Shadey Lane Corgis Puppy Adoption Process

We encourage prospective families to explore our website and learn about our breeding program, health testing, socialization practices, and ENS/ESI.

All interested families must complete our puppy application so we can learn more about your lifestyle, experience, and what you’re looking for in a Cardigan Welsh Corgi.
👉 Puppy Application: https://form.typeform.com/to/a8T1zndZ

After reviewing your application, we’ll connect to discuss your goals, timing, and whether an available puppy, upcoming litter, or retired adult may be the best option.

Once approved, families may reserve a puppy or a place on our waitlist for a future litter. Reservation fees (when applicable) are discussed in advance.

Families receive updates as puppies grow. Puppies are matched based on temperament, structure, and lifestyle compatibility to ensure the best long-term placement.

Puppy Go-Home Age

Beginning with future litters, Shadey Lane Corgis puppies will go home no earlier than 12 weeks of age.

This policy allows us to administer the Bordetella vaccine and give it time to become effective before puppies are exposed to the added risks associated with travel, airports, pet transport areas, veterinary offices, and other high-traffic environments. Although no vaccine can prevent every case of respiratory illness, delaying go-home until 12 weeks provides an additional layer of protection during a stressful and vulnerable transition.

The extra time also allows us to continue each puppy’s socialization, confidence building, routine development, and overall health monitoring before they leave for their new family.

Go-home dates will be scheduled individually once each puppy has reached 12 weeks of age and is considered healthy and ready for placement.
Before go-home, families receive care instructions, veterinary records, and contract details. Puppies go home with a thoughtfully prepared go-home bag including food, supplies, and keepsakes.

Pickup is scheduled with the family, and transport may be available depending on planned routes. Puppy safety is always our top priority.

We proudly offer lifelong support for every puppy we produce and love staying in touch with our puppy families.
