Here are Chessie (left) and Noelle (right).  Chessie and Noelle are both rescue corgis and live in their new home together.  Noelle has had some surgeries in the past year to both of her knees at the University of Tennessee!  She has completed her rehabilatation, learning how to use her repaired knees, and is frisking and playing again.  CorgiAid (see the link to the left) paid for her surgeries so that she could be healthy and playful again.  Both Chessie and Noelle have been regular attendees at the Tennessee Corgi picnics through the years.  (See link to the left).  If you have never been to a Corgi Picnic, you are missing out on a very special event!

Brewster, 2005

Brewster was not crazy about other dogs, however, he DOES love kids. He's 10 years old and  is a good boy who asks little except for some attention, love and a couple of square meals a day.  Much to everyone's surprise, the old fella turned out to be a world class swimmer and now he has his own pool and raft!  Older corgis still have plenty of life and love left in them!

Meet Jack! aka "Jumping Jack Flash", and the name fits him to a T.   Jack is an adorable sable pem with a tail. He was found roaming the streets by animal control with no training, but tons of energy. I guess when the "cute puppy" phase was over, it was easier to turn him loose, rather than train him.

Kirby continues to thrive in his new home.  He got everything he asked for in a new family, a calm environment, a sassy corgi sister named Katie, and many walks in the day.  Kirby has learned that people are kind and to allow them to touch him.  Touching means nice things, now, such as petting, brushing and putting his leash on for a walk.

Kirby is still learning to trust, but he is making great leaps forward!  All of our best to this courageous little corgi!

Cassidy by DeWaun

Today Cassidy, our three legged, Corgi mix little boy left the Vet hospital to join his new family.

On Saturday Dec 2nd Cassidy come into rescue.  Since he was contageous, I called my vet to see if they could take him...no room at the inn.  So a call went out to friends to see if they knew of a Vet who might be rescue friendly who had room.  Yorktown Animal Clinic stepped up with a vacancy so Cassidy took up temporary residence with them. As fate would have it, one of the Vet Techs met and fell in love with little Cassidy and when she found out he was available for adoption she set out to do just that.
 
In the meantime, Jeanne and I were trying to arrange transport to the north.  It appeared that the previously planned transport had fallen through, but at the last minute Jeanne got approval to carry him.  All to no avail since he was still contageous on the day of the scheduled transport.  We were all in dispair that we would get this boy into a foster home.
 
On Friday, Jen, the Vet Tech, made the call asking to adopt Cassidy!  An applicaiton was filled out, a home check was done in record time and all references from her co workers were all thumbs up. 
Yesterday Cassidy was well enough to be neutered and microchipped. 
 
Today as I walked in to the Vet Clinic to pick Cassidy up, Jen and Tim were there anxiously waiting to take Cassidy home. In fact they already had him in the waiting room where he was soaking up the attention from everyone. All the staff commented on what a great dog he was, and asked that he come for visits often.
 
The bill was paid, the papers signed, and Cassidy left to start his new life.  Sometimes Christmas wishes come true.
 
Thank you Corgi Aid for approving reimbursement for his medical expenses.
Thank you Jeanne, Di, Pam and Millie.  We all did good.
