Description
Dog Breed: Corgi. This amazing ball of floof is Oreo. Oreo was surrendered by his owner due to too many dogs. Oreo is almost 2y/o and 35#. He is a good boy who is looking for an active home with another playful tolerant dog his size. He is a bit fearful of bigger dogs and gets easily overstimulated. Oreo walks well on the leash and needs longer daily walks plus other mental and physical exercise, and weekend hikes, or a working or sport home. He’d love a basic doggie manners class where he could bond with his person and show you how smart he is. Oreo is working on marking indoors and still does it occasionally and/or when he is stressed and/or if there’s another new boy dog around. He’ll need continued support and supervision and let outside often to do his business. He wears a belly band at night (it’s almost always dry in the AM) and sleeps in a dog bed. He tolerates a kennel for short periods but doesn’t love it, so someone home during the day would be best. His fluffy coat will require more than average grooming. Oreo can be fearful of new grabby hands, humans reaching over him, and fast movements towards him so only homes with children 12+ or no kids will be considered. We do not know how he is with cats but he is very herdy so cats are NOT recommended. Oreo is not a good fit for an apartment situation and requires a good sized fenced in yard where he can run around and he’ll still need appropriate daily exercise to keep him in good shape as he easily puts on weight. A herding breed experienced home would be best as he’s not a good option for a first time owner. He needs some time to settle and patience while he learns a new routine in a new environment with new people. He can be nervous and mouthy at first, but once he feels comfortable, he is very affectionate and cuddly. He should be told at least 10 times a day that he’s a good boy. If you are interested in meeting Oreo, the first step is to complete our meet and greet application at .corgisandfriends/forms We require the application, home and reference check, and meet with everyone in the home. Oreo is neutered, utd on vaccs, chipped, and HW-. His adoption fee is $450 and we do not adopt outside of Colorado.

Overview:
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a charming and distinctive breed, originating from Wales where they were primarily used as herding dogs to drive cattle and sheep. Known for their low-slung, athletic build, they possess a foxy face, large upright ears, and a notably short or bobbed tail. Beneath their thick, weather-resistant double coat lies a surprisingly sturdy frame, allowing for bursts of speed and agility. In terms of temperament, Corgis are generally intelligent, playful, and affectionate, making them wonderful companions. While devoted to their families, their herding instincts can sometimes manifest as a playful "nipping" at heels, which can be managed with training. Their adaptable nature makes them suitable for both families and apartment living, provided they receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation. However, prospective owners should be aware of common health considerations, including a predisposition to back problems (due to their elongated spine) and hip dysplasia, necessitating careful attention to weight management and proper lifting techniques. Overall, the Corgi is a delightful, spirited dog that brings immense joy to the right home.
