St. Anthony's Canine Rescue: Idalla Rose O'Bryne

October 4, 1998 ~ September 21, 2012

SACR Adoption Process includes:

completion of a pre-adoption application; homecheck; two week or longer trial period; followup visit if applicable (not for long distance placements; adoption contract; adoption donation (as posted on each dog's bio); and, lifetime return of our adopted dogs.

SACR looks for forever homes and only places our dogs with families with children under the age of 8 years if they are extremely well-mannered, with diligent parents who supervise the youngsters with the dogs at all times.

Because both purebred corgis and corgi mixes are our speciality, we recommend a book called "Everything Corgi" which you can order on line at the CorgiAid Book Store. Sales benefit CorgiAid, a nonprofit organization founded to provide financial assistance to corgis and corgi mixes rescued from shelters or other non-permanent homes.

If interested in adopting an available dog listed here, please review the pre-adoption application, copy and paste into an email, answer the questions, and email to corgially@yahoo.com
