Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	This Pembroke is for me. Recently I had to have Eliza, (the Amazing Wonderdog) euthanized. What i had thought was arthritis was spinal myelopathy. She was also being treated for Cushings disease by a local vet with frequent consultations of a veterinary endocrinologist. At 9 1/2, under treatment for the disorder for 2 years, she was doing well. With the Cushing's diagnosis I promised both of us I would do everything I could do to maintain her health and that I would not let her suffer. Eliza was my companion and service dog for my hearing loss. She was interesting, frustrating, and sometimes even sweet. Every day she made me laugh. I'm looking for my next dog. I would LOVE if that could be a corgi! They are so smart, clever, sassy, curious, bossy, and did I mention cute? Lying on their backs with their tongues lolling, staring down their noses at you when you won't share your chips. I have never not had a dog that I didn't love, but neither have ever had a dog I loved like I loved my corgi. I have looked at puppies on line, but felt this time I wanted to rescue a corgi someone else didn't want. I worked with an excellent dog psychologist/ trainer/ vet tech with Eliza because she was very bitey. This trainer also worked with us to certify her as a service dog. She flew cross country with me when I visited West Coast family and she was all business except for a lapse in Chili's when there were crumbs on the floor. I would expect to work this trainer again. Although it is down now, I will have my PetSafe in-ground fence replaced for my new dog. He or she will have walks, and a large fenced area. I would like you to consider me for one of your rescued corgis.
