Who is this dog for?

 Roberto and Gloria

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We want to adopt a corgi because our experience with our previous one was so wonderful. We adopted our corgi and had him for twelve years – he was the center of attention for our family! We were looking for a small/medium sized dog who was intelligent and active, and that was exactly our experience. In addition to that, we found the breed to be incredibly caring and each member of our family found a special bond with him. We find that our lifestyle is a great match for this breed; we are a household of adults (my husband and I with frequent visits from our adult children) and we enjoy a lot of outdoor activity.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I am a homemaker who values routine and outdoor activity. In addition to a regular walk 2-3 times a day in the neighborhood we enjoy going to the park on evenings and weekends. We would love to continue going to the dog park on a regular basis. We also enjoy quality time at home and would love a new addition to have "pack time" with in the evenings.

Something that we are also interested in doing is training she/he to be a service dog. This is something we've always wanted to do.


Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

 Yes

 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: 		We are almost certain it would not be. When we had our previous Pembroke he came to us at two years old after being in a puppy mill. He was malnourished, afraid, and aggressive. We found that with plenty of care and patience (training him, cleaning up after him, socializing him, activity, and positive reinforcement) he transformed into a healthy, loving dog. Our first course of action is always to consult our vet and other help. In the absolute worst case scenario in which we would not be able to tend to a new corgi, we would reach out to Lakeshore Rescue to help us.

Discipline:
 Our family believes that long walks and activity can go a long way. In addition to that, we practice positive reinforcement — we we introduce a new form of behavior we show affection and reward with treats.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 He or she would spend the majority of time with my husband and I in our home. We live in a four bedroom condo in a gated community with plenty of grassy areas and a lot of dog neighbors. We also live about five minutes from a hiking/running trail.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes, I am home full time and my husband is home in the afternoon or evenings (he has a 5 minute commute to work).

Where would dog eat?
 We placed our previous dog's food at the wall of the kitchen. He ate twice a day at 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. before all of us and some treats throughout he day – a bone or peanut butter cone. We would have a similar set up in the future since we found it to work well.

Where would dog sleep:
 In our bedroom. We like having the option of he or she sleeping in their own dog bed or with us in bed. There is plenty of room for everyone.

Play & exercise:
 At the very least, one long walk of 30-60 minutes depending on the weather and age of the corgi. My husband goes to a walking/running trail 5-6 days a week, and I enjoy going with him to walk and would naturally want to take our corgi. We also believe in just sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air, so common areas in our neighborhood or a dog park would be nice to just let the corgi sniff and explore.
