Who is this dog for?

 Marilyn and Justin

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 Me and my husband have been researching on the breed for over a year. We want to rescue/adopt to support these rescue organizations instead of buying from breeders who we don't trust. What we love about Welsh Corgis is how they love to cuddle in bed yet are very outgoing. The extent of our experiences with the breed is from playing with our friends' dogs.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 The fact that they are outgoing and adventurous, we would love to take her/him on sprints and hikes with us in addition to being in the sun in our fenced backyard. We have a lot of free time so we would love to give our attention to a new member of the family.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?
 Yes

Willing to house train?

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: 		I would not punish the Pembroke by putting the dog in a cage or hitting/yelling (especially if the mistake is found after-the-fact). Instead I would be patient and make sure I supervise him/her to watch for signs that indicates he/she needs to go potty, more activity, or stimulating toys.

Discipline:
 In the case of a dog nibbling at me, I would use a high pitched yelp to indicate that biting hurts others. I like to use positive reinforcement, so when the dog is exhibiting good behavioral I will give him/her a treat.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Our Pembroke will spend some time in our home with me and my husband with access to the fenced backyard at any time when not on a morning, afternoon, or evening walk. Our Pembroke will be at the local dog beach or dog park at least once a week, whenever we have the opportunity to take him/her.

People at home during the day?
 Yes, my husband is self-employed and he is home during the day.

Where would dog eat?
 Our adopted corgi will either have his/her food bowl in the kitchen with our other pets unless the corgi is uncomfortable sharing the space with our other pets. In that case, our adopted corgi will eat anywhere else we can supervise such as the living room.

Where would dog sleep:
 Our corgi will have the option to sleeping in his/her own bed in any room she/he is comfortable in or in our bed (where our pets sometimes sleep).

Play & exercise:
 Our adopted corgi will always have opportunities to play and exercise because we have a fenced backyard and someone there during the whole day. I will walk/exercise the corgi in the morning before work and my husband will take the corgi for the afternoon walk. We will most likely go together for the evening walk. I will provide stimulating toys and during the weekends we will visit dog parks/beach.

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?
 Yes, I believe there is always a solution when adopting a forever pet. That is why we socialized our cats from a young age. Our parents (living in the same building) also visits regularly with their small maltese mix dog, I am willing to make the adjustment as easy as possible for the corgi if that means having the family dog around more often.
