RESCUED Corgis are considerably less expensive than Corgis from a breeder.
I have to respectfully disagree. The in ital purchase price from a reputable breeder may initially cost more than adopting, but you may spend alot more down the line with health care/behavior costs for a corgi that didn't have the health testing, careful selection of parents, and initial nurturing environment reputable breeders provide. Plus, with a reputable breeder you have the added security of being able to return the puppy, if it becomes absolutely necessary, someone to turn to for advise and help, and some may even assist with vet bills from inherited conditions.

There are many good reasons to adopt, but I don't think cost is one of them.
