Susan Luong From Queen's Best Stumpy Dog Rescue comes back onto the show to help us get a clear picture of what is really involved in fostering for rescue.

Too often, pups will come back if the new home is not properly suited due to the new pet home not being as prepared as they thought. Susan gives us some perspective on how to prepare, what to expect, and advises to be mindful of what one will be taking on when agreeing to offer much needed help.  @queensbeststumpydogrescue6672  References: https://www.queensbeststumpydogrescue.org/#corgi #rescue #rescuedog #shelterdog

Corgi Mom Christina joins us and explains that when she got her corgi Ham, she noticed that getting the perfect fit for outerwear necessary in cold climates was difficult due to Ham's stature. Corgis, with their short stumpy legs and barrel chested torsos are often hard to get the right sizing for when purchasing clothing. This fact inspired Christina to start LowRider Petco. Join us to hear about the inspiration that started it all and the journey so far. Shop: https://lowriderpetco.com/ #corgi #podcast #dogclothes
