Different Size, Same Heart

Welcome

FaerieLand Rescue provides essential care and adoption services to German Shepherds and Corgis. We strive to protect and promote these two breeds.

FaerieLand Rescue Inc. is a foster-based rescue located in Minnesota. We welcome purebreds and mixes of German Shepherds and Welsh Corgis, including owner-surrendered, abused, neglected and stray dogs, as well as those from animal control. We educate the public on spaying and neutering of dogs and the importance of vaccinations, training and socialization. All dogs at the rescue are evaluated with the goal of rehabilitation and placement in a FUREVER home.

If you are interested in adoption or fostering, please see the Adoption or Get Involved sections. This rescue’s goal is to find the safest homes possible based on each dog’s temperament. Families who have experience with German Shepherds, own their homes, and have a fully fenced yards are highly preferred. The rescue rarely has puppies available for adoption. When the rescue has puppies, they will be posted on the website. This rescue exists for one reason: to save German Shepherds & Welsh Corgis. Once you are an approved applicant, a Meet & Greet will be set up as our dogs are in foster homes and the rescue is not open to the public.

Our Breeds

German Shepherds

The breed has a distinct personality marked by direct and fearless, but not hostile, expression, self-confidence and a certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships. The dog must be approachable, quietly standing its ground and showing confidence and willingness to meet overtures without itself making them. It is poised, but when the occasion demands, eager and alert; both fit and willing to serve in its capacity as companion, watchdog, blind leader, herding dog, or guardian.

Welsh Corgis

Corgis are very active and energetic. They have a strong desire to please and should receive both physical and mental exercise regularly. They should be socialized early on because they tend to be shy and cautious with strangers and other dogs. They have a tendency to be very vocal, and for this reason make good alarm dogs. They are typically good with children, but due to their herding behavior they may nip at their heels during play, although this behavior can be trained out of the dog. Pembroke corgis are outgoing and playful as well as bold and protective while Cardigan corgis are more devoted and affectionate.
