RESCUE
Chairperson — Carol Wyatt
These positions are the guardians of the lost and nearly forgotten corgi. Rescue attempts to identify, appraise, retrain and re-home corgis who have been abandoned, strayed, been given up by past owners or turned into rescue as unmanageable. The rescue committee fosters these dogs, they update needed medical care, retrain as much as possible, temperament test and place the rescues. Rescue administers a transfer of ownership contract with those giving up dogs and adopters are required to sign a Contract regarding care of their new corgi. If possible, dogs are micro-chipped before placement. All dogs are neutered before placement and brought up-to-date on shots and needed medical work (i.e. teeth cleaning, nails shortened). Rescue remains as a resource for adopters after placement of the dog and will always take a dog back into the program if the placement does not work or the adopter cannot keep the dog. Donations are requested for the adoption of dogs and a donation is requested when a dog is given up to the program. The program is currently in need of club members who are able to foster.
