BARLEY JO
Barley Jo is 14 months old
31 lbs
Neutered
Heart worm negative
Current on vaccines and heart worm prevention
Microchipped
House and crate trained
Barley Jo is a handsome boy with some quirks his future family should be aware of. He was abandoned in an apartment earlier this year. A kind lady took him in and helped him overcome some of his fears. He can still be quite timid with new people and situations but once he gets to know you, his true funny self comes out. He is also quite loyal to his human. Barley does shut down in a new place. He's getting much better but initially his foster would have to carry him outside several times a day to potty. Now he will usually go out on his own. He knows when he has to go but won't go to the door. He has to be watched to know the signs. He will pace and circle. He's also very easy to spook when it comes to certain noises. He won't pass the laundry room if the washer is running. He isn't fond of a doggy door or thunderstorms. 75% of the time he will look for a place to hide. If he can't escape, he may let out a growl to let you know he is stressed and needs to be alone. Barley Jo is good with other dogs for the most part, but a sweet dog friendly female would be ideal. He's also good with dog savvy cats. He is usually curious and wants to play. If the cat isn't interested, he will mind his own business and find something else to do. Barley Jo is a 14-month-old puppy so he still has moments of boredom where he will chew on a rug or something else, he's not supposed to chew on. He will need a healthy chew toy. He seems to like Kongs filled with treats or peanut butter. Barley Jo also excels at puzzle toys. He learns quickly but the mental stimulation is just as important as the physical with this boy. He is not good on leash. He will just freeze. It doesn't matter if it's a harness or a collar. He has made improvements however his new family will need to work with him on this until he is more comfortable. Barley Jo is quite the herding dog as in he always focuses on feet, and he can also jump fairly high, so we are recommending that his future home not have children under 10 years of age. Once Barley Jo gets to know his new person(s) he is loyal to the end. He will love you and cuddle you. Make you laugh and amaze you with his intelligence.

TINKERBELL & LOUIE
Louie and Tinkerbell are ready to find their furever home!
They are a bonded pair and will need to be adopted together. Louie, the red Chiweenie, is 7 years old, 16 lbs. neutered, current on vaccines and prevention. Tinkerbell is the black and tan, 16 lbs, 6 years old, spayed, current on vaccines and heart worm prevention. Tinkerbell had her left eye removed years ago due to an accident. She’s adjusted well and doesn’t seem bothered by it. Both have their microchips. Also, both were 20 lbs when they arrived into rescue and their foster has been working on getting their weight down. They should continue with a healthy portion control diet and get plenty of exercise. Ideally they would weigh 12-14 lbs.
Louie is outgoing and loves all people and other dogs. Tinkerbell is shy but is always up for a good snuggle on your lap. They are Chiweenies and have done very well on house training but they are Chiweenies, so will need some patience in their new home for the first couple of weeks until they are acclimated. Both are good with other dogs but Louie is more apt to play with another dog while Tinkerbell sits on the sidelines and watches the action from afar. They have been around young children but we would prefer their new home have kids no younger than 8. We aren’t sure about cats so we can’t recommend a home with cats for them. They will need home with a securely fenced yard for them to run and play and do their business. No apartments or multi-family condos please!
Louie and Tinkerbell are currently in foster in Wichita Falls TX. We would prefer they be adopted within 300 miles or where volunteer transport can be arranged if the approved adopter is not able to get to WF to pick up.
They are quite the adorable pair and will make some lucky family very happy!

BRICK
Adopted!
Brick is ready for adoption!
I know it's easy to fall in love with that handsome face but be aware Brick needs to be an only pet in his future home.
Brick is 20 months old, 16 lbs, neutered, current on vaccines and heartworm medication and has his microchip.
This petite Corgi boy is all about his humans! He loves to snuggle and play and then snuggle some more. He's great on leash and doesn't have any problem when he sees other dogs while on a walk. He does get nervous when faced with new situations or sounds. We don't recommend Brick in a home with children under 10. He will also need a home with a good sized securely fenced yard. He is definitely not a dog park kind of guy and he requires plenty of off leash exercise as most Corgis do.
Brick is currently in foster in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and is available for adoption within a 5 hour drive radius. We are not able to adopt out of state at this time due to not having rescue transport available.

TOOTSIE
Tootsie is ready for her furever home!
She's 46 lbs (down from 51), 5 years old, spayed, current on vaccines and gets her monthly heart worm prevention.
Months ago, Tootsie was found wandering in a neighborhood in the Dallas/Fort Worth area several months ago. Luckily, she was found by someone who loved dogs and took Tootsie to her vet when no one reclaimed this sweet girl. Turns out, Tootsie was not only very overweight, but she was also heartworm infected. When we were contacted to help out, we were happy to do so. So, Tootsie has gone through heart worm treatment and has lost some of those pounds. It's not easy to lose weight when on crate rest for 60 days!
Tootsie is good with other dogs, is house trained and loves people!
Tootsie will go to her approved adoptive home with 6 months of prevention and will need a heart worm test in 6 months. She will very likely test negative at that time. Once a dog goes through treatment and tests negative, there is no long-term health effects of the disease if caught early and treated effectively. Tootsie will need to be sure to stay on prevention for life.
Who's ready to welcome this sweet bundle of love into their home?

FOXY
Foxy is ready for her furever home!
This beautiful girl is 5 years old, 40 lbs, current on vaccines and heartworm prevention. We were told she is a Corgi mix. Her head is definitely Corgi but she has longer legs. She is the perfect medium sized companion!
Foxy has a sad story but that doesn't get her down. She was surrendered to a shelter because her former owners apparently couldn't care for her nor could they manage a very easy to manage condition, thyroid disease. We were able to get her to our vet where she received tests and treatment for the unfortunate neglect she previously suffered. She is now stable as long as she gets her very affordable medication. Foxy also has some seasonal allergies she is being treated for. Again, this is something that is easily managed and maintained. Foxy is very sweet. She's good with other dogs and loves people. She bonds with one person but will spread her affection around. She's very calm and mellow. She's also house trained and will sleep in her crate.

SQUIRT
Adopted!
Squirt is now 14 weeks old. He will be getting his 3rd puppy booster next week and then will be more than ready for his furever home! Squirt is about 13 lbs and will likely be over 40 lbs full grown. His mom is what we believe to be a Corgi/Bernese Mountain Dog. We aren't sure who dad is but his sister Squeak looks like she may have some black Lab in her. We call Squirt Mini Moo because he looks so much like his mom, Mrs Moo Gump! He is black with some white markings and tan points as well.
Squirt is sweet as can be and calm at times considering he's still very much a puppy. He is playful and is working diligently on house training. Sister Squeak is adopted and once she's in her new home, we're sure Squirt will get the house training thing down pat since sister won't be around to help him tear up those pee pads!
Squirt and his sister were born via c-section 10 days early but are doing just fine. They were bottle babies and had a weakened immune systems causing them to have a rash that caused some hair loss around their bellies and shoulders. They've been treated and are now growing back that fabulous coat!
Squirt is currently in foster in San Antonio TX but available for adoption within 6 hours drive. Like most puppies, he does tend to get carsick in the vehicle. His approved adopter is welcome to pick him up from his foster home or we can arrange to get him to his new home.

MRS GUMP (MOO)
(Pending Medical; see update)
Post-surgical update: Moo did great after her surgery on 4/14! She is recovering nicely but still won't put her full weight on her left leg. We are keeping an eye on her progress and her foster is doing some gentle PT with her affected leg/hip and she's tolerating it well! We hope to have her ready for adoption soon!
Update: Moolissa, as we are now calling her, has been showing some soreness in her back left hip area. We had her to our vet for imaging and we see that she will need surgical intervention to repair an old injury. We will still accept applications for her with the understanding she won't be ready for her new home for another month or so. We will update as we know more in the coming weeks.
Mrs Moo Gump is now ready for her furever home! What can we say about this girl other than she is perfection in dog form? Moo was given that name by the shelter because it's the sound she makes when she barks. Those barks are extremely rare occasions! Moo was on death row right before Thanksgiving when we saw her. At first glance, we didn't see Corgi and then we saw those adorable stumpy and very Corgi legs attached to the head of a Bernese Mountain dog! Moo acts more like a Bernese than a Corgi. She's super mellow. Nothing bothers her and recently she's shown interest in playing with the other dogs! She does get food motivation from her Corgi heritage but sits nicely for treats. When Moo was at the shelter for 3 weeks, the vet staff said they believed she had an inguinal hernia. She also looked like she had swollen mammary glands and possibly a mass. We got her into foster in Austin and soon scheduled her for pre-op exam and x-rays with our vet. I got a call from the vet tech and she sounded very strange. She told me that Moo did indeed have a hernia in the inguinal area but she also had 4 growths - 4 puppies that is! Moo was pregnant? How did the shelter miss that? How did we miss that?? Of course this all happened on a Friday and our vet wasn't sure how far along she was but at least 50 days. If she went into labor with that puppy inside the inguinal hernia, Moo could bleed out before she got to a vet. To makes matters worse, most of the emergency vets in Austin chose that weekend to be out of town. Thankfully we found a vet in San Antonio who could get her in the following Monday for an emergency C-section and spay. Moo did great but her puppies were 10 days premature. She had 2 boys and two girls. One boy and one girl survived and are thriving today! Since Moo didn't go through natural labor, she rejected her pups and said her single mom days were behind her. So off to her foster she went. We could tell Moo was feeling so much better now that she had the hernia repaired. She now will walk on leash and is much more alert and enjoying life. She has even started to engage in play with her fur foster brother and sister. It's easy to know when Moo is happy because you can hear her tail thump thump thump. Moo is 44 lbs, spayed, 3 years old, current on vaccines and heart worm prevention. She has had her staples removed but still has some mammary swelling. She's obviously had several litters before and so she's a little saggy baggy in her undercarriage. That will all reduce as time passes but will likely still have that extra skin Moo is so loving! So loyal! So sweet! So ready for her perfect furever home!

CHAMP
Available (See update in bio)
WDCR is happy to welcome CHAMP the CoJack into our little rescue family!
UPDATE: We were able to get Champ into foster in Carbondale Colorado where he was able to be tested around smaller dogs. We found out that Champ does indeed get along with smaller dogs but still will not tolerate larger breeds. He seems to interact more with the younger and more active Corgis. The Colorado lifestyle has been good for Champ. He goes on daily hikes and has lost several pounds! He still doesn't have a good recall so he will always need to be on leash when out and about. We also learned he likes to counter surf so his future home will need to be sure to keep all food put away at all times. Champ is now available for adoption in CO or WY! Please see end of bio for adoption application.
He is currently in foster care in the Houston area. His foster found him after being dumped several months ago and was able to get him neutered and vaccinated. We will make sure he gets his microchip prior to going to his forever home. Champ is 3 years old, 20 lbs, neutered and current on Rabies and heart worm prevention.
Champ does NOT like other dogs but he does like cats. He is fond of people now but initially he was scared and would get snappy. He is now very sweet and friendly but we don't recommend a home with children under 14 for this adorable CoJack (Corgi/JRT)
Champ is active. He loves food and going on runs and walks. He likes to sleep with a toy and loves his dog bed. He loves to run, it’s one of his favorite things to do. Typical of his breed mix, he has a lot of energy, needs slow introductions to people and food is the key to his heart. He will love you and cuddle you all day once he gets to know you. Champ does fine in a car as long as he's not crated. He is house and crate trained and will make some active person(s) very happy!
Because Champ does not do well with other dogs, rescue transport out of Texas is not an option. He will need to be placed in Texas and approved adopter should be willing to drive to Houston or live in the area and meet Champ in person since he can be slow to warm up and needs slow introductions. Once he is comfortable with someone, he gives all of his love and devotion to that lucky person! I've attached videos so everyone can see what a sweet doll he is.
