Sadly, DM is way too common in corgis, Arizona Cactus Corgi Rescue Team has helped MANY corgis through this devastating disease. Rescue is a difficult job but rescuing, fostering and caring for handicapped pups is a BIG ask for the fosters and caregivers! While it's heartbreaking and hard work for the humans, our team is dedicated to giving each baby whatever it needs to be comfortable and loved thru their DM journey! This disease is awful and SHOULD be prevented by responsible breeding!!! We support Shade Out DM Foundation in their work to focus on educating future corgi owners. Therefore, we are joining paws with Shade Out DM Foundation in their Annual RACE to #ShadeOutDM. It's an opportunity for our loving community to show their support and help spread the word about DM.

We are their voice! 💜 No pup should suffer from Degenerative Myelopathy, and no pawrent should have to watch their beloved companion lose their mobility. Together, we can #ShadeOutDM - but we need your voice, your heart, and your help to make it happen. 🐾
This is our 7th Annual RACE and our fifth year as an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Every team, every mile, every share helps us reach more people and more pups.
Our mission:
- 🐶 Honor pups currently on this journey or remember those we’ve lost.
- 🤝 Support other owners through our #ShadeOutDM member support group on Facebook.
- 📚 Educate the public that DM can be prevented through responsible breeding and proper health testing before breeding.
- 💌 Raise funds for our Loaner Cart Program and mission efforts - attending events, veterinary conferences, and shipping awareness materials across the globe to “bark out loud” for the pups.
We’re so excited you’ve joined us and can’t wait to see how far and wide our message will travel this year! 🌊🐾
