Gender preferred:
 Either a Male or a Female
Color preferred:
 Any color
Activity level:
 Couch Potato, Quiet, Playful

Other preferences:
 I have a home with no children but 2 senior cats. Corgi would need to be one that would not be aggressive towards them. I can work on herding behavior, and one of the cats is very assertive and won't allow a dog to mess with her.

I am single and work outside the home. I would need a dog that is housebroken and did not have significant separation anxiety, as I am gone for anywhere from 4-10 hours at a time.

Who is this dog for?

 Myself

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I just yesterday lost my almost 12 year old corgi to cancer. I was his owner for 8 years, having obtained him from the Middle Tn Corgi Rescue in 2012. Having him has lead me to a love for and appreciation of the breed. I love their quirky personalities, big personalities in little bodies, and their intelligence.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Walks, traveling companion. I do not show or breed. My last corgi went almost everywhere with me, provided that I could take him.

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? No

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: 		Not to scold the dog harshly but to try and reinforce good behaviors so that he/she learns appropriate behavior.

Discipline:
 I hardly had to discipline my previous corgi, as he was so good and listened pretty well. I would tell him "no" or "bad dog" if the situation was dire enough that the behavior never needed to be repeated (like chasing another animal or snapping at the cats (which he did a time or two)). I do not support any physical retaliation as part of disciplining.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Indoors. My home.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 No.

Where would dog eat?
 I have a spot in the kitchen where I feed my animals. Dog was kept separate from the cats to avoid food aggression behaviors (my last corgi did not like to share his food).

Where would dog sleep:
 Usually beside my bed. I could crate overnight if need be, but would prefer not to.

Play & exercise:
 Yes. Walks or yard time in the afternoon after I get home from work. Play indoors (I have a large house with lots of room for play).

How will you exercise your dog?
 On leash

 No, I don’t have a fenced in yard.

Description of yard:

 Large open back yard, not fenced in, but there is a fence separating me from the property behind my house to prevent roaming that direction. Neighbor has a dog and uses an underground fence. My previous dog did not like to socialize with that dog due to its energy level, so fencing the back yard was not an issue. Neighbor on other side does not have dogs. I live at the end of a cul-de-sac, so we don't have a lot of traffic, but I do be mindful when outside to approaching vehicles. Front yard is not fenced either. No homes in my neighborhood uses fences for pet confinement (all use underground fencing) and I have been very hesitant to utilize this type of fencing on my otherwise well-behaved senior dog. The only fixture in my yard is an old swing set that was present when I moved in. No pool (and no pools in the neighborhood).

 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?
 Myself

Willing to train children?
 I do not have children myself. I occasionally spend time with my brother's family, and he has 3 children (ages 7, 5, and 3). They are good with dogs and have one of their own.

Any allergies?

 No one is allergic.

 Yes.
