Glad to hear the happy ending and three cheers for Connie's owner who, in spite of her stroke and other health issues, has displayed far more clarity of mind and responsibility than anyone else in this situation.

IF there is hope that an owner can be reunited with their beloved corgi, then yes, I have taken them in for temporary boarding/fostering. I kept a corgi for a family devastated by hurricane Katrina for nearly nine months until they could get their feet back under them. It was the least I could do for victims of that terrible storm. I've kept a rescue a family adopted from me while the young mother was treated for cancer and I was thrilled when he was able to go back home to them. When a breeder acquaintance had very serious health problems, I kept some of her dogs for her.

One can use any kind of rationalization one wishes to excuse the lack of action here, Connie and her owner were failed by the corgi community which could have been a great help and comfort to her.
