Corgis — and their owners — cavort in Cannon Beach
Fifth-annual
fundraising event
brings thousands
Hundreds of corgis
and
their
owners
gathered this week-
end in Cannon Beach
for the 5th annual Ore-
gon Corgi Beach Day.
The event started with
just a few dozen cor-
gis and their owners
and has ballooned in
size in recent years.

CANNON BEACH — Hordes
of corgis and their owners inundated
Cannon Beach Saturday as a part of
the fi fth Corgi Beach Day .
The short-legged dogs with faces
that seem to be perpetually smiling
came in all shapes and sizes, with
some even dressed up as dog-sized
tacos, sushi rolls and mermaids .
W hat started out fi ve years ago as
a group of 30 friends from Portland
with a shared passion for corgis now
attracts more than 1,200 owners and
500 corgis from all over the coun-
try, event organizer Jennifer Robin-
son said.
“I’m blown away by how fast it
has grown,” she said.
The event originated as another
way for the Portland Corgi Meetup
group to share their love for a dog
“that can’t help but make you smile”
in a new setting, Robinson said. But
once the event started to grow it
started to incur costs, which le d to the
idea of making the meetup a fund-
raiser for the Oregon Humane Soci-
Rebecca Sprengeler
‘These dogs have a way bringing
lots of different people together.’

The annual Oregon Corgi Beach Day was celebrated over the weekend
in Cannon Beach with hundreds of dogs and their owners .

investigate animal cruelty and neglect
cases.
“We are so appreciative of this
group’s support and generosity,”
Kittrell said. “It helps create aware-
ness for our programs while also hav-
ing fun on the beach.”
While there were many dogs that
were enjoying the soft sand and 75
ety for the past three years.
Last year, the 400 corgis and their
owners generated $6,000 in dona-
tions. This year, Robinson said early
estimates came to $9,000.
Oregon Humane Society commu-
nity relations coordinator Stephanie
Kittrell said the donations from these
events help fi nance day-to-day costs,
as well as support programs to alle-
degree weather on Saturday , there is
something unique when it comes to
corgis and their owners, Robinson
said.
“There’s something about the
community surrounding these dogs.
Everyone is so warm and welcom-
ing,” Robinson said. “I don’t know
— maybe the personality of the dog
just brings that out in their owners.”
Whatever that “something” is,
it attracts corgi owners like Ginger
Sirlin, who travelled with her corgi,
Colton, from Arizona.
“Corgi people are the best. They
are passionate, and kind of crazy in

a good way,” Sirlin said. “But we
rally together when one of us needs
something.”
But Sirlin’s corgi doesn’t just
cheer people up in passing — it’s his
job. As a certifi ed therapy dog, Sirlin
takes Colton to hospitals around the
country to visit patients with demen-
tia and other long-term illnesses. She
and her husband travel at least once a
month to support or sponsor corgi-re-
lated charity events, she said.
“He instantly brings a smile to
their faces,” Sirlin said. “These dogs
have a way bringing lots of different
people together.”
