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.
