About Socks

Socks came from a tough start in Texas, living with 16 other corgis after her owners passed away. She arrived shy, but in the time since, she's started to blossom and show her sweet, gentle side. Socks will quietly approach, sitting next to you just to soak up affection—she has a calm and patient spirit that puts even nervous companions at ease. Her easygoing nature makes her a natural with other dogs, and she doesn't mind cats or children, either. While she may hesitate when meeting new people, she gathers courage quickly and is ready to make friends at her own pace. Socks is still working on house training and will need some guidance in that area, but her loving temperament shines through every day. This little corgi just needs someone patient who will let her settle in and become the wonderful companion she's meant to be. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
