2009 Corgis Gone Wild the Biggest Yet
More than 140 people and 90 dogs had a blast at the 5th annual Corgis Gone Wild on Saturday, June 13th. Perfect weather and a great lineup of fun made it the best annual Corgi picnic. President Rhonda Yost put on games like the Rubber Ducky Retrieve, Peanut-Butter Speed-Lick, and the ever-popular Race. Fifteen more households joined the club, swelling the member list to 120. Ten dogs were microchipped for a very low rate by LaurelEast's veterinarians, lunch was served by ladies from the new local dachshund rescue group WienerFest, and--best of all--Andy, a sweet little Pembroke Welsh Corgi got a new home. Our many corporate sponsors deserve a huge thank you. See the list on this page, and tell them thank you for supporting YACC by supporting THEM with your business. Don't miss this event next summer--you and your Corgi will have a blast!
Corgis Gone Wild 2009 would not have been the huge success it was without the generous support of these businesses:
AnimaLodge, Bobbi Woerner
LaurelEast Veterinary Clinic, Dr. Russ Woerner
Gardner Distributing
RedBarn
more names are being added soon
Andy was a 7 year old red Pembroke Welsh Corgi with a sweet disposition and a terrible problem: he lived on the end of a chain in a back yard. His hair was matted and dirty, his teeth uncleaned and getting loose. He probably hadn't had any immunizations to protect his health. And his people didn't want to spend time with him. When a lady asked to take him, the people gave him up to her.
Though she had too many dogs to be able to keep him forever, the lady saw to it that Andy got shots, dental care, and a hygienic grooming. The lady then called YACC Rescue.
Today, Andy is in a new home with Chris, who loves her new little friend.
At this year's summer picnic, the Club offered a special deal: visitors to the picnic received admission AND their first year's membership dues all for $10 per household. This made participation a little easier in challenging economic times, and included more folks than ever before. The Club database now numbers over 231 names, 121 of whom are members!
