Type of Dog Wanted
Ages interested in:	5 years – 10 years, 10 years +	Gender preferred:	Either a Male or a Female	Color preferred:	Any color	Activity level:	Couch Potato, Quiet
Other preferences:	I move slow due to a joint disease. two 30 minute walks a day are about all I can handle, with potty breaks as needed of course. I would love maybe an older corgi, who is a little bit slower moving too, like me. We have plenty of walking trails nearby, so no shortage of place to take them.

Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Us! An engaged couple
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I grew up with a corgi, and she was wonderful. I love their size, which is a major factor as I have some joint issues, and larger dogs jumping up can hurt me and knock me over. They are also smart, and mine was very sassy, which I loved as well.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	So, we are looking for a lower energy dog, so an older one would be ideal. As mentioned previously, I have joint problems, so I typically do two 30 minute walks a day, with potty breaks as needed. Im sadly not able to run anymore, and I am unable to take them on several mile walks several times a day. As far as indoor activities, puzzle toys, kongs, I really am looking for an older dog who maybe moves a bit slow like I do to enjoy some nice strolls, naps and cuddling if desired by said corgi.

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	Tell him no, and try to redirect them. For example, our previous dog took a while to house train, when we saw her start peeing in the house we would say no and immediately take her outside.
Discipline:	Positive reinforcement. Treating and praising when the corgi does something correctly. Going back to previous example, we would praise our dog and treat her every time she peed outside.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	In our apartment.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	Yes, I am home the majority of the day. I do leave typically 3 or 4 days a week for a few hours for doctor's appointments, but I am mostly home. My fiance is gone a typical 8 hour work day.
Where would dog eat?	In the kitchen
Where would dog sleep:	Wherever they want. Our previous dog liked her crate and chose to sleep in there, we are also fine having dogs on the bed, or in a dog bed in our room
Play & exercise:	Sadly, as mentioned previously, I cant run or take them on super long walks as mentioned earlier. So two 30-45 minute walks a day around the trails. (with potty breaks as needed of course) We also have nice dog parks nearby we can take them to a few times a week so they can run more. But, for that reason a low energy corgi would be best for our lifestyle.

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?	I am unable to work with a dog who is cat reactive. We sadly do not have the space to isolate my cats long term, we do have a second bedroom the kitties can be in for a week or so while the new dog adjusts, but any longer than that and my cats become stressed. I am willing to work on if the dog is interested in chasing a bit, or trying to play too much. But I am unable in my current set up to work with a dog who is aggressive towards the cats and attempting to bite them. I am willing to work with leash reactivity, dogs who are shy and are terrified of people, but cat reactivity is the one behavior I just don't have a good set up to work with My one cat is very friendly towards dogs and wants to be everyone's best friend and she will go up and sniff the dog. The other one is aloof and doesn't want anything to do with them .
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.
