Meet Joel
4-year-old | Neutered Male | Welsh Corgi
Brown & White | 7.6 kg | 31 cm
Rescue Story
Joel was rescued in April 2025, just before his scheduled euthanasia. Thanks to timely intervention, he was given a second chance at life and is now looking for his forever home.
Personality & Socialization
With People:
Joel is a very affectionate and friendly boy. He happily approaches both familiar and unfamiliar people, enjoys being petted, and often rubs against them for attention. He’s known to give kisses to people he meets on walks and loves showing affection.
He does well with both men and women. While he hasn’t had direct experience with children under 13, once he feels comfortable, he will happily roll over and show his belly.
With Other Dogs:
Joel is social and friendly with both familiar and unfamiliar dogs, often approaching them to say hello and invite play. That said, he clearly prefers human companionship over dogs.
He may set boundaries with very high-energy dogs, rough players, or dogs that try to mount him, letting them know he’s uncomfortable. He does best with dogs of similar size and energy level.
With Cats:
He showed little to no reaction to cats encountered outdoors. Cat testing can be arranged if needed.
Energy Level
For a Welsh Corgi, Joel has a calm and balanced energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities and walks but settles down nicely afterward and is not overly excitable.
Walks & Leash Skills
Joel does tend to pull a bit on leash but generally follows his handler well. He loves to “run,” though his short legs limit his speed.
He is confident even on busy streets with traffic and enjoys greeting people he meets along the way.
Other Notes
• No food guarding toward people or other dogs
• May bark when people approach while he is in a kennel
• Calm and well-behaved when crated
• Currently uses both indoor pee pads and outdoor potty areas
Health update
Joel has mild hip dysplasia, but he’s currently walking normally and doing great. No surgery needed at this time
Joel is a loving, people-oriented companion who will thrive in a home that enjoys gentle outdoor activity and lots of affection. He’s ready to give his whole heart to his forever family.
