Foster a Dog
These low-riders need your help, and so do we! For every dog that’s in a foster home, that’s one less dog
that’s in the shelter! Being a foster parent can be one of the most rewarding experiences as you provide safety
and structure to a dog in need, acting as the stepping stone to their furever home. If you are ready, open your heart
and home to a low-rider in need, and be the change you wish to see!

Dog Training
A large number of the dogs we receive have little to no training. We believe that basic training is an important part of the trust-building process and helps set the expectations and boundaries that benefit their future forever home.

How you help
Voluntters help ensure QBSDR can be there for the corgis that need us the most.
About us
Queen's Best Stumpy Dog Rescue's mission is to rescue special needs corgis from California's high kill shelters or from persons who need to re-home their dog due to a desperate situation. Each dog is as unique as each human. QBSDR’s goal is to match families with dogs that best suit each other’s needs and lifestyles. We place great emphasis on medical care and rehabilitating our dogs through socialization and leadership training until their "furever" home is found. All contributions are put towards the needs of our dogs.
