Who is this dog for?

 Us! I have always dreamed of having a corgi, but I only like to rescue I do not go to breeders.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have always had such a big love for any and all dogs but I’ve always wanted a corgi. I think they are such a great size, and I of course think they are all just so adorable. I love the personality traits most have, the active, happy, energetic, and sassy most of them are.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I’d love a dog that would like doing anything! From long walks, hanging out on a brewery patio, kayaking, going to a cabin, etc. But it all depends on the dog and their comfort level.

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: 		I think the most important training is rewarding good behavior. At the previous rescue I volunteered at we would say “yes” and give the dog a small treat. However if the dog makes a mistake, I believe the best would be to just show the dog what he or she should do. So if the dog had an accident in the house, simply show the dog the accident, and then take the dog outside so he or she understands that’s where they should go.

Discipline:
 Really the only discipline I use is just telling the dog no and showing the dog what is right. I don’t believe in shock collars or hitting a dog. Depending on the level of training the dog may need and if he or she is having trouble listening and following what should be done I would want to seek a trainer for help.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Anywhere in the house he or she would like. Tyler works from home almost every day. If anything he may have a meeting to go to or something. That being said, the dog won’t have to be home alone very much at all. I am not a fan of putting a dog in a cage all day. If anything, maybe closing all the bedroom doors while we are gone and letting he or she have the whole living room and kitchen areas.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes as I stated, Tyler works from home 90% of the time. I work 5 minutes from home so if he is gone I am very flexible at work and can come home multiple times in a day to check on/ let him or her out. And I work 9-5 4-5 days a week.

Where would dog eat?
 I like to put a lot of research in the foods I buy. Purchasing dog food is scary, with all the recalls and horrible stuff that has happened. I like to stick with an all natural made in the USA food usually. However, all dogs are different so I would have to try a few different foods to make sure the dog liked the food.

Where would dog sleep:
 Anywhere he or she is comfortable. I will provide a nice dog bed, but the dog can also sleep in bed with us, or on the couch, or in the spare room. I do not like putting a dog in a crate at night.

Play & exercise:
 We already go for a walk every single day the two of us. So at the minimum, a walk every day. On the weekends we are active as well, so if the dog likes other dogs we can go somewhere for him or her to play with other dogs. We also visit my parents every few weekends or so and they have an acre fenced in to run around. If the dog likes water, go to the beach or kayak or a pool.

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

Fenced yard?

 No, I don’t have a fenced in yard.

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

Willing to use a crate?

Description of yard:

 We are in an apartment at the moment that does not allow dogs in our building. However, we are beginning to start the process of moving out in July. We are looking into buying a house. If we do not buy a house, we are absolutely moving to a different apartment. We are only looking at apartments that allow dogs, and most we looked at have dog parks at the complex as well.

Everyone in household agrees about adopting a corgi?
 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?
 Holly Hilliker

Willing to train children?
 Yes absolutely. We do not have children right now but in the future, if we do, we will spend the time to make sure the child and dog get along.

Any allergies?

 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?

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?
 Yes I will do whatever it takes to make the transition comfortable. We do not have any current pets but if we decide to get another pet we will make sure to do whatever it takes to make them comfortable with eachother and make sure they meet and like eachother before going through with anything.

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.
