Thank Dog it’s the weekend! Tawny was recently listed for adoption, but we’ve since spent a little time with her and evaluated her more closely. Tawny is an 8.5-year-old Pembroke Corgi. Her previous family was in a situation where they could no longer keep her and had to give her up. She is crate trained and does not mind sleeping there through the night. She is completely housetrained and has started using a doggy door. She loves to go on walks and gets very excited. She is selective of the dogs she gets along with and is non-reactive to cats. She tolerates the smaller dogs in her foster home but does not like the other female Corgi and will not be placed with another female dog her size or larger. A home without other dogs or possibly a passive male dog would be best. She does get jealous of other dogs around her person. The ideal home for Tawny would be a home where her people are home most of the time so she can be with them. An easy-going family with a structured routine would be best for her. She will need a firm yet gentle person to guide her in her new home. She came to Rescue with anxiety due to her previous situation but has relaxed and is doing very well now that she has a calm atmosphere. She is hesitant with strangers and needs time to warm up; she does not appreciate strangers trying to touch her without her getting comfortable with them first. Her new family should know that a few visits before becoming a permanent part of their family would help in her transition to the new home, so a family in the metro Denver area would be preferred so that visits can be facilitated easily. Due to her anxiety, we will not place her in a home with children. She is a barker and is being trained to hush on cue. It is going to take time and patience and her new family should be willing to work with her using positive reinforcement. She loves to talk with snorts, grunts and corgi yodeling… and of course barking. Another form of “talking” she enjoys is growling. She wags her tail the entire time, but this can be confusing and intimidating to many people. This is how she expresses herself and is not an indication of aggression, so a family with dog experience and an understanding of canine body language is preferred. Having her own fenced in yard so she can burn off some of her energy is a requirement. She will not do well in an apartment or at dog parks due to her anxious and bossy nature and will need space to run off leash.
Don’t let her age fool you, this girl is full of spunk! She enjoys walks VERY much and she hopes that her new family enjoys daily walks as well. She loves the snow, enjoys playing with toys and her person once she trusts them. She also enjoys car rides. She is intelligent and always watches her person for cues. She also has a very sweet side that she can’t wait to show her new family. If you think you could provide her with her list of requirements, please see Colorado Corgis and Friends adoption process and complete a meet and greet/adoption application for her, go to https://www.corgisandfriends.com/forms (https://www.corgisandfriends.com/forms) as the first step. Her adoption fee is $375 and we do not adopt out of Colorado.
