Who is this dog for?

 Applicant 1- Jayden Richards

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have always been a fan of the corgi breed. I researched the breed and found that they are easy to train because of their intelligence, they are herding animals, they love to exercise but yet able to live in many different environments. I have met several corgis and even attended an event in Minnesota where many corgis attended. Being a recent college graduate, this breed is perfect for my needs. I am energetic and able to entertain it, but it is an easier breed to train. I believe I could give a corgi a great home and the research I have done has solidified this.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I am an active person and enjoying going to the dog park, hiking, and walks. I would exercise my corgi daily and socialize the corgi with other dogs. I would be very loving towards the dog and would give it a loving home.

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: 		If I saw the corgi committing the act I would say no. I would make sure the dog knows that it made a mistake. For example, if the dog peed inside I would pick up the dog and put it outside if I could catch it before it was done. I would then praise the dog for going to the bathroom outside. Positive reinforcement is the best way to reinforce behavior, so I would sure to know the dog is praised for good behavior.

Discipline:
 I would discipline my dog only through my voice. I would never touch my dog or put it's face into the carpet if it peed. I would use a stern voice when I caught it doing a bad behavior, but again I would focus mostly on praising the dog for good behavior.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 My Pembroke would spend most of his or her time at my family home. I am currently living at my father's home which is a very stable environment. We have a very nice background for it to play in and it would exercise frequently. Most often it would be inside of the home.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 My sister is an ER nurse who has a mixture of nighttime and daytime shifts. She would be home primarily with the dog. I wouldn't be home during all of the daytime but would come home to let the dog out during my lunch breaks if no one else in my family was home. My father would also be home on weeknights and weekends to help out.

Where would dog eat?
 My corgi would eat the food my veterinarian recommends for him/her. Currently, I do not know the age, sex, or history of the corgi so it is hard to say what they would eat. I would turn to my vet to recommend the best food for him or her.

Where would dog sleep:
 My adopted corgi would sleep in a good size cage until it is well socialized and house-trained. We would slowly begin to let it sleep in bed with me as it becomes more trained.

Play & exercise:
 I would provide my corgi opportunities to play every day. I go for walks, to the dog park, and hiking. The dog would come with me while I do this. The dog would slowly be socialized to other animals who it could play with as well.

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.

Description of yard:

 We live by the woods with many trees, but we have a large portion of the area for the corgi to play around in. The only fixture in our backyard is a trampoline, but there is plenty of room for the corgi to play.

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?
 Jayden Richards

Willing to train children?
 Yes. Although I do not have children and the corgi would rarely be exposed to children, if he/she was ever near children I would make sure they know how to act around a dog before letting them near it.

Any allergies?

 No one is allergic.

{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?

 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?
 My animals are all fond of each other and have had no issues getting along. All of the previous animals are my parents, so this would be the first animal I am fully responsible for. I would be willing to resolve the problems my Pembroke may have with any of the animals.

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.

 Yes, I have carefully thought out my decision to adopt a Pembroke and am willing to deal with the consequences.
