Who is this dog for?

 Our new Pembroke will be for myself, my daughter and my son.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We are Pembroke Welch Corgi lovers! I lost my dear Pem Snaffle to cancer. She was my heart dog and went literally everywhere with me. She was incredibly loyal to me and to my babies when they were born. She was always by their sides and kept an eye on them at all times to keep them safe. The loyalty, kindness, playfulness and intelligence is what draws me to the breed not to mention cuteness overload! My mom has had several rescue Corgi's over the years until their golden years too so we are a family that loves and understands the nature and needs of a Pem.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 What wouldn't we do with our Pembroke!? 🙂
We are an active family and love to be outside and busy. We will go on walks, car rides, parks, hikes, my mom's horse farm and my son's football games. We will do lots of good old fun playing at home too.

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: 		If my Pembroke makes a mistake, I will use gentle and consistent reminders of our expectations.

Discipline:
 In my experience, they are very intelligent and sensitive dogs and there is absolutely NO need for shouting or physical reprimands. Redirecting and rewarding the desired action or response is the method I've used in the past with great success with my previous Pembroke. Often it took only a look and a soft word to let her know she made a mistake. Consistency, clear expectations and kindness are the methods that I will use with any training (including my kids LOL)!

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 My Pembroke will spend most of her time at home with us. I will use a crate to train or for comfort if that is what she is used to, however, my preference and in the past with our Corgi- is that we not crate our dog either during a time that we are out or at night. I will have a super soft bed and tons of toys to keep her content.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 My kids are e-learning at this time at home full time and I'm working full time from home now as well. During normal non-COVID times, my kids would be at school during the day and I work from home most days. When I do go into the office, I have flexible hours so will adjust them around my schedule for the day. We're all home all weekend and are always doing fun things and activities that our new corgi would join us.

Where would dog eat?
 My corgi would eat in the kitchen.

Where would dog sleep:
 My corgi would sleep wherever she chooses. I would love it if she slept upstairs in one of our rooms like my other Corgi did, but I will have beds in the family room and upstairs in my room if she prefers. My other corgi would want to start sleeping on the bed with me but would tend to get hot and jump down during the night to sleep on the carpeted floor.

Play & exercise:
 Our new corgi will get a lot of play time and excercise. My kids can't wait to have another corgi and will be keeping her very busy! She will be going on lots of walks and supervised off leash play time to throw the ball and run around with toys. If she is at all like my previous corgi, they are so fiercely loyal and obedient, I would almost trip on her because she was always by my side. She would have been offended by my brining out a leash. LOL We will be doing lots of fun stuff and she will go everywhere with us.

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?

Breed/size restrictions?

Description of yard:

 I have a nice yard that is enclosed on 3 sids with a fence. It's open on the sides of the house. There is a porch/patio off the back. It's all grass and we don't have a swimming pool. We would never and have never just let our dogs out to run free in the yard. We spend time in the yard with our dog or will be doing potty walks on a leash. If our new dog doesn't have off leash experience then we will only be outside with a leash. Our hope is that we can be in the backyard with our corgi and she will run around with us and play and not have the desire to wander off. Our previous corgi would never have left our yard or 2 feet from one of us for that matter. They are always wanting to be close as they feel a sense of responsibility to their family in my experience.

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?
 Stephanie

Willing to train children?
 My children have been raised with horses, dogs and cats their whole lives. They are both very experienced, gentle and loving towards animals. They both absolutely love animals and are both so happy I decided to finally give in and replace the empty place in my heart that our last Corgi left when she passed.

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?

 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?
 100%!!!

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.
