Who is this dog for?

 We are looking to add another dog to the family. We currently have a 9y/o Staffordshire Terrier and 2 cats which I have come to believe are ageless. We also have 2 children.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have not had much personal experience outside meeting a family friend's corgis when I was younger but I have been interested in the personalities these dogs are associated with for some time. From what research I have done their temperament is similar to Shelties which I grew up with and loved albeit they seem to be a bit more affectionate which would be great for a family dog.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Knowing how intelligent these dogs are playing games making him/her find treats and toys that are hidden would be the main indoor activity aside from lounging and loving on them as well. Outdoors would include walks, fetch and find games and honestly probably a lot of chasing the kids around the yard I have never met a herder that can resist chasing children.

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: 		Potty mistakes would have a brief verbal negative enforcement along with taking the dog outside immediately to try to reinforce potty training and be sure to reward good behavior/proper potty etiquette. Continued issues would likely result in crate training to limit accident areas and reinforce potty training. Unwanted chewing and scratching would again begin with verbal reinforcement and may also employ the use of a spray bottle. If these issues were to arise I would also make sure there are adequate toys and activities to keep idle paws from wanting to destroy all the things.

Discipline:
 Negative verbals along with showing them the mistake is always a first step. Actively stopping destructive bad behaviors sometimes involves a spray bottle or a rattle to get their attention. Very naughty behavior could be escalated to time outs in the crate as well as continuous leash training. For any discipline method there is always a reward or positive reinforcement for good behavior as positive reinforcement is typically the best option.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Depending on the time of the year it would vary but he/she would be primarily an indoor dog with plenty of outdoor playtime in good weather as we would prefer to spend time with them and not just leave them outside to their own devices the entire time, granted their would be times this would be necessary but is preferred to not be continuous.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 99% of the time someone is home. If there is any time the house is unattended it is typically running errands.

Where would dog eat?
 We have always fed our dogs either in the kitchen or dining room. When we have more than 1 dog present we do feed them in separate rooms to control possible food aggression. We use these particular rooms so all food and treats remain associated with that area.

Where would dog sleep:
 Until fully trained and acclimated to our home we would start with a bed in a crate for the corgi. Once all parties are comfortable and adjusted the crate may be removed or simply left open to create a space they can claim as theirs. If I wake up to a Corgi in my bed I would not be angry

Play & exercise:
 Walks would be frequent but not daily depending on other responsibilities that may require us to stay close to home. We would eventually like to get a fence but would start off with an overhead dog trolly with plenty of lead to roam the yard and play with different toys and chase the kids. We also have another dog that loves toys and tug. For indoor it would mainly be tug and games hiding their toys.

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:

 Corner lot with a yard that circles the entire property. We have an oak, a maple, and a plum tree shading part of the play area. This is a house in the city so the yard is not large but is adequate for running and playing. Walks are required to add variety to the daily life because of this.

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?
 Trisha Manns

Willing to train children?
 Yes we have already done a lot of this with our children and our current pets. Granted our current pets have also been trained to deal with children and how to be gentle with them and we would need to teach our children to be respectful of any boundaries or quirks a new animal may have and vise versa.

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?

 No, some of our current pets are not friendly toward dogs

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?
 Our Staffordshire Terrier is very picky about other dogs but is typically more friendly towards smaller dogs and female dogs. He is not guaranteed to take to a new dog however and we are aware this may require additional training if his reaction is mild. We would prefer he be allowed to meet any potential adoptee first as if he has a strong negative reaction it would be unfair to force him to tolerate a new animal.

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.
