Pupper Update #19 - Checking in on Morgan & Pups

The puppies are now 14 weeks old. Dodge and Viola went home together and are they ever a happy pair! Normally we wouldn't place littermates together, but in this case Dodge derives a lot of confidence by having a confident, but benevolent female companion like Viola, so it works out well for them. They got an awesome home and their new parents are thrilled with them. 

Logan continues to thrive in his new home too. He was the first to leave the group. Since he lives nearby, he gets to visit his foster mom often! And Abilene (Abi) went home the day before Dodge and Viola. She found her perfect match - we were so happy for her!

Viola and Dodge's parents have taken a lot of photos of their new babies and have generously shared them.

Viola isn't exactly thrilled with her wellness visit, 

but the vet sure thinks she's cute!

Dodge was equally nonplussed - nice ears!

OK, so we were good for the vet visit. Can we go now?

Viola is much happier now that she's home with dad! 

This is the sweetest puppy!

And there's always housekeeping to be done!

Meanwhile Lucas and Kismet are still looking for that just-right home. Lucas was SO close, but things didn't work out at the 11th hour. And Kismet absolutely must have someone with experience raising a spunky, strong-willed corgi!

Kismet is maturing into an absolutely gorgeous girl.

She is one of the two girls that got to keep her full tail!

As expected, Lucas is a very handsome little guy. Definitely the flashy one in the litter. Now that he's getting older he is also getting bolder.

No longer the quiet slightly shy fellow, he's now in full-tilt puppy mode examining his world with gusto!

As mom watches, Kissie and Lucas are working on their own version of pumpkin carving.

Fingers crossed that Kismet, Lucas and Momma Morgan all find the right homes for the holidays!

Pupper Update #18 - Ears Up!

At ten weeks of age most of our ForPaws puppies now have real "corgi" ears! They look a lot more like little corgis now...cute!

Logan - has been adopted

 Kismet - still looking for that just-right home with that person who loves a spunky Princess!

 Lucas - We expect to finalize his adoption very soon.

Viola - has been adopted! She's definitely a "pick" puppy from a temperament standpoint. Her new people are getting a wonderful girl!

Abi - Well, one ear is up and she's working on the other - which will be taped if it doesn't happen soon. This lovely lady has found a wonderful new home!

Dodge - We think we have the perfect home for him!
And he is working on those ears!

Adoption information can be found on the ForPaws Corgi Rescue website

Pupper Update #17 - Ready for Adoption!

Pembroke Puppies - READY TO GO HOME! As of now, we have four of the original six available. Logan and, hopefully Dodge,  already have great new homes!  We are also looking for just the right home for their mother, Morgan.

Their story: When a small private breeder fell victim to the recession, lost his job and could no longer keep his seven nice Pembrokes, they were surrendered to rescue. We took a pregnant female, Morgan, whose puppies were born while she was in foster care.  Morgan, and the sire both both have lovely temperaments. Their offspring appear to be chips off the ol' block in that department! 

Here are the puppies (and their mom) looking for just the right place!  Ideally, we are looking for corgi-experienced homes in which children are minimally age 16, no more than two existing dogs, and no cats. To be considered, please apply through ForPaws Corgi Rescue.


(Litter birthdate: July 25, 2010)

Kismet - a.k.a. Spunkiest one in the litter!

This little girl needs an experienced owner who can keep up - and definitely a job to do! She's the smallest puppy with the biggest personality! Smart, happy and ready to to rock, Kissie would be

a great candidate for a performance home. She would love to be an obedience, rally or agility dog!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Lucas - the sweetest little boy ever!

A Classic Pembroke Teddy Bear, Lucas is confident, happy, active and affectionate - the textbook male Pem!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Viola - the "softer" female.

Sweet, sweet sweet! This is the "easiest" female, but she is definitely still a Pembroke Princess. She's got enough spunk to boss a lab around and would love to have a buddy and plenty of activities to occupy her active mind! A really nice, well-grounded girl, Viola will make a great companion!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abilene (Abi) - the other alpha female (HAS BEEN ADOPTED!)

Not quite as much spunk as Kismet, this confident, sweet girl would also be happy with a nice male companion who was content to be her "pack." Also a dog for a corgi-experienced owner, this smart, busy girl and needs to be stimulated mentally and physically. Another good candidate for a performance home!

-------------------------------------------------

Morgan - adult female (mom to puppies)

Morgan has a temperament similar to Abi's. She is not as much of an alpha female as Kismet, but she does like to call the shots in the pack. Morgan gets along well with other dogs, but should not be paired with another dominant dog, nor with cats.

She is smart, confident and affectionate - a really nice companion for someone who understands that classic female Pembroke temperament.

Pupper Update #16 - Good Housekeeping

Oh yea...they're eight weeks old, and ready to rock the world - 

puppy style!

In this case, that means a little help around the house!

We'll just tidy up these newspapers for our foster mom.

She didn't really want them in that bin did she Dodge? 

Nope, don't think so.  Good work getting the last of 'em Lucas.

Yumm...these are actually quite tasty Logan! 

And I like that crunchy noise they make when I chew on 'em.

And if you don't want to work on the newspapers, can we interest you in a nice box?

She called it "dog earred" Abi. It doesn't look anything like our ears!

If you need help around your house, one of these puppies might be just the thing! We're now officially looking for just the right corgi-experienced home for each one of these nice puppies!  If you have experience in raising, training and properly socializing a young corgi, and are interested in adopting, submit your application to ForPaws Corgi Rescue. (Experienced corgi owners only, please.)
