Who is this dog for?

 The dog would be for just the 2 of us.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 Our boy past away in December. He was a Corgi/Retriever mix but his personality was all Corgi. We know he can not be duplicated, but we feeling going with the Corgi breed will get us closer to the disposition that worked so well for us.
We would rather rescue just because there are so many dogs that need a home. But we would not turn down a puppy if someone just had a litter.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Dog park, lots of walks and car rides, and of course snuggles.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?
 Yes

Willing to house train?
 Yes
Willing to do formal training? Yes

Do you have a veterinarian?

 Yes

Vet contact info:
 {If yes, please provide contact information including the vet’s name, clinic name, street address, city, state, zip, and phone. Also include the website if there is one.:52}

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		I guess it depends on what it was. If it is destructive then I know we are not giving the dog enough exercise or we need to find alternative ways to keep their mind busy. If it is peeing in the house then we need to figure out if more training needs to be done or if it is more of an anxiety issue. You just keep working at it.

Discipline:
 I am not one for "military" style discipline. I have found an quick loud noise and a low toned "no" pretty much stopped any naughty behavior that was happening. Anything that would happen when I may not be there to see it was usually solved with a low tone "what did you do". I know that just because this worked on our last dog does not mean that it will work on the next. But training, exercise, and a "job" for the dog can take care of a great deal of issues.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Once we built trust with the dog, it would have the whole house to roam. I would rather not kennel a dog all day when we are at work. When we are not at work we are big on taking our dog every where we go if they are allowed. I hate it if I come home from work and then leave right away. It just isn't fair to the dog.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 There is no one home during the day, but our last dog was elderly so I was used to coming home on lunch to take him for a walk. It killed me to leave again, but he needed a break during the day.

Where would dog eat?
 We have an eat in kitchen. That is where we kept the food and water bowls.

Where would dog sleep:
 Things would be the same as with the last dog. There was a dog bed in our room next to my side of the bed, another dog bed in the living room, one in the car, one in the garage, and one in the basement. Plus our bed, the couch, chairs. Basically my dog could sleep where ever they wanted. I'm a sucker.

Play & exercise:
 I am used to walks in the morning before work, the lunch walk, and a walk when I got home, plus another one after dinner and sometimes a quick one before bed. We did that with our last dog rain or shine, snow or ice. He needed his exercise even when we got older. Plus we went to the dog park often.
For the new dog we will be putting up a fence so we can use the back yard more than we could before.

How will you exercise your dog?
 Both on leash and restrained to the yard

Fenced yard?

 No, I don’t have a fenced in yard.

Willing to pick up dog waste?
 Yes, I will clean up after my dog.

Willing to use a crate?

Living arrangements:
 Own home

Landlord info:
 {If you rent/lease your home, please list the name, telephone number and email address of your landlord. State “Not Applicable” if you own your own home.:67}

May we contact your landlord?

Lease allow dogs:

Landlord permission:

Restrictive covenants?
 Not applicable

Breed/size restrictions?
 No

Description of yard:

 We have a ranch house. We have a corner lot so the backyard is a little small, but the perfect size for a corgi. We will be putting in a fence within the next few weeks to prepare for a new doggie addition to our house. Across the street is a community walk along the river. We have many dog owners in our neighborhood. So there is a lot of opportunities to socialize.

Household members:
 {Describe all the people who live in your home, include names, ages and interests. For example, Mary Smith, 29, Enjoys cooking, dog training, gardening and running.:75}

Everyone in household agrees about adopting a corgi?
 Yes, everyone agrees and wants to adopt a Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

May we do a home visit?

 Yes, I will allow LPWCR representatives to inspect my home prior to allowing me to adopt a Pembroke.

Who will be responsible for the adopted corgi’s care?
 We both are responsible

Willing to train children?
 There are no children in our home and we will not be having children other then 4 legged furry kids.

Any allergies?

 No one is allergic.

Current pets:

{Please list and describe all of the pets that currently live in your home, including the name, type, age, sex and whether it is neutered. For example, Lenny, komodo dragon, 3 years old, not neutered.:80}

Current pets dog friendly?

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?
 This would not be a problem. Our dog has passed, so there is no worry of introducing a new dog to the family. If we choose to get another dog in the future the current dog at the time would need to pick the dog. We would never just bring a dog home and force them to get along.

Lifetime commitment to Pembroke?

 Yes, I am willing to commit to this dog for the rest of its life.

Return to Lakeshore if unable to care for Pembroke?
 Yes, I will only surrender my adopted corgi to LPWCR if I am unable to care for it.

Understand no guarantees?

 Yes, I understand that there are no guarantees regarding the condition, health, behavior or personality of the Pembroke I adopt.

Carefully considered the pluses and minuses of adopting a pet?
 Yes, I have carefully thought out my decision to adopt a Pembroke and am willing to deal with the consequences.
