Kirby, Tucker, Cricket, Gunny and Penny: The Proud Spirit #Corgis
Author Melanie Sue Bowles lives with five Corgis (one of them a mix) at her Proud Spirit Horse Sanctuary in Georgia. Compared with the ten other, mellower resident rescue dogs, the Corgis constitute a “maniacal hairy conga line.” They bark.

Arizona Cactus Corgi Rescue Picnic!
Most Thursdays on the blog, we have one (or more) adoptable Corgis looking for new homes.

Fawn first appeared on The Daily Corgi in June, alongside two other Corgis rescued by Corgi Connection of Kansas at a breeder auction in Missouri. See the story here.

Sam of Florida, The Quicker Licker Pupper!
Sam came to grace Sara O.’s life by way of Sunshine Corgi Rescue. He just turned one a week ago, and gets even cuter than THIS every single day. (I know, huh? Impossible but true). Sam was a foster. When Sara got him, he was nine months old. She didn’t think her home was ready […]
