Adopting A Friend
Our adoption process includes: completion of a pre adopt application, homecheck, two week or longer trial period, followup visit if applicable (not for long distance placements), an adoption contract, adoption donation which is posted on each dog's bio and lifetime return of our adopted dogs. We look for forever homes and do not place our dogs with families with small children under the age of 8 years unless they are extremely well mannered with diligent parents who supervise the youngsters with the dogs at all times. Since both purebred and corgi mixes are our speciality, we recommend a book called "Everything Corgi" which you can order on line at http://corgiaid.org/book/index.php It helps benefit CorgiAid and their website is http://www.corgiaid.org
You can copy and paste the following pre adopt ap into an email, answer the questions and email to us at corgially@yahoo.com
