 I/we have been engaged with corgi rescue for almost 20 years, starting when we lived in Arkansas. We are on our fifth rescue corgi. We have rescued old corgis, corgi pups, corgis with terrible health problems, and healthy dogs.

We have usually had two corgis at a time. We lost our female corgi due to heart disease about a month ago, which was devastating. We have a remaining lovely male corgi, Henry, who is at least 10 (we don't know exactly because we don't know how old he was when we adopted him). Henry is calm and loving, and he and our female dog were great friends. He seems fine being by himself, but he was much more active when he had a companion. We would obviously need to see if Henry and a second dog got along, but I thought I would at least send in an application and get on your radar screen. We would also be willing to consider fostering. Before we moved to Michigan I was the president of the board of the Central Arkansas Rescue Effort for Animals.

We are fortunate in that Paul is retired, so our dogs are walked multiple times a day and get lots of exercise. We enjoy hiking with our dogs as well.

Who is this dog for?

 The two of us (Paul Ward and Laura Lamps, married couple). We do not have human children. We are 59 and 52.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 As above, we are on our sixth overall and fifth rescue corgi. We love the breed because they are intelligent, active, and have a lot of personality. We have lots of experience with the breed and love them dearly.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Walk, hike, swim if they liked water, play with toys, go to the park, and roll in the grass.

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: 		Never with physical discipline. We try to use calmly spoken firm commands such as "off," "no," etc., as well as training both in a class and in our home. If it's a mistake like chewing something off-limits, we redirect to an appropriate toy. If it's a bathroom mistake, we try to catch it quickly, say no, and take the dog outside.

Discipline:
 As above, never physical. We have occasionally used a can full of pennies to shake if we were trying to distract their attention to something else. We have used obedience class and in-home training we well. We have crate-trained younger dogs, but our older dogs we have been able to house-train without crates.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 My husband is retired and at home a lot of the time, so the dog would be with one or both of us (and our other corgi) at our home and yard. When both of us have to be gone for any length of time we hire dog walkers and/or sitters.
