Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Oso was rescued from the San Pedro Harbor Animal Shelter, San Pedro, CA on 7/17/25. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner of six years over a landlord dispute. Oso and owner were reluctantly crushed. Too bad they didn't try to board him and then get another apt. He is in foster care with my rescue and has been with me for two weeks as of 7/17.25. Initially, he appeared reserved and apprehensive. He has separation anxiety and shouldn't be left alone all day, but after two weeks he's coping well with my short absences. He is house-trained, is not kept in a crate, and interacts with stuffed toys and tennis balls. He is okay with small dogs, both sexes but not large dogs. Not been around cats. He needs a home without children or visiting grandchildren. He fetches and chases tennis balls. He sleeps on a dog bed or pad and has never used a crate. After two weeks in his foster home, he is getting to be quite affectionate and loves to be petted. He behaves well during grooming appointments, and his teeth are in good condition. He is current on all his shots and neutered. The owner filled out a very extensive and thorough owner interview/surrender info sheet. He is very afraid of fireworks. He spent time with a poodle and a chihuahua. He barks at people until he gets used to them but is not aggressive but needs time to decompress which is what he has done for the last 2 weeks in his foster home. Better photos coming. Placement is available in Los Angeles and Orange County, with a preference for the South Bay region of Los Angeles. Dog is fostered in Lomita, CA

More about this rescue
Dogs can be shown by private appointment if a pre adoption application is completed and the dog and home seem like a good match. Private in home dog training is available. I've been doing in home dog training exclusively since 2000 in the southbay. Brochure and references available
We can also show dogs by private appointment if a pre adoption application is completed and it appears to be a good match.
St. Anthony's Canine Rescue has been in existence for 24(1/20/88) and has specialized in small to medium dog rescue/adoptive placement. Welsh Corgi purebreds (Pembrokes and Cardigans) plus Corgi mixes have been our first priority. We feature other rescue colleagues with other types of dogs as well for adoption We network with other independent rescuers and organizations to facilitate home checks, dog transport and dog placement. Our adoption process is: home check, two week trial period, contract and adoption donation $400. Our dogs are spayed/neutered, current on shots, microchipped and placed for compatibility in adoptive homes for a life time commitment and as housepets only. We have lifetime return of any adopted dog for any reason. We are limited to the volume of dogs we can handle at any given time due to foster home limitations. We do not operate a kennel. We are willing to work with owned dogs if the owners/rescuers who can continue to house the dogs until a suitable adoptive home is found. We do not operate a kennel and our foster homes are most often full.
We offer in home dog training, pet sitting and dog walking in the south bay area of LA County. A brochure is available via email upon request. We have been serving the south bay since 2000.

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
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
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.
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.
