My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there! I’m Arrow, a handsome 8-year-old red and white Welsh Corgi, about 35 pounds of fluff, legs, and opinions — you know, classic corgi energy.

A Little About Me

I grew up around lots of dogs and used to get along great with them. These days I can come off standoffish, mostly because one of the dogs in my current home hasn’t always been very nice to me. With a calmer home and fair introductions, I could remember how to dog-friend again — I promise I’ve got it in me.

I’ve never been around kids, so a home without little ones or with dog-savvy older kids would probably be best.

As for cats… well… chasing is fun. But when I get close, I usually chicken out and run away. So, I guess I’d call myself a “brave-from-afar” cat chaser.

My Quirks & Needs
• I run free inside the house and hang out in a fenced yard outside.
• I’m currently left alone 8–9 hours a day, and I handle that fine.
• I will go potty outside, but I need you to actually take me out regularly. If you forget… well… accidents happen.
• I LOVE fetch and chewing on bones — these are the keys to my heart.
• I’m scared of loud noises and sticks (yep… sticks… it’s a corgi thing).
• Please don’t touch my feet. I hate it. But I do need regular brushing and grooming, because I shed enough to knit a whole new corgi every month.
• I also shouldn’t jump onto high surfaces — my little legs and long back need protecting.

A Quick Word About Being a Corgi

Corgis are awesome, but we’re not for everyone. We bark, we shed, and we think herding is our full-time job. So my ideal human is someone who’s familiar with the breed and appreciates our… uh… “unique leadership style.”

My Perfect Home has Someone who:
• Understands corgis
• Will give me structure, love, and fetch time
• Can help me build confidence around other dogs
• Remembers to take me outside often
• Doesn’t mind a little (okay, a lot of) fur in their life

If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, slightly dramatic best friend with a big personality on tiny legs, I might just be your guy.

1.

Submit Application

From the adoptable dogs page on our website, click on dogs photo to open their profile then, click on the gray "apply to adopt" button.

2.

Interview

If your home suits the dog's needs, we'll call you to discuss your application and ask any follow-up questions.

3.

Meet the Pet

If it is determined that you and dog might be a good fit a meet and greet will be arranged.

4.

Take the Pet Home

If the meet and greet goes well then you would sign a preliminary adoption agreement and start a 2-week trial adoption.

5.

After your 2-week trial if you decide you want to finalize the adoption we will send you a link to sign the final agreement and pay the fee.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster-based, volunteer-driven rescue. All SDRO dogs available for adoption are listed on our website. The listing includes information to help you decide if one of our dogs is right for your household. If you are interested in adopting a dog, please complete an online application. If your home suits the dog's needs, we'll call you to discuss your application and ask any follow-up questions. Our experienced adoption coordinator will discuss the dog’s needs with you to help determine if your home is the right fit. Since we do not operate a shelter and all our dogs are in foster care, a meet-and-greet will be your first opportunity to meet the dog face-to-face.
