About Us

I’m the reigning Corgi Guardian Angel, who trains the new foster dogs, since Mom is president of Pet's Second Chance and has owned Corgis for over 30 years. When new fosters come into our home, I teach them the house routine, the rules, and a few manners to help get them ready for adoption into their forever homes. I also show them how to tend to the garden as a member of the mole patrol and mulch pile police.

Sometimes the Corgis come to us very ill. Then I help Mom nurse them back to health. Mom has several foster homes that care for other rescued Corgis. These kind folks are committed to our rescue’s mission and love the rescued dogs very much. Our rescue works with an excellent veterinary clinic in St. Louis with years of experience and knowledge of the physical and emotional baggage that may come with the dogs. We also work with Dr. Ava Frick, a Veterinary Rehabilitation Specialist. To learn more about her practice, click here.

Unfortunately, some of the rescued Corgis need surgery, too. Dr. Todd Allen is our surgeon - click here for more info.

Wiley, CGC (Canine Good Citizen) and winner of sundry agility titles was a rescue at a mere14 weeks of age. He showed promise as a high energy, vocal, and intelligent dog. After receiving his ILP for AKC, he began training in agility. Wiley earned his first novice agility leg at the 2001 PWCCA National Show where he won first place in his height division. Evaluated for herding instinct, he passed with flying colors. Sadly, Wiley now waits patiently at the Rainbow Bridge to be reunited with his loving family.

Reed's Honey Drippin' Grits, MACH, or you can call him Grits for short. As a twelve-month- old puppy, he was too much dog for his owners, who had received him as a gift. Unfortunately, they kept him in a wire crate most of the time, which left him with only a bit of tooth enamel from trying to chew his way to freedom. Now an agility champion with his CGC, he will begin tracking.  Since he is affectionate, intelligent, and loves to work, we know he will excel in tracking, just as he has in agility.
