Color preferred:
 Any color
Activity level:
 Couch Potato, Outgoing, Quiet, Playful

Other preferences:
 We have 2 boys. They are 8 and 12. My 8 year old wants a Corgi more than anything. This is a big deal because most dogs make him anxious. Especially big dogs. We need a Corgi that is very laid back. I'm not sure if this is possible based on what I have read about them. One that doesn't bark a lot and jump on you a lot. I know Corgis are known to be big barkers! So, I don't know if this is possible. We also have 2 Guinea pigs. Again, not sure if a Corgi can live with Guinea pigs.

Who is this dog for?

 Our family of 4.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We love their fun personalities! They are so personable and have an attitude about them we find appealing. Also they are adorable. They are also the perfect size dog for us. My 8 year old and I have read a lot about the breed. We don't know anyone who has one. Our last 2 dogs were Pugs.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We have a medium sized fenced in backyard. So we can play fetch or other fun games to keep them active. We also have a great neighborhood to take walks in. Our Corgi would also go visit family with us. So car rides. My 8 year old son really wants a Corgi to be his companion when he wants to go outside. Our Pugs were always inside dogs however. So, our dogs are only outside if we are or for maybe up to an hour or so alone if they are ejoying the backyard sunshine or something. Also we just want to have a personable fun dog to just hang out with us!

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: 		I would redirect the dog to what they should have done. We use positive reinforcement whenever our dog does the correct behavior.

Discipline:
 Our Pugs did not have many discipline issues. When they did we would tell them no and redirect them and show them what they should have done. We also praised them when they engaged in correct behavior.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Inside unless we are outside with them. I want a dog who has free roam of our house. However, I also need them to be crate trained. Wether we teach them that or they already know that behavior.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 We are gone during the day between about 7:15 and 2:45. Our dog would need to be in a crate during this time until we are comfortable giving the freedom in the house while we are gone. Right now I am working from home because of covid-19.

Where would dog eat?
 In our kitchen or 4 season room.

Where would dog sleep:
 This depends on what our Corgi is comfortable with. Again a crate may be necessary until we understand their behavior patterns. Ideally our dog will sleep in a dog bed where they chose. Whether that be in one of our bedrooms or in a different room.

Play & exercise:
 They will have plenty of opportunities because of our fenced in backyard. Also we will play with them in the house as well. Walks also.

How will you exercise your dog?
 Both on leash and restrained to the yard

Fenced yard?

 Yes, I have a fenced in yard.

Willing to pick up dog waste?
 Yes, I will clean up after my dog.

Willing to use a crate?
 It is a 5 foot tall wooden slat fence. They could not fit through the slats. However there are some higher spaces underneath we will have to block off.

 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?
 Nikki

Willing to train children?
 Yes. We had our last Pug, Ernie for 12 years. He passed away at the age of 13 almost exactly 2 years ago. We also have 2 guinea pigs that are about 4 years old. They are used to haveing furry family members.

 No one is allergic.

Current pets:

{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?
 This is one of our concerns. We need a dog that can coexist with our Guinea Pigs. They are in their habitat 90% of the time. They have a very large rabbit cage. We can't have a dog that won't get used to them being in the house. This is one of the reasons we want an older dog. So we can have a good idea in advance if they are ok with small animals. We understand there may be an adjustment period.

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.
