Trista

Trista

Trista is, like her littermates, a Corgi mix. We had mom Bridget so we know her mom was a Corgi. We believe that dad may have been a Chihuahua. Whatever the mix, Trista is the star of the litter. She is adorable, always wanting to be picked up and loved. She will lay in her foster dad's arms and just look around as though saying, "I'm up here and I'm watching you." Like her littermates she loves her yard. Today she found a pine cone. She threw it in the air and watched it fall to the ground. Then ran over to throw it again. She found a June bug and crunched it good before we could get it out of her mouth. She is very curious about all things. Trista is a clown too. If she can steal something, like an ink pen or a piece of paper, she will take the opportunity and run. She is typical fun loving puppy.

Trista is seven months old and weights 15 pounds. She has had her DHPP vaccine series, Rabies, and been wormed. She will soon be spayed and microchipped. Trista would like a home with fenced yard - no electronic fences please - no small children, and a loving family with lots of patience, what all puppies need. Puppies, like children, need love, patience and training.

Corgis

You will notice that many of our rescue Corgis are not available to homes with small children. Corgis are a herding breed. Each herding breed has their own distinct method of herding. Corgis nip at the heels of cattle, sheep, etc and bark when they herd. The instinct can be strong even though the majority of our dogs have not been trained to herd. They can nip at the heels of small children, and when excited may even jump up and nip. They are not vicious, very much the opposite; however, a child crawling on the floor or children running around the yard can trigger the herding instinct. What Corgi owners see as normal behavior for the breed, others may construe as biting. Not all Corgis have this instinct, but many do and we are careful when placing them. No matter what breed you choose, investigate the history of the breed. Corgis are "cute little dogs." They are also intelligent, active, affectionate, and real clowns. They are a breed for an experienced dog owner or a family open to learning how to live with a Corgi. Please email with any questions claireelizabeth@petssecondchance.org.

PLEASE before you consider adoption from any organization; remember that a dog or cat is a life time commitment. Corgis need lots of exercise, training, grooming, and most of all, love. Pets take patience and time. Pets can also be expensive. Routine medical care and a good diet can cost up to $500 per year. Adopting is not a decision to be made lightly.

Get involved with sports like agility, fly ball, herding, or rally obedience. It is great training and exercise for both you and your dog.
