Princess is down to 45 lbs, and loving life. She has been given a clean bill of health, and is a happy active member of her family!

Princess went to a foster-to-adopt home in December 2008. Her foster mom reports:
Princess goes on a walk about 3 times a week, she is able to go up and down our entry stairs in the front, back and garage without
assistance. In the back, there are three steps that lead up to the porch and she has no problems with them anymore. On her walks,
she stops only to smell things, not because she is tired. She no longer whines when she rides in the
car. She continues to bring us her toy when she welcomes us home in the evenings. If she cannot find a toy to present, she will find
a dirty sock from the laundry. She is fitting into the pack well, and is submissive to Teddy (our 2 year old Corgi) but tries to play with
Ernie (the 8 year old Corgi). She is good with bathing, and she rolls over on her side everytime I get out the wipes to clean her belly.
Nov 1, 2008, Princess arrives at TSCR
*************************************
Princess was turned over to rescue when her owner could no longer care for her. Weighing in at an eye-popping 75 pounds, she has
surprisingly few medical issues -- other than her weight of course. She is currently enjoying the TSCR spa experience which includes
a diet high in veggies and weekly trips to a medically supervised weight loss program (the vet's underwater treadmill) where she can
work off those pounds safely. She is sweet and wags at everyone and carries her stuffed sheepie around with her wherever she goes.
Tri State Corgi Rescue concentrates on rescuing Corgis and Corgi-mixes. We don't have a shelter; we are individuals located in Ohio, Maryland, and West Virginia working together to rehome Corgis whether they are turned in by their owners or rescued from a shelter. Until we can match them with their forever homes, our dogs live with us or in foster homes where we get to know them. All of our dogs are vet-checked, altered, vaccinated, and microchipped before placement.
If you are interested in adopting a dog, your first step is to fill out an Adoption Application. We will be glad to answer questions about a specific dog you have in mind. Your references will be checked and if your home seems like it might be a good match for the dog you are interested in, one of our volunteers will be in touch with you. We will arrange to have a home visit done before the adoption can be finalized. A signed contract completes the process, and the lucky dog becomes a part of your home, forever.
The adoption fee varies for each dog and we usually include it in the dog’s description. We try to recover the money we spend on the dog for veterinary exams, immunizations, spaying/neutering, heartworm tests, flea control, food, etc. Most of the time, we have to pay shelter fees for the dog we rescue and sometimes we incur expenses in having the dog transported to his/her foster home. Some dogs come to us with medical problems which need to be addressed before they can be adopted. We are not in this for money and we will always ask a fair price for each of our dogs. Typically, we charge $150-$200 for Corgi mixes, and $300-$450 for purebreds, depending on age, sex, and health.
