Who is this dog for?

 Brad and Sarah Yocum

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 Corgi’s are absolutely adorable. We have done research. We have both have had limited personal experience with the breed. We both gravitate towards larger dogs, but we really want to be mindful of our cat. Once we have the long and gradual introduction, if our cat is afraid or annoyed of the new dog, we want her to be able to escape to higher ground when she feels she needs to. We enjoy walks and hiking and we know they are a working dog and could keep up with that. We know they are smart and want to take full advantage of that with training! My parents were always very good with training our dogs so I want to follow in their footsteps. I love dogs with the double coats, we know they are extra maintenance. I am willing to do the brushing so I can enjoy the poof 🙂

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Walks and hiking! Spending time outside in our yard (will be fenced in April 2021) and dog parks for socialization. We do not have friends with dogs currently in our area. Would do different types of training, would do an obedience training course. Mentally stimulating toys. Lots of cuddles.

 In our 3 bedroom house or with my husband and I when we are outside.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes, my husband works from home a majority of the time. I work part time 30 hours a week. The two days a week my husband would be at the hospital, a dog would be alone no more than 6 hours at a time. We would rotate times off work the initial few weeks a dog is home to support their adjustment.

Where would dog eat?
 Grain-free dog food.

Where would dog sleep:
 Initially in a crate, would eventually transition to a dog bed without a crate depending on the corgi's preference.

Play & exercise:
 Daily walks, weekend hikes, daily time out to play in the yard and daily time to play indoors during TV time.

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

Fenced yard?

 Yes, I have a fenced in yard.

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

Willing to use a crate?
 Will be getting a fence for the yard in April 2021 so a dog will not need to be restrained on a leash in the yard. Will be a 6ft high privacy wood fence. Fence will be up to side door.

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?
 Our cat is friendly and cuddly to us, she usually avoids strangers or will come out just to look. Minimal contact with dogs in the past and she is afraid of them. Will be planning for a very slow and gradual introduction with any sort of new pet and only with full supervision.

 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.

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.
