Ages interested in:
 0 months – 1 year (we rarely get dogs in this age group), 1 year – 3 years
Gender preferred:
 Either a Male or a Female
Color preferred:
 Red & White, Red Headed Tri, Black Headed Tri
Activity level:
 Outgoing, Other (Please describe in the box below.)

Other preferences:
 I prefer males and probably prefer red and white. But if ideal in every other way would consider female or tri-color,etc. as those are more superficial things than health and temperament.
Regarding age. I had some issues with a few adult rescues in past and so I'd like a puppy I could train. If the dog is adult and already has some training, that would work. I also have soft spot for seniors…. but I'm ideally looking for younger….unless it is older dog that still has a lot of verve left in him.

Who is this dog for?

 Two adults in 50s and partially kids still at home (15, 17.). Both kids have grown up with Australian Shepherds and fostering Aussies, though we've been without a dog for 3 years now. Adults plan to have the dog as a pet. Karen "Kate" used to show her Aussies in agility and obedience and is toying with the idea of trying that again so would like a dog with health that might allow for that. Kids would prefer a dog that likes to fetch. 🙂

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have enjoyed many years of owning herding breeds and found them smart, clever, amusing and hearty dogs. I did start thinking with my Aussies that I was maybe getting too old (ha!) to lift them on to the vet table and that I might want a slightly smaller compact herding dog…..which leads me to PWC. I went to some shows and met some and liked what I saw. I worry a bit about back issues and such…never having had a dog with a long back. But otherwise I believe they fit our lifestyle.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Daily walking (we have 1 acre of land in a suburban environment and two fenced dogparks nearby) of at least .6 miles (shortest "Route" around the neighborhood). Most likely would include it in trailer on our bicycle, on hikes, maybe jogging (we'll see how the little legs do, but I'm slow at jogging….). I might get back into agility or obedience…just not sure about that. Would probably at least go to class to learn or reinforce obedience for household,etc. Kids want to play fetch with dog (though they are getting older and won't be big part of this equation). I have herding available to me but it's a bit of a drive and not sure I'm up for that at this point in my life again.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?
 Yes

Willing to house train?

Willing to do formal training? Yes

Do you have a veterinarian?

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		Depends on mistake. Depends on age. Generally speaking I try to re-direct dogs, praise when they are doing things right, downplay the mistakes. If they chew on shoes, for examples, put the shoes away, give dog toy to choose, praise dog when he chews on toy. If see a dog chewing on shoe I make this "tsk, tsk" sound and shake my head and take it away….dog eventually seems to get tone of what is good and what is bad.

Discipline:
 Usually try to shape and reward good behavior. Discipline with dog is more about what will teach dog correct thing to do. Can't recall really disciplining a dog. Maybe I have occasionally separated dog from us if behaving obnoxiously (for short period of time) and then brought it back out to try again and reward/praise when doing well. I have thought I'd try clicker training if I got another puppy….as I did that a bit with my other dogs but when they were older…but not sure how that will work in with discipline, per se….

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 We start with crate training until we know how trustworthy they are ….then I suspect he'd have run of the house. My old house had dog door out to fenced yard. This current yard is so big it has electric fence instead of hard fence and I feel like that is best with supervision so I"m not sure if we'll fence in a smaller area so dog can have freedom to go out as he wants or whether we supervise him during yard play. My partner works from home so dog would have someone around during day on most days.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 see above…yes, one adult works from home. The other gets home at 5 p.m.

Where would dog eat?
 I assume on floor out of bowl in the eat-in kitchen ….that's where our cats eat.
We have cats….the other herding breeds left them alone…we wouldn't want a cat-eating herding dog but we understand a typical corgi may have some interest in chasing cats initially…that's fine..they can climb up out of his way.

Where would dog sleep:
 Depends…crate at first. Later probably on floor in bedroom or whichever room he takes a liking to. My old dogs had a bed in one room but usually preferred our floor.

Play & exercise:
 We walk every night. The dog would go with us. I assume dog would also run around yard (1 acre) with or without us, follow me around as I garden or weed,etc…. maybe an extra walk in the morning. We're a pretty active family and would include the dog whenever we could.

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?
 See above. Currently 1 acre (Backed by woods) with electric fence. I'm not totally comfortable with that so may fence (with chainlink) smaller area….so we haven't decided yet. Thought I might watch dog and supervise and see how it goes.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I would like to adopt a Pembroke because I absolutely love the quirkiness of the breed. I love that the dogs have some of the biggest egos and yet they are the most loyal dogs I've ever met. Lots of my friends have corgis or have had them in the past and I fall in love with those goofy ears and smile every time. I also love that they can be complete couch potatoes but also love to run around and play ball.

Who is this dog for?

 Both of us but primarily for myself, Rachel

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I love how Corgis have short, little legs. I love how happy Corgis always look and how loving and energetic they are. I have never personally owned a Corgi but I have read quite a bit on them online to prepare myself and it is a dream to have one of my own. I follow many social media accounts of Corgis and I can't wait to love my own dog.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I will take my dogs on frequent walks to nearby parks. I also am looking forward to the inside play with toys and tug-of-war, throwing balls to fetch, and playing with other dogs (given that my future dog is okay with that, I don't want to overwhelm my dog with too many things, and I would probably gauge it depending on the dog. I also know of a few dog beaches nearby that I think would be fun.

Vet contact info:

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		I will first work on verbal commands, knowing "no" and "good dog" are good. I aim for positive reenforcement because I want to be as loving to my dog as possible. Maybe give rewards or tell the dog "good dog" when doing good things will help. I would really work on only saying "no" when necessary, and if necessary always remove the dog from situations such as is aggressive towards other dogs or things of the like.

Discipline:
 Mostly verbal, telling them "bad dog" and "no" is the best method. Removing them from the situation, like if my dog is chewing on something it shouldn't be then I will give them something else to chew on like a toy.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 While I am in class (part-time), I will crate my dog until I have trained them to stay inside the house. Otherwise, I will be allowing them through my apartment. I will take my dog outside frequently, and when I am home the dog will be out in the apartment with me

Where would dog eat?
 Whatever is recommended online, by the shelter, or by a vet. I would also look online for what is good for Corgis or small dogs in general.

Where would dog sleep:
 Either on a dog bed, with me on my personal bed (size full), or wherever the dog feels is most comfortable

Play & exercise:
 I plan to take my dog out on walks to parks frequently. As a dog walker, I love walking dogs outdoors and I would also incorporate play indoors in the apartment such as fetch and tug-of-war (so long that it is safe)

Who is this dog for?

 Pembroke is for our family. My husband Cameron and I have a very sweet almost 3 year old daughter that loves animals and an older yellow lab that is our family dog. We had a golden retriever that passed of old age so we have been looking for a sweet pup to bring into our family that we can love and care for. Corgi’s have always been a breed that we have adored so when our golden passed away we knew that the corgi breed would be a great fit for our family.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have loved corgi's ever since I was a little girl, I remember my very close friend adopting a corgi when I was little and I just adored the breed ever since. After my husband and I lost our family dog Jackson, our golden retriever we needed to grieve his passing as our dogs are not just pets to us, they are like our children, they are our family and we love them unconditionally because they give us the unconditional love every single day and they deserve it in return. We decided on a corgi because the breed is a little smaller for one, as we have a average size very sweet yellow lab already. The corgi breed will suit our family and we have done our homework on this breed and have fallen in love with it. As we know every dog is different but from what we have learned from doing our research is that typically corgis are very great family dogs and good with kids, as we have a daughter who adores dogs, she has had dogs around her all her life and we would love to bring a sweet corgi into our loving home.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We are a active family typically. We love to bring our dogs on boat rides, light swimming if the dogs want to, if not they can sunbathe on the boat with me. Little picnics in the park, lots of fun walks, traveling as we love to travel during the summer and we always bring our dogs with us.

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		We have raised two puppies, we do not believe in harsh punishment ever in our home. We use our words and for example with our yellow lab, when he was a puppy he tore up my husbands very expensive cowboy boots, we moved the boots so the puppy could no longer reach them, told him no and that was naughty and moved on. It was our fault for not moving them, just like having a baby you have to puppy proof the home and use your words so your puppy can learn for explain “bad” and “no” and to show the puppy the mistake they made and then move on. Puppies are little and are going to make mistakes that’s why you need to teach them, but also have a loving bond with them so this means being kind always even when they make mistakes, you show them the mistake and say that’s bad, tell them no then move on from the mistake. Mistakes happen, that’s part of life, but we would never hold a mistake no matter how big against the puppy, they are just growing and learning and that takes time.

Discipline:
 We do not believe in harsh punishment, we use our words to discipline when it’s needed. Bad and naughty and no for when the pup makes an oops or does something bad, you show them the mistake and tell them that’s bad and then you move on and when they don’t make the same mistake you always reward them with lots of hugs and kisses and treats of course.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 I’m a fashion blogger online so I work from home and care for my daughter so the pembroke would spemd most of their time with me at home, we take daily walks with our yellow lab so of course we would bring the pembroke with us. On weekends we love to be outside at the park, the beach, taking our boat out and we always bring our dogs with us.

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes, I’m home during the day always as I work from home and care for my daughter.

Where would dog eat?
 In the dining room where we always keep the food and water bowl.

Where would dog sleep:
 The pembroke can sleep In the dog beds we keep in my husbands and I’s Room. But most nights the corgi would probably sleep with my husband and I as we allow our dogs to rest on our bed and the living room couch. If the pembroke wants to they could even sleep in our daughters bed. She’s almost three and sleeps in a twim bed, so the sweet puppy can have its choice of their very own dog bed which we keep in our room, with my husband and I or with our daughter. We are comfortable with all of it as long as the pembroke is comfortable too.

Play & exercise:
 We exercise daily, we are a very active family. I’m a runner so on my shorter runs I would bring the pembroke, we also go on daily walks with our yellow lab and my daughter loves to ride her bike. My husband is a huge swimmer and out on the lake always so especially during the summer the pembroke will spend a lot of time light swimming, boat rides and being on the go with us. We love to go to the dog park and let our dogs run and throw the tennis ball for them too. The pembroke will get daily exercise with our family.

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?
 We have an average size fenced in yard against the woods, but our fence covers the woods so the dogs can’t leave the backyard unless we open the gate, we have a home with a lot of trees around also. We also live only waking distance to a gated dog park that we like to explore from time to time with our dogs.

Other preferences:
 While we know that corgis tend to be a barky breed, we would prefer a corgi that has been trained out of excessive barking, or would be easily trainable out of it. We live in an active neighborhood with a lot of dog and people traffic. We also have a cat who tends to be very dominant and particular with her interactions, so we would want a corgi that is not as prey-driven and gets along well with cats, would be less interested in playing with her and more interested in playing with us.

Who is this dog for?

 While the corgi would be for the both of us, Emily has been the instigator for seeking a corgi specifically for the two of us.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We specifically want a corgi for their temperament. We love that, while energetic dogs, they are easy to train and tire out with some physical and mental activity. From Emily's experience with them previously as a pet sitter, she particularly loves how affectionate and eager to please they are, making them excellent trainable companions. We have done some further research on them, and are always willing and excited to learn more and can be adaptable.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We live one block away from a nice big park with a large pond that we would love to walk our corgi around. We also have a family cabin on a lake up north with a very large yard for it to run around, either fenced in or on a long leash/yard stake. We would love to take it on our pontoon boat for short rides around the lake. For the most part, time would be spent here in the city, walking around the neighborhood, playing in our backyard, taking trips to our dog friendly farmers market, running around our many local dog parks, and visiting countless other dog friendly venues.

Vet contact info:

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		Typically a low, firm "No!" OR, depending on the behavior, removal of attention, is best practice. Calm, not yelling, but a louder, strong voice. Emily prefers to follow corrective discipline and re-direction. Once the behavior is corrected, then reward with healthy treats and affection.

Discipline:
 Emily prefers to focus on reinforcing positive behaviors with affection, praise, and healthy treats over disciplining inappropriate behaviors. Another preferred method is re-direction. A family friend of ours has two staffy terriors who are very high energy and in need of constant approval. A common and effective method for this is redirecting with a highly motivational toy or antler to occupy their attention. We would also be very happy to incorporate the clicker method along with praise.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 We do both work routine schedules, 40 hours per week. Therefore, most of their time during weekdays would be spent un-crated, in our home with our cat, Gemma. After work and on weekends, we spend most of our time in our backyard or the park a block away.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 While we do have friends and retired family close by that would be able to occasionally visit and check on our corgi, we would prefer to keep this temporary while transitioning into its new home with us.

Where would dog eat?
 Our kitchen has ample space for food and water bowls. We would also keep the cat's food and water bowls out of reach on a counter as necessary if our corgi likes to chow.

Where would dog sleep:
 While Justin would probably prefer it to sleep on our couch or on a dog bed, Emily would be perfectly happy to have our corgi sleep on her head or snuggled next to her. Basically, the corgi would sleep wherever it wants to sleep, in a safe place near us.

Play & exercise:
 Our corgi will have plenty of opportunity to play and run around in our backyard every day, and go for nice, mentally stimulating walks around the pond next to our house, at least 4 days a week.

 On leash

Description of yard:

 First, We would be happy for you to contact our landlord, but only after allowing us the opportunity to alert him to this first. Second, we have a small-medium, partially fenced in back yard. It's mostly grass with a brick patio, garage, patio furniture, grilling equipment, and a chiminea firepit.

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?
 Shared responsibility between Emily and Justin

Willing to train children?
 We do not have children, nor desire to ever have children. We will always be willing to take the time to show other children who want to pet our animals how to be respectful and treat our animals, and all animals, humanely. Emily also has a toddler nephew who lives with an elderly german shepherd mix and already understands how to gently pet and respect animals.

Any allergies?

 No one is allergic.

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 are aware that given our cat's temperament, we will need to take great care in properly introducing them to each other. She has lived with other dogs and cats in the past, and we know that while she is not particularly a fan of strangers to begin with, she does warm up to them. We do have experience with introducing her already and are always open to researching new methods to ease the transition.

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?

Who is this dog for?

 For the above mentioned names as a family dog.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We have always wanted a corgi because they are the perfect size and energy level for our family. We like a dog that is not too overly active, can play on it's own, and still have the ability to take it out for a walk to a dog park where it can interact with other dogs. The experiences that we have are more on the side of knowing people we corgis and enjoy playing with them. We understand that each dog breed has it's own characteristics and we understand what it will take to love and raise our future corgi.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We love taking walks already and adding our corgi to the mix would be perfect. We have a yard and live near by parks where we can play fetch or run around.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Do you have a veterinarian?

Vet contact info:

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		It would be a teaching moment for the dog and us. We would provide positive reinforcement while making sure that the dog knows the mistake and learns not to do it again. For example teaching the dog early on to use bells that are tied to the door whenever it wants to go outside to potty.

Discipline:
 Our future corgi must understand that while they are a loved member of the family there are certain boundaries that cannot be tolerated. Proper behavior (no jumping, biting, etc) are allowed. In order for a dog to understand these rules we have to be firm in implementing discipline when necessary. When our corgi behaves in a desirable manner then kudos galore!

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Inside for the majority of the day but with the ability to go outside for those necessary breaks. If it's summer time or nice outside we have the ability to let he or she spend additional time outside. At least once a gain we would take it for a long walk around the neighborhood so he/she can get the proper exercise.

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Currently one of us works from home and would be in the house during the day.

Where would dog eat?
 We will establish a specific spot for our corgi to eat. Not near our kitchen table but in a place out of the way where he/she can eat peacefully.

Where would dog sleep:
 We do not believe in letting pets of any kind on the furniture so our corgi will have a dog bed of his or her own. Depending on the dog's needs the bed could be in our room or in the living room, wherever it's best once we get to know the dog's personality.

Play & exercise:
 A walk in the morning and evening will be routine. On weekends there are plenty of opportunities for more activity – playing with other dogs of friends and family.

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

Who is this dog for?

 This animal will be an emotional support animal who will be trained also as a service animal.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I want to adopt a Pembroke because the breed is one of the most intelligent I have ever seen, even more so than a Lab. They are a medium sized breed which is perfect for my living situation. I enjoy their energy as I myself have energy. I have researched the breed so I do know they are herd animals, they can be nippy, and destructive when bored, but as a trained service animal I do not believe the dog would ever get bored. I love that they have a double coat, which others may not like as it sheds A LOT, but for me, running my fingers through fur helps to ease my anxieties so the shedding does not bother me. We invented vacuums and brushes for a reason.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 On campus, we have a service dog training program called Wags for Mags which is how I will train the dog. As a service dog, it will get to go with me wherever I may go, so there will be lots of walks, (when off duty; lots of pets, and toys, and love).

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		Positive reinforcement. I would never be so cruel as to punish the dog for a mistake. Nothing is perfect. I tell the dog "No." and when they must go outside and I see them squatting where they should not be, I would say "No." again and take them outside to teach them outside it the only potty allowed.

Discipline:
 When they give me good behavior, a treat or a toy. When bad behavior rises, using my voice to put an end to it. I would never hit an animal.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 The dog would spend most of their time with me. I live on a campus for college and they allow Emotional Support Animals as well as service animals. At first, the dog would be just an ESA while I train it to become a Service Animal to warn me of my pending anxiety/irritable bowel syndrome flare-ups which do have the tendency to make me black out. The dog's job would be to warn me so I can get somewhere safe and notify someone what is happening.

 The dog would have its own area in our room where they would eat and have toys.

Where would dog sleep:
 Their bed would be up by my bed as to have them nearby for when my problems arise. If the dog wants two beds, the dog can have two beds. I do not want to place a dog in a crate if I do not have to.

Play & exercise:
 Play and exercise will come from the training. As well as simply being my service dog, they get to go wherever I go and the walks would be everyday.

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?

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.

Who is this dog for?

 My wife and I.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 My wife and I have always loved Pembroke Welsh corgis. First, they’re just adorable dogs. But we also love that they are the perfect size for us but are still active due to their herding background. We have not had many experiences with them but have done a lot of research.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We have a big backyard and would play outside a lot. My wife and I love visiting the forest preserves around DuPage county, where we live, so would want to take a lot of long walks. We also love to take drives m, so we would want a dog that loves being in the car and taking car rides.

Willing to house train?

Willing to do formal training? Yes

Vet contact info:

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		Dogs don’t understand raised voices or physical punishments so we like to use positive reinforcement through treats and redirection. If our Pembroke misbehaved we would direct him/her to the positive behavior and give a reward when it was done correctly.

Discipline:
 See above.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Our Pembroke would spend a lot of time inside where they would have free reign of the house when we are home, but would have their own room when we are gone. We also are building a shaded dog run until we completely fence in our yard, so they would spend time out there if we knew we were only going to be gone for a few hours and the weather was nice.

Ages interested in:
 Any age
Gender preferred:
 Either a Male or a Female
Color preferred:
 Any color
Activity level:
 Outgoing, Quiet, Playful, Energetic, Very Active

Other preferences:
 I am pretty open to considering dogs with all types of personalities and breed characteristics, but my preference would be for a tri-color with an outgoing, energetic personality. I am very active and, marking-wise, it’s simply a preference. I realize personalities can change somewhat over time due to changes in circumstances and environment. My last guy was considered unadoptable – dog- and man-aggressive – since he’d been neglected and abused for his first year, and then spent 8 years in a no-kill shelter. I cannot begin to tell you how many man (and women) and dog friends mourned his passing.

Who is this dog for?

 Me. I am recently retired and live alone. I have two adult daughters who live in the Chicago area and one adult daughter who lives in San Diego. My best friend (a rescued corgi-x) passed away at age 17 this past April, and I am ready to commit to a new companion.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have had two corgis in my life, one a purebred that we purchased from a private breeder for my 7-year old daughter who wanted a JR (because Wishbone). We wanted an energetic dog to keep up with her, but also one that had an off-switch. i did some research and corgi was the obvious choice.. and the absolute right choice. Corgis can run with the best of them, and then come home and be content to snuggle in your lap. They are so intelligent they don’t think they need a human to tell them how to be a dog, but they respond very well to training. They have such self-confidence that demands respect, yet are incredibly comical at the same time. I think the most important consideration with sharing your life with a Corgi, is to know how to channel their herding instincts in a way that mentally and physically challenges them.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I live in Lake County IL, which has a great system of forest preserves and trails that I frequent daily, hiking and jogging, when I’m home. We also have some of the best and largest dog parks, with acres of open space, lots of friendly dog-people and dogs. I retain an annual permit. My first Corgi loved to swim – we have lots of places for that, as well. I do believe that walking on leash is important, as well, and believe there should be daily “business” walks, as well. These add to the bonding process (handler and dog must pay close attention to reading one another), but are also important for monitoring potential health issues that might otherwise be overlooked, such as a loose stool, straining to urinate, etc. My dog receives at least two leash walks per day – first thing in the morning and one just before bed.

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:

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		It largely depends on the mistake and how/when it’s discovered. I do believe that making mistakes is the best opportunity we have to teach a dog right from wrong. So, generally, I would say the response in real time of the mistake would be a stern “no” and direction to the correct/expected behavior, followed with praise/reward for achieving success.

Discipline:
 Developing a strong bond is first and foremost; then, positive reinforcement with patience and consistency.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 With me, whether that’s home or away.

House dog or outside dog?

People at home during the day?
 Yes… ME, now that I’m happily retired!

 In the kitchen. With me.

Where would dog sleep:
 In my bed, his/her own bed, on the couch/floor… my pups are not restricted in my home because they’re part of my family and they know how to behave.

Play & exercise:
 I mentioned some of our activities on trails, in the parks, etc., but I also have friends with dogs and with farms and farm animals. I suspect there will be play dates. Also, there could be games with frisbees and such.

 On leash

Description of yard:

 It’s a 2800 sq. ft. two-story house on a 1/3-acre corner lot. There are no external amenities such as a pool or swing set. The community is well-patrolled and safe, with walking paths and sidewalks. Neighbors are well-connected through social media and know each other through block parties, garage sales, HOA meetings, visiting on the streets and in backyards. All dogs must be and, for the most part, are leash-walked. Their is a dog waste ordinance that appears followed and enforced. I have lived in this house for five years.

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?
 Debra (me)

Willing to train children?
 I am happy to take the time to teach, and children seem eager to learn if you approach it the right way – not scolding, but explaining. Considering my last dog’s history, I found the even rambunctious young kids would become immediately sympathetic, quiet and gentle in response to his story and why he needed special consideration.

Any allergies?

 No one is allergic.

Current pets:

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.
