Who is this dog for?

 Us

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We have done extensive research on corgis and have wanted one for many years. We love how vocal they are and how much of a busy-body they tend to be, as herding dogs. The companionship is the best – they can be like shadows to their owners, which we love! We have pet sit in the past for a very senior corgi who had trouble with stairs (as we expect with corgis) and have talked to the owner about what to expect with senior dogs, as we know dogs are a life-long commitment! We have waited many years because we wanted Ariel to finish her doctorate before rescuing another dog, mainly because now we are a double-income household and believe we have the financial stability to provide for another rescue.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Herding activities, training for new skills (we have taught our 4 year old rescue pug a great deal of "tricks", and we are very proud because pugs are notoriously hard to train!), take on all family adventures, keep healthy and at a good weight (pugs are known for being overweight but our girl is 13 pounds because we feed nutritional food and stress keeping active).

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: 		With our dog, we have had to break the behavior of begging. She used to sit and bark when we were making food or eating, which we counteracted by a stern (not yelling) "No." We do not use her name when disciplining, as we have read that this can give dogs a negative connotation to their name. We absolutely do NOT believe in the method of rubbing the dog's face in an accident on the floor if it occurs.

Discipline:
 See above. A stern "no", no physical discipline, and no use of her name. We also do not put her in her crate if she misbehaves because this goes against the crate training that established the crate as a safe zone.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 At home with us and his/her pug sister Lola!

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 3 days a week during normal work week hours, at least 1 of us is home. Additionally, Michael works from home once a week.

Where would dog eat?
 Currently our dog has a water dish and maze bowl in her crate, as this is where she is most comfortable eating. Likely, we will do the same with the corgi's crate.

Where would dog sleep:
 In our bed if he/she prefers, unless he/she is crate trained prior to adopting, as we have read that open-door crates often serve as a comfort station for dogs. Our pug sleeps with us.

Play & exercise:
 See above comments on day care in order to play with other dogs and stay socialized. Additionally, we currently go on a 30-45 minute walk with our pug daily and take her to as many dog-friendly events as possible. We have memberships to 2 local dog parks which we would extend to also have our corgi included.

How will you exercise your dog?
 On leash

Current pets dog friendly?

 Yes, all of our current pets are friendly toward dogs.

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?
 Yes- although we don't anticipate any issues due to Lola being very friendly towards dogs, we have researched this in the event that the new corgi is uneasy with other animals. We will be limiting ourselves to only 2 dogs (Lola plus a corgi).

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.

 Yes, I have carefully thought out my decision to adopt a Pembroke and am willing to deal with the consequences.
