Other preferences:
 We are primarily looking for a brother/buddy for our Rough Collie. He has been with us for a year and was rescued from a puppy mill. As we've come to know him better this year, we realized that he LOVES other dogs and seems almost depressed when he's in the house away from his dog friends in our neighborhood and at the dog park. He definitely needs a buddy at home, and we have room in our hearts and home for one more fur baby.

Who is this dog for?

 Our family, which consists of my husband of nearly 27 years, Rob, our daughters Emily (16) and Paige (11), our three-legged 20lb 12yr old rescued cat Buffy, our 5yr old rescued Rough Collie Duff, and our 1-1/2yr old guinea pig, Honey.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We love our Rough Collie but do not want another large dog. We did our research and Corgis and Collies appear to have many complimentary characteristics. We have also known people who have them and we enjoy their stories about the breed's personality. Also, they are just too cute with their little butt wiggles!

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We are very outdoorsy. We live on a dead-end with a nice sized yard and a wooded area next to us that we frequently explore. We also walk Duff multiple times daily in our neighborhood, frequent the local dog parks, and are WI State Park members where we walk Duff often, too. I also have a convertible and sometimes we'll just go for a ride with the top down, which he loves.

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 guess it depends on the mistake. If he had an accident in our home (which is likely in the beginning and also happened a couple times when Duff first came home with us) we would have to figure out what his cues were for needing to go outside that we missed. If he was chewing on furniture, we'd try to redirect

Discipline:
 Redirection, distraction, firm vocal commands, training.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In our home, wherever he is most comfortable.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Lately, yes – I have been working from home during the COVID19 outbreak and the girls have been attending school from home, too. Now that it is summer, they are home for at least the next three months, and I might be going back to my office at least a few days per week starting in July. Rob still goes to the office daily and is home by 3:30-ish most afternoons, and we're all home on the weekends.

Where would dog eat?
 Currently, we have the pet dishes in our home office, next to where I currently work from home. We are in the process of remodeling and eventually they will likely be relocated to our kitchen/dining area.

Where would dog sleep:
 Anywhere in our home where he is comfortable. We have many snuggly options!

Play & exercise:
 In addition to being buddy/brother to our dog-friendly and playful Rough Collie, he will have our yard to explore (on a leash or an anchored lead and with us also outside), our neighborhood, the woods next to our home, throughout our downtown/local beach, State Parks, and local dog parks.

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

Return to Lakeshore if unable to care for Pembroke?

 Yes, I have carefully thought out my decision to adopt a Pembroke and am willing to deal with the consequences.
