The Story

Joplin is our August Corgi Of The Month and the star of the viral video "Joplin's Baroo – Cute Corgi Howls At Ambulance". Carol Young is the proud parent of this wonderful and cute Corgi.

Here is the full rescue story told by Carol :

In March, our 6 year old corgi Bandit, who we had adopted 2 years earlier from a local rescue, passed away during a supposedly routine teeth cleaning procedure. His heart had just stopped, and we were completely devastated.

It was not long before we realized how much we missed having such a sweet and funny guy around, so we began keeping an eye out for another Corgi to adopt. And that is when we read about a little Corgi in Joplin Missouri who needed the help of Corgi Nation so that he could get the emergency medical attention that he needed. This little dog had been dumped out of a car onto someone's driveway and left to die . Fortunately the owners of the property were home and saw what had happened. They loaded the bleeding dog into their car and took him to the Joplin Humane Society. He arrived bloody and unable to move, and appeared to be close to death. That is when Joplin Humane posted his photo and asked for donations so that he could be taken to the emergency vet.
