Schooner

Millie

Schooner came to us from an owner who just didn't have time for him. He was very overweight. On his diet of green beans and a quality food, Schooner is getting his figure back in great shape. He still has a couple of pounds to loose, but he's working on it. Schooner is a well mannered boy never pushy with his food or treats. He is patient, waiting his turn.

This is from his foster family. "Schooner is a very gentle guy and he's such a great guy. He loves to be petted and when you give him an inch he will take a mile. He just loves attention. Every time you get on the floor to play with him he gets the biggest smile on his face. He loves the outdoors. When we let him outside he will find a spot under the shade tree and just kick back and relax. He hasn't had any accidents in the house since we brought him home and he gets along great with other dogs. He's not as active as a younger Corgi is but he does like to play in spurts then relax under you feet. He likes his walks."

Schooner has had a dental. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, crate trained (though he is never in his crate), and house trained. If you are looking for the perfect companion for a few walks a day and TV watching, Schooner is your boy. Schooner will also do very well in obedience classes. He likes to please.

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.
