WE DO COURTESY POST FOR INDEPENDENT RESCUERS TO ASSIST IN REHOMING THEIR DOGS.

UPDATE ON RESCUE INTAKE/DIRECT SHELTER ADOPTION REFERRAL AND REHOMING OWNED DOGS (if owner can keep until rehomed - ASSISTANCE) READ BELOW - WE ALSO NETWORK WITH OTHER CORGI RESCUES SO WE CAN CONNECT YOU TO OTHER RESCUES
I started posting corgis
for direct adoption at shelters and have gotten some good results. I
will now call myself the "corgi matchmaker". Since I have been doing
my thing for a quarter of a century, my rescue is known for corgis,
both pure and mix. I will match applicants to dogs at shelters. I
also will continue to do courtesy posts for a couple of other
independent rescuers. Last but not least, I will continue to work
with owned corgis for rehoming as long as their owners can continue to
keep them until a good home is found. I did this with two senior
Pembroke females last year that had special needs and found good homes
for them. On the latter, I will use my
placement format with hmcks, donation, etc.

I am not leaving rescue, I'm just lightening my load. I'm no longer a spring chicken and feel it is not wise to overload myself with the responsibility of fostering dogs
and all that involves, for them and me.

UPDATE ON RESCUE INTAKE/DIRECT SHELTER ADOPTION REFERrAL AND REHOMING OWNED DOGS (if owner can keep until rehomed - ASSISTANCE) READ BELOW - WE ALSO NETWORK WITH OTHER CORGI RESCUES SO WE CAN CONNECT YOU TO OTHER RESCUES

2015 I have assisted with owner surrender dogs and some shelter dogs that I bailed out and they came into my rescue. However, my intake of dogs is definitely greatly reduced and I post dogs that are at shelters for direct adoption at the shelters and do courtesy posts for others needing to rehome their dog.
will continue to keep my websites active as I still have 5 dogs to
place plus I am converting my rescue format. I started posting corgis
for direct adoption at shelters and have gotten some good results. I
will now call myself the "corgi matchmaker". Since I have been doing
my thing for a quarter of a century, my rescue is known for corgis,
both pure and mix. I will match applicants to dogs at shelters. I
also will continue to do courtesy posts for a couple of other
independent rescuers. Last but not least, I will continue to work

Pembroke females last year that had special needs and found good homes
for them. On the latter, I will use my

I am not leaving rescue, I'm just lightening my load. I'm no longer a
spring chicken and feel it is not wise to overload myself with the
responsibility of fostering dogs
and all that involves, for them and me.

I will still hold two corgi potluck picnics annually, the next one
after 5/25 will be in October for our annual Halloween picnic with
Halloween costume contest and talent contest.

Corgially Yours,

St. Anthony's Canine Rescue & Corgi Matchmaker's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Lomita, CA.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
