Our Rescue works closely with Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue (SPDR), to foster and locate homes for purebred Pembrokes. An Adoption Application for adopting a dog from us or a Listing Agreement for giving up a dog to us can be downloaded below and mailed to Mary Day. If you live in another part of the country and are interested in Pembroke Welsh Corgi rescue please go to our Links page to find a Corgi Club near you. Due to the expense and difficulty of transporting dogs to and potentially back from other states (if they don’t work out), we only adopt within Washington State and the Portland, OR area.
Periodically rescues come from families who are forced to give them up due to unfortunate circumstances such as death of an owner, divorce, or moving to housing that does not accept dogs. Those are usually well behaved housebroken adult dogs who have been screened by club members for behavior problems. Others are given up due to behavioral issues such as dog aggression and need to be in only-dog households, or adopted by someone with good dog behavior experience. Our Rescue Representative carefully matches prospective adoptees with dogs depending on a dog’s needs. Dogs that bite people will not be placed via Rescue.
If you obtain a purebred Pembroke Welsh corgi without registration papers and you wish to enter AKC performance events such as obedience, herding, or agility, you can “PAL”(formerly ILP) the dog with AKC as long as the dog is neutered and looks like a Pembroke. Click Here for more information on PAL.

Giving up a dog:
If you have a Pembroke that you can no longer keep, please initially contact the breeder of the corgi, especially if you have signed a contract requiring you to return the dog in the event you cannot keep it. If you no longer have the contact information for the dog’s breeder, please contact us and we will try to help. If you have a purebred Pembroke that you need to find a home for, the breeder will not take back, and have not had luck placing the dog yourself, please contact us and fill out and submit the Dog Listing Agreement below.
