Story
Bella is an approx 2 y/o 10# Chiweenie who was found as a stray in a small rural TX town. No one came in to claim her and she was very frightened at the shelter. She's now in a foster home in CO and is coming out of her shell. She loves to be near her person/people, sit on your lap, and sleep under the covers in the big bed. Bella now loves to play with other dogs but can get snarky if she doesn’t get to be the boss. Bella has a difficult time sharing so we are looking to place her in a home where she is the only dog or with a laid back dog who doesn’t care about her bossiness. Bella needs a secure 6 ft fenced yard as she will be a flight risk for awhile and humans who can take her out frequently. She is potty trained and crate trained. She enjoys walks and is good on the leash but will bark at people, other dogs and unfamiliar things. She had made a lot of progress with her fear barking on walks and will need her new owner to continue with her reward based training. She'd do best with someone (she prefers women over men) home during the day and no small children. She hasn't been overly barky indoors. She was curious about cats but we're not sure how should be be living with them. If interested in meeting Bella, complete our meet and greet application at https://www.corgisandfriends.com/forms as the first step. We require the application, home and reference check, and meet with everyone in the home including pets. Bella is spayed, utd on vaccs, chipped, and HW-. Her adoption fee is $375 and we are not doing any out of state adoptions.April 22, 2024, 11:22 am

Story
Poppy (fka Noelle) is a fun sweet energetic almost 8 mos old BC mix. Maybe with Lab, Heeler or Sighthound. She is about 34#, loves other dogs, was curious about but friendly with the foster cat, and loves to go on walkies and hiking. Poppy can be a little shy at first but it doesn't last long. Poppy is looking for an active home with another younger friendly dog to play with, a fenced in backyard to run around, and humans who are not gone long hours. She is learning some basic cues. She has not been tested with children but a respectful older child 10+ should be fine as she does jump some. She is a sweet puppy who likes to cuddle but also is ready to play at a moment’s notice. She does have a nice off switch when needed. She is crate trained, potty trained, and sleeps through the night if she potties right before bedtime. She may need a refresher in a new home with a new routine. If you are interested in meeting Poppy, the first step is to complete our meet and greet application at https://www.corgisandfriends.com/forms We require the application, home and reference check, and meet with everyone in the home. Poppy is spayed, utd on vaccs, and chipped. Her adoption fee is $400 and we are not doing any out of state adoptions.  April 22, 2024, 11:22 am

Story
My name is Josie. I am a 75#, spayed, 2 yr old female Pyrenees. I’m so excited to find my perfect forever family! I came into the shelter in TX when my owners moved into an apartment and couldn’t take me with them. I was lucky to make it out and land a foster family here in CO! My foster parents call me “cuddle bug” &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143  My favorite activities include going for walks to sniff all the things, roaming the back yard, and snuggling with my family! My foster mom is helping me to learn I can snuggle but still respect personal space of everyone. I just get so excited! I enjoy hanging out with my other foster siblings.  I like both the cats (although one doesn’t like me so I avoid her). The other dogs are super tiny next to me (chihuahuas) but I’m gentle and like lying with them and eating treats! And I like my Pyr foster brother. I am still true to my Pyrenees traits of being stubborn, independent, and I take careful watch over all my home! I am housebroken and UTD on vaccines. I require a 6’ wooden enclosed fence. I’m still getting used to walking on wood floors vs carpet but I’m getting much better! I have not been tested with kids but an older respectful child should be ok. If you are interested in meeting me, the first step is to complete the meet and greet application at https://www.corgisandfriends.com/forms We require the application, home and reference check, and meet with everyone in the home. My adoption fee is $375 and we do not adopt out of Colorado.April 22, 2024, 11:22 am

Story
Thank Dog it’s the weekend! Tawny was recently listed for adoption, but we’ve since spent a little time with her and evaluated her more closely. Tawny is an 8.5-year-old Pembroke Corgi. Her previous family was in a situation where they could no longer keep her and had to give her up. She is crate trained and does not mind sleeping there through the night. She is completely housetrained and has started using a doggy door. She loves to go on walks and gets very excited. She is selective of the dogs she gets along with and is non-reactive to cats. She tolerates the smaller dogs in her foster home but does not like the other female Corgi and will not be placed with another female dog her size or larger. A home without other dogs or possibly a passive male dog would be best. She does get jealous of other dogs around her person.  The ideal home for Tawny would be a home where her people are home most of the time so she can be with them. An easy-going family with a structured routine would be best for her. She will need a firm yet gentle person to guide her in her new home. She came to Rescue with anxiety due to her previous situation but has relaxed and is doing very well now that she has a calm atmosphere. She is hesitant with strangers and needs time to warm up; she does not appreciate strangers trying to touch her without her getting comfortable with them first. Her new family should know that a few visits before becoming a permanent part of their family would help in her transition to the new home, so a family in the metro Denver area would be preferred so that visits can be facilitated easily. Due to her anxiety, we will not place her in a home with children. She is a barker and is being trained to hush on cue. It is going to take time and patience and her new family should be willing to work with her using positive reinforcement.  She loves to talk with snorts, grunts and corgi yodeling… and of course barking. Another form of “talking” she enjoys is growling. She wags her tail the entire time, but this can be confusing and intimidating to many people. This is how she expresses herself and is not an indication of aggression, so a family with dog experience and an understanding of canine body language is preferred.  Having her own fenced in yard so she can burn off some of her energy is a requirement. She will not do well in an apartment or at dog parks due to her anxious and bossy nature and will need space to run off leash.     Don’t let her age fool you, this girl is full of spunk! She enjoys walks VERY much and she hopes that her new family enjoys daily walks as well.  She loves the snow, enjoys playing with toys and her person once she trusts them. She also enjoys car rides. She is intelligent and always watches her person for cues. She also has a very sweet side that she can’t wait to show her new family. If you think you could provide her with her list of requirements, please see Colorado Corgis and Friends adoption process and complete a meet and greet/adoption application for her, go to https://www.corgisandfriends.com/forms (https://www.corgisandfriends.com/forms) as the first step. Her adoption fee is $375 and we do not adopt out of Colorado. Stats: - Up to date on vaccinations - Spayed - Microchipped - No known major health or dental issues - Heartworm  negative - Approx. 8.5 years old and 21#  April 22, 2024, 11:22 am
