No. The person with whom the corgi will live must fill out the application. Taking on a dog is a big responsiblity. You can't make that decision for someone else.
It really depends. If you are very specific about what you are looking for, your wait may be longer than that of someone who is open to adopting an older dog or a dog with some special needs.
Rarely, but it does happen. You can bet they won't be put up on Petfinder, however, as the waiting list for puppies is long.
All corgis placed are spayed/neutered before placement if it hasn’t already been done. We update vaccinations and deal with any other health issues that a dog may have before placement. If a dog has a long term, but treatable illness, like diabetes, that will be noted in their description. Obviously, Lakeshore cannot make any long term guarantees about the health or longevity of any rescue corgi we place.
Although a fenced yard is preferable, we consider adopters on a case by case basis. Some indivdual dogs might require a fenced yard, but others are fine with regualr walking.
We screen carefully for temperament. All dogs are held for a period of 2 weeks for evaluation before any potential adopters are contacted. We do not take dog with known aggression issues toward people.
YES! Please take the time to look at this site. This is a typical corgi.
