Forever Fosters And Saying Goodbye – Southeast Corgi Rescue

As a rescue, we steadily encounter corgis in want of extraordinary care attributable to their superior age and/or acute well being points. It’s a part of SECR’s mission to attempt to assist when and if we are able to.

That is the place our beloved eternally foster volunteers are available. They tackle the bittersweet activity of caring for our “eternally foster” corgis which can be close to the tip of their life and are, for varied causes (i.e. stage of each day care required and/or anticipated medical bills), thought of to be unadoptable. We contemplate these “eternally fosters” corgis and their “eternally foster” households to be cherished members of our SECR household.

SECR’s purpose with each eternally foster is to offer them the healthiest, happiest, and most comfy life attainable for so long as we are able to. We don’t permit our eternally fosters to undergo – ever! However we do need them to take pleasure in each second they presumably can, understanding they’re liked, cherished, and cared for whether or not these moments add as much as days, weeks, months, or years.
