My story

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

Dave is a lovely 3-yr old Corgi. He loves his walks and can be very active. He requires physical and mental stimulation but also can entertain himself and nap in his bed. Dave is very sweet, affectionate and loves to hang out with his human and will ask for pets and belly rubs.

He is housetrained and can be left alone uncrated, with no barking or destructive behaviour. Dave loves to greet all dogs and humans. He is very curious and wants to be friends with everyone. He doesn’t always “read the room” when other dogs are reactive and tell him "go away" he might continue his friendship request

He only barks when he hears people outside so he would probably do best in a house.  Dave can be skittish and sensitive to loud noises and moves very fast when he is scared. He can also get “mouthy” when excited. He gets underfoot and will sometimes nip at your feet and can be a tripping hazard. As a herding breed this is done out of playfulness and instinct, not aggression.  He is a smart little dog and will benefit from some basic training. He will come when called but cannot be left in an unfenced area off leash as he is easily spooked and will be a flight risk. Dave would benefit from living with more than one person and/or with another dog who would be a play companion.  While he has met children and seems to love them, he does jump up to meet them, therefore he would do best in a home with older children.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our process begins with an online pre adoption questionnaire followed by a telephone interview
Once both have been completed we consider suitability and if we feel the adoption candidate is a potential match we arrange a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in
From there we schedule a home visit and check personal and veterinary references.

Go meet their pets

All our dogs are in foster homes so meet and greets are by appointment only

Foster Homes
Sadly, each new day brings a flood of emails and telephone pleas to help yet another abandoned dear dog. We try and help these displaced dogs through our rescue efforts and networking. We are always in search of new foster homes where a dog can be cared for and loved until a permanent home is found. Speaking of Dogs Rescue covers food, medical attention and all the supplies required for the dogs in foster care. Foster parents need be responsible and patient people who will provide a safe environment for our dogs. A foster contract must be signed. This is a serious responsibility; however the experience is very rewarding. If you can open your heart and home to a foster dog please contact us. We have a comprehensive Foster Manual available for people who are considering becoming a foster parent.
