PWCCP Rescue helps displaced Pembroke Welsh Corgis find their “forever” home. Our rescued Corgis come from various situations. Some are from shelters, some are due to a death in the family, some because of family conflicts (human or animal) and some just because their family is moving and the Corgi can’t go with them. Placement in our rescue program does not mean that the Corgi was “bad” or abused. PWCCP does not accept dogs with a known biting history. Please be aware that we usually do not get puppies and most of the time the rescues are often adults over five years old. Favorite
