 Our last two dogs were 1) a 100+ pound Belgium shepherd mix named Wojo who died last March from what our vet believed was cancer. He was only 8, and we'd had him since he was a scruffy one-year-old. 🙁 We treated with comfort and quality of life in mind, because I feel scary, invasive treatment is cruel when an old dog is in discomfort. 2) A German shepherd short-coated collie mix named Bowie. We brought him home as a foster to adopt on April 9th. He was an absolutely wonderful dog. Our cats loved him, and they're picky. He was foster-to-adopt from Animal House Shelter in Huntley because he was undergoing treatment for heartworm. We brought him in for his monthly shots. We adopted him midsummer, not sure of the date. He was 7. We thought we were going to have a good 4-10 years with him. Just before school started, he got hold of a box of cereal while we were at the grocery store. We were gone for only hour, but he suffocated with his snout in the plastic cereal bag. We tried to resuscitate him, but we were too late. I am still so broken over this, I can't even describe it.

I've volunteered on and off for various shelters and rescues through the years. I don't lie on applications, ever, because you're just trying to find a good match for the guys you've got. You can't do that if you don't have complete info. So I'm telling you everything, and if you feel we're not a good fit, I will accept that. But I don't think I can be without a dog. After Bowie, I thought I could, but I don't think I can let his death be the last experience I have with my own furry dog-child. I have so much love, and nowhere for that love to go. My husband will be a hard sell, but he knows that I just feel like I'm dying inside, and I think he will come around.

Who is this dog for?

 For me. Rebecca, age 45, my 3 teenage children (son Xander, age 17, son Atticus, age 16, and daughter Carter, age 14) my husband Kevin, age 52, a computer programmer currently contracting with Bank of America, and my mom, Diane Brodson, age 72, who lives in an in-law suite in the lower level of our home. Mom and I would be the primary walkers, while Atticus and I would be responsible for the feeding. We have 4 cats who have lived with large dogs before. Our canine family member will need to get along with them.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I've known a few corgis, though not particularly closely. I've always loved the big dog in a small body attitude they have, love their fox-like pointy ears, love their sweetness. They're just one of the cutest breeds. I've heard they can be challenging to train, like a Westie or a Scotty, but that's okay. As a kid/teenager I had a golden retriever who was a rocket scientist and a yellow lab who was a door nob, As an adult I've had a huge (100+ pound) shepherd mix and a medium sized collie-shepherd mix. I'm good with big dogs. After losing Bowie, the collie mix, as I described in the previous page, I thought maybe a somewhat smaller dog would have a harder time counter-surfing, which is a possibility that scares me, but we didn't want to get someone little who shakes or shrieks. A corgi seemed like a good place to start– big dog, small package. They have such great self-esteem, and I love the snuggly thick coat.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Daily walks. TV/couch snuggles. Obedience Training, so we can get to know each other and stay safe. Training to do tricks/ playing with toys (Atticus loves to do this). Supervised time with butcher bones. Rubs and scratches. Trips to the pet store, or to Farm and Fleet. Regular vet checks for shots and maintenance. Occasional trips to the groomer.

We do not have a fenced yard. We would be open to getting an underground fence, but with our other dogs we have used leashes until we felt enough confidence in our training to go off-leash. We never got to that point with Bowie; we didn't have him long enough. We never leave a dog unattended outside, and until we really know a dog, we would never consider off-leashing.

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		For the first days or weeks, positive only reinforcement. We want home to feel safe and comfy. Later on, the harshest we would get would be to tell them no. With our other dogs, when they got into things they weren't supposed to, we would affect a deep voice and say (at a normal volume,) "Oh, No. No. No. Oh! No." Using that deep, 'I'm so disappointed with you' voice was always something they understood. Head would droop, face would look guilty, etc.

Discipline:
 Discipline should be a consistent process, not a punishment. If a dog makes a mistake, it's usually because a person failed at proper maintenance or supervision. If they go to the bathroom in the house, you take them outside and ***praise*** any sniffing around or peeing they do. Then you go inside and clean up with an enzymatic cleaner so the smells won't hang around and be confusing. If you take a dog out enough, they don't usually go in the house. If they get into packages they shouldn't or a garbage can, you tell them no, but ultimately, it's your job to make those things inaccessible. If a dog is crate trained, it's okay to crate them when you can't be with them. The crate should be a cozy den where a dog feels safe. If that doesn't work, there are baby gates and easy-clean kitchen floors.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 When we are home, with us, either walking or watching TV or doing homework or whatever we're doing. Provided they prove themselves trustworthy, they're allowed to sleep on the couch or the bed when we're not in the room with them. If they need to be crated for their own safety while we're away at work or school, we can do that. Our school-year schedule is regular. As soon as the first person gets home, they take the dog out to go to the bathroom and then they come in and hang out together. At night, I'm open to crating or allowing the dog to sleep in our room, depending on what's safest and most comfortable for the dog. I don't think my husband would ever sleep with a dog in bed, but by the side of the bed on a cozy dog bed or folded up quilt would be lovely.

When we were gone during the day, my mom loved spending time with Bowie. She'd walk him and hang out with him in her downstairs rooms, so that our school hours would not be a full-on boredom sentence for our dog.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 My mom is home most days and loved to spend time with sweet Bowie. He was better on the leash than Wojo, so it was easier for her. I know it's asking a lot, but a dog that had good manners on the leash would be easier for her to hang out with during the day, which she would appreciate.

Where would dog eat?
 In our kitchen or the hallway just outside the kitchen, where our other dogs always ate.

Where would dog sleep:
 In a crate if needed for safety or comfort, or by our bed if that proved to be what worked best for all of us.

Play & exercise:
 Daily walks. Daily snuggles and playtime. My kids have more energy than I do for activities beyond walking. Atticus likes playing games and training to do tricks. Carter likes the couch snuggles, as I do. Xander loves bestowing scritches and scratches and belly rubs. My mom likes to do a couple of shorter walks during the day.

How will you exercise your dog?
 On leash

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

Description of yard:

 We do not have a fence, as I mentioned. We live in a hillside ranch, semi-rural suburban. Our front yard is gently sloping and quiet, with trees between us and the street. The whole property is two acres, and this is about a third of that total area. The front door is on the upper level of the home.

Down the slope, there is our driveway, which is longer than average and curves to meet the garage, which is attached to the lower level; the paved area is huge, so a dog that didn't want to leave pavement in the wintertime would have a large area available. There is a broad flat area beside the house where our garden is (veggies, flowers, weeds!!!).

Beyond that, also to the side, we have a woodsy forested area where deer pass through when they're moving through the neighborhood. The woods extend all across the lower portion of our backyard. Near the back door to the house, we have a chicken coop which is very secure. If our dog is not good with chickens, we just won't hang out there. It was never a problem with either of our other dogs.

The least desirable feature is that our backyard, while quite large, does back onto route 176, which is a fairly busy road. The back yard slopes gently at first, but about a hundred yards downslope, it becomes much steeper as it becomes more wooded. There was always plenty of room for our trustworthy Wojo to gallop like a streak of black lightning across that hillside, but I would not let any new dog off leash back there until I was dead-certain that they would be safe, and if we adopted from you and you asked that we not allow it, we wouldn't. We would be sticking to the front yard, and we'd be leashed until we were obedience-certified.

The other side of the yard goes up a small, wooded slope back into the front area. It's quiet and separated from our next-door neighbors by more wooded area. It's really a nice place for a dog, even on the leash. Whether with foster dogs a few years back or with my own furry family members, I've never had a problem working with our yard.

We would consider getting an underground fence, but in the meantime, we've worked for years with the leash.


Household members:

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?
 Rebecca K Rice

Willing to train children?
 We have always worked with our kids on this skill-set, because to know and care for animals is to be a better human being.

2 things: I am slightly allergic to short-haired dogs, such as pitbulls or hounds. That super short coat makes my eyes water. I was fine with my fluffier dogs, and corgis I have met in the past have been fine. I can deal with it if I have a reaction. Anything is better than the grieving I've been doing.

As I mentioned before, my husband is going to take some convincing, mostly because of the money. I will not lie to you about his status. I'm working on him.

Any allergies?

 One or more family members might be allergic to dogs.

Current pets:

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?
 We will be very cautious about introductions, and we will not commit to a dog if it wants to eat our cats, but we can work through our cats not approving of a dog who is curious-not-hostile. Our cats will not like anybody new for a little while, and we're good working through that. With the right dog, we can work through anything.

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.

Who is this dog for?

 Myself and my malinois mix

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 One reason I love corgis is their size. I have a dog who can be a little intimidated by dogs her size. Even though they're tiny, they have silly and goofy personalities which fits well with my home. I like to go in day hikes with my dog and want another dog to keep up with us. Did I mention how cute their butts are?

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Walks, hikes, possiblity of getting agility equipment, swimming at a local dog park, fetch, snuggling. I have a dog walker that comes on days when I have masters classes.

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		Positive reinforcement, redirection. Animals don't realize they are making a mistake. They so what comes naturally.

Discipline:
 Positive reinforcement, using a firm "No.". I don't believe in hitting a dog. Crate training.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Until they are potty trained, decompressed, and are familiar with the routine, they will be crated when I am gone. Eventually they will have full reign of the house. When I'm home they will go where they please.

Where would dog eat?
 In the kitchen, but it's bowl will be in a different spot than my current dog's.

Where would dog sleep:
 With me or a dog bed.

Play & exercise:
 Once they are no longer crated, they can play during the day with my dog. She loves to run around with yard with other dogs. During the week I try to walk my dog as soon as I get home. In the summer we often go to some hiking trails and spend a few hours walking and exploring.

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

Description of yard:

Who will be responsible for the adopted corgi’s care?
 Perissa Jowkar

Willing to train children?
 Absolutely. The dogs came first. As a young child, I wasn't properly trained with how to interact with animals. As a result, one aunt's cat became fearful of humans because I didn't pick her up right. Another aunt's dog bit me, leavine with a fear of dogs for a few years.

When introducing my dog to new children, even though I know she won't hurt them, I discuss the correct way to pet her and to let her smell their hand first.

Any allergies?

 No one is allergic.

 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?

Who is this dog for?

 My name is Victoria. My fiance Luke and I are wanting to add a corgi to our family. Just us and our 3 friendly cats.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We have been wanting to add a dog to our family for a while but took some time to do our research. We dont want to get a dog for the wrong reasons. We want to make sure we get a dog that will fit into our lifestyle so that we can give it the best life possible! Looking for a friendly loving companion. We decided we want a corgi because of the size and general temperament of the breed. The fact that they are generally so smart and loving and friendly was a big draw for us. I have some friends that own corgis and they are all just wonderful. We own our home and have about 2 acres of land so a large dog wouldnt be ideal for us. Our home provides enough space for a medium sized dog to do whatever they want whether they choose to play outside or prefer staying inside more.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We have friends with dogs so we will probably take them to the park together. We want to include our dog in as much of our life as they want to share. Relaxing on the couch and cuddling on occasion and going on walks and playing in the yard.

 Us.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We have been in love with Corgis for many years. When we adopted Pumpkin from a rescue in Georgia, we had no idea she was had Corgi in her genes. She is smart, funny, and loves her scritches (back scratches).

I started seriously researching adopting a Corgi about 3 years ago. We only adopt rescues, never buy a pet. We want another dog to be a part of our family. Pumpkin could use a buddy & she loves dogs her size or smaller.

Why do you want a Pembroke?

 Our family

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We have owned large breed dogs in the past but have always been interested in corgis. We feel a smaller breed would better fit our current family since we now have children, and we love the playful and happy nature of corgis. We have done research and feel our country home and active family would be a great fit for a corgi.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We would involve our dog in as many family activities as possible. We live in the country and spend a lot of time outside as well as visit the family cabin in the summer. We are also interested in exploring agility.

Who is this dog for?

 My Dad and I are looking to adopt a Pembroke for ourselves.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 Back in 2004, my family adopted a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. We named him, Tucker. Tucker lived with us for fourteen years and was well loved. He had an excitement and energy about him that was absolutely contagious. Tucker was playful, intelligent, and mischievous. His personality was very compatible with my family. From what I've read and experienced with other Pembrokes, Tucker's traits are relatively common in the breed.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I would take the Pembroke on multiple walks outside every day and occasionally go for a hike. I would also bring the Pembroke outside with me when I'm working in the garden or doing other things on our property. As far as indoor activities, I have a plethora of toys to play with. I used to do all sorts of goofy things with my last Pembroke, Tucker. My plan is to keep the Pembroke active and having fun.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?

Willing to do formal training? Yes

Do you have a veterinarian?

Vet contact info:

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		My response would vary depending on the "mistake". First and foremost, I would make sure the Pembroke's mistake hasn't resulted in any immediate danger. If the Pembroke has wound up in a hazardous situation, I would remove the Pembroke to a safer location before doing anything else. After that, I would respond gently, but consistently. It's hard to give a specific response without knowing the mistake. My Dad and I would do our best to make an environment at home that is "mistake-proof" which would minimize any mistakes in the first place.

Discipline:
 As I mentioned above, we try to set up an environment that is safe and encourages good behavior. Discipline for our house has always come down to reinforcing the desired types of behaviors and redirecting negative behaviors. We don't plan to "crate" our Pembroke unless it is for training.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Our Pembroke would spend most of their time at our house.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes, there will almost always be someone home during the day.

Where would dog eat?
 We have a specific spot near the area I specified above that will house the Pembroke's food and water dishes.

Where would dog sleep:
 Our last Pembroke usually slept in his dedicated spot underneath our counter top near our garage door. The spot is quite spacious and likely more comfortable than a crate. It's hard to describe the spot, but I believe it was built to be a storage space. Imagine a rectangular cave beneath a counter top. I've seen similar spaces that are used to store shoes, but our space is larger. The front is open so the Pembroke is free to come and go as it pleases. With bedding material inside the space, it is quite cozy. Our previous Pembroke also enjoyed sleeping around the house or in one of our rooms from time to time.

Play & exercise:
 I will play with our adopted Corgi all the time. My dad will play with them as well, but to a lesser degree. My favorite thing about Pembrokes is their energy and I plan to take full advantage of that. I would often play with our previous Pembroke until they were worn out or grew bored. Even without a daily exercise schedule, I can guarantee I will play/exercise with the Corgi multiple times every day.

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