corgi? A Rescue Corgi is simply a Pembroke Welsh Corgi in need of a new home. Sometimes it is a dog that has been rescued from a shelter. It may be a dog that has been put up for adoption due to the death or illness of the owner. Or it may be that the owner has had financial problems or has had to move and could not take the dog along. Most of the Pembrokes that come into a rescue situation are adult dogs over 2 years of age, but we have had dogs from as young as a few months old to senior citizens. It is not wise to expect a puppy from rescue as these situations are rare. Anyone who is interested in adopting a Corgi must complete the application (click on link below to download) and send it to the Applicatons Coordinator, Pam Davies (see address below). Be sure to put "Corgi Rescue" in the title line. After submitting your application it is important for potential applicants to watch this website and look at the dogs available for rescue. The location of each dog will be included in the write up. If you see one that interests you, please contact the appropriate State Rescue Coordinator and express your interest. If you seem like a good possible match for the dog we will have a Mayflower Club member visit you in your home to discuss your interest in adopting a corgi. The adoption may take place following this meeting if you are felt to be the best match for the dog. However, be aware that not all of our rescue dogs are posted on the website. If we have a good match from our pool of existing applicants then we will proceed without posting the dog. With this in mind, the best and only way to assure that you will be considered for each dog we have is to submit an application by downloading the form at the bottom of this page and sending it to Pam Davies whose address is on the form. Those wishing to give up a dog for adoption may call the approprite State Rescue Coordinator (the one for your state of residence listed below) and arrangements will be discussed about the possibility of transferring the dog to us. We only deal with purebred Pembroke Welsh Corgis. In addition, we are sorry but a dog with a history of biting people can not accepted. We request all registration papers, health records, and any other paperwork relating to the dog be provided to the rescue committe at the time of transfer to us. We also request that all dogs coming into our program be neutered or spayed and be up to date on all shots. While we are ready to help all Pembroke Welsh Corgis in our area, we also wish to encourage anyone who is considering giving up your dog due to behavior problems to consider an alternative before contacting us. Canine behavior specialists and obedience trainers can help. Here at Mayflower Corgi Rescue, we have used Robert Casey, a canine behavior specialist who has done wonderful work for us in our rescue program. He can be contacted by email at doggybuddyrob@aol.com or by telephone at 845-206-1036. He has had great success in changing unwanted behaviors with all types of dogs including corgis. Please consider contacting Rob or an other behavior specialist or trainer before deciding that you must give up your dog! Our rescue efforts cover all the New England States and a large part of New York State. Every effort is made to find the right home for an individual dog so we do not go in order of receipt of the applications when choosing a possible new home. When a dog is placed we ask that a donation to the Club be made. This is to cover expenses and to aid in future rescue efforts.
