Who is this dog for?

 The Pembroke is for applicants 1 and 2.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We have considered the immense responsibility of dog ownership and the type of dog that would be the best fit for our family. The Pembroke's intelligence, loyalty and energy- yet compact size- make it the perfect fit for us. We have researched the breed and its specific needs including the grooming and brushing needs of a Pembroke during shedding season, the activity and exercise needs of the breed, and understand the importance of spine health for a Pembroke. We live in a single story home, but we are willing to provide steps or ramps if needed to accommodate our Pembroke.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We would like our Pembroke to be apart of our lives as much as possible. We enjoy being active and outdoors. We would take our Pembroke on walks and to the park. We would like to take our Pembroke to the lake in summer months and with us to visit friends and family. We also enjoy hiking and would love for our Pembroke to hike with us. That being said, we understand that every dog is an individual and we would accommodate activities to our particular dog's energy levels and socialization needs.

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?

 No

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: 		Mistakes are going to happen, especially if our corgi has an energetic and playful personality. We expect this. Mistakes will always be handled with patience. We would provide positive and reward based discipline to address a mistake. If a mistake continues, we would consider any health concerns that could contribute to this and we would consult with our vet. We would attend training classes with our corgi if needed.

Discipline:
 We would focus on positive and reward based discipline and redirection as methods of discipline. We understand that it is important to provide discipline immediately after a poor decision or bad behavior is observed to ensure our dog understands what they did wrong. This requires a level of attentiveness, consistency, and patience to help our dog understand the boundaries of the household and the boundaries of safe play. We would also be willing to attend training classes with our corgi if needed.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Our Pembroke would spend most of his or her time at our home.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 We are both home during the day on Saturday and Sunday. One of us is usually home during the day on Friday. Monday-Thursday, our Pembroke would be home alone until 4:30 PM. We are open to the idea of taking our Pembroke to a daycare during the week for play and socialization.

Where would dog eat?
 We would like to consult with our adopted corgi's foster family, if possible, about our corgi's preferred mealtime routine so that we are able to implement this routine in our home. Otherwise, we would find a quiet space in our kitchen or living area for our corgi to eat.

Where would dog sleep:
 We would also like to consult with our adopted corgi's foster family about our corgi's preferred sleep routine so that we are able to implement this routine in our home. Otherwise, we would do our best to provide the type of sleep environment our corgi prefers best. Our corgi would have his or her own dog bed that they could choose to sleep on. If our corgi is crate trained and prefers the security of being crated at night, we could accommodate this as well.

Play & exercise:
 Monday-Thursday our corgi would be provided an hour of exercise by walking on a leash around our neighborhood or playing in our yard area. If our corgi likes to socialize, we would take our corgi to the enclosed dog park in our neighborhood to play (there are separate enclosures for large and small dogs at our local dog park). On Fridays and the weekends we may take our corgi for leashed walks or hikes at local parks and metro parks and, in the summer, spend time playing by the lake.

Current pets dog friendly?

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?
 At this time, our Pembroke would be our only pet. We are not sure if we will add any pets in the future, but if we did, we would ensure that any new pet would get along with our Pembroke before taking on the responsibility and commitment of another pet. Our Pembroke would come first.

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?
