Why Corgis?
Because they're awesome! Corgis are beloved for their unique personalities, which can be incredibly beneficial for those dealing with anxiety and depression.
Lovable Energy
High Positivity
Corgis have a playful and energetic nature. Engaging in playtime activities with them can be a great way to distract oneself from negative thoughts and worries, while promoting feelings of happiness and well-being. They always have energy to spare!
Extremely Loyal
Corgis are famously loyal to their owners. They form strong bonds and are always eager to be by their side. A corgi offers unwavering support and a constant presence that can be incredibly reassuring during difficult times.
Goofy Sense of Humor
Corgis are known for their amusing antics and quirky personalities. They can bring joy and laughter into the lives of their owners, helping to lighten the mood and alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.
My Story
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the lockdown and social isolation had a profound impact upon my mental health. I developed feelings of depression, had difficulty with daily tasks, and developed an eating disorder. Luckily, Tootsie came into my life and became an emotional support animal to me. Since then, Tootsie, and also Daisy, have helped my family and me by inspiring and supporting us during difficult times.
​
Inspired by Tootsie and Daisy, I founded a 501(3)c nonprofit organization named "Corgis Against Mental Illness" (CAMI). Through fundraising and donations, we aim to support established, well-established mental health organizations such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in order to not only have a local effect, but a national impact. My furry friends and I have participated in various NAMI walks and I have been actively involved with my local NAMI chapter (NAMI Coachella Valley). Tootsie and Daisy are certified therapy dogs who have been spreading the joy and love that corgis can provide.
​
Every single dollar that we raise goes towards the fight against mental illness. Thank you so much for supporting our cause! Tootsie and Daisy thank you too!
