Pembroke Welsh Corgi Rescue
Giving Corgis a Second Chance
Not every Corgi is fortunate enough to spend his or her entire life in one home. Life circumstances can change unexpectedly. A death in the family, a change in living situation, or other challenges may make it necessary for a Corgi to find a new home. Some Corgis come to rescue after being lost or abandoned, while others are removed from unsafe or abusive situations.
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi Rescue League (PWCRL), Inc. is dedicated to helping these Corgis find loving, responsible, permanent homes. PWCRL works with local animal shelters, humane societies, and individuals to provide Corgis in need with a second chance.
Each Corgi entering the rescue program receives a veterinary examination and an evaluation to help PWCRL understand its health, temperament, and individual needs. Corgis are then placed in caring foster homes where they can receive the attention and support they need while we search for the right permanent home.
Finding the right match is very important. Prospective adopters are interviewed and screened so that we can learn about their home, lifestyle, and expectations. This helps us make the best possible match between each Corgi and his or her new family. All rescue Corgis are spayed or neutered before placement.
Some members of the Rescue League are also members of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of Greater Atlanta (PWCCGA). Members of the PWCCGA generously assist and support the PWCRL whenever possible.
