Who is this dog for?

 I would be adopting for myself and my daughter.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I've been thinking of rescuing for well over a year now, I've finally gotten to a point where I feel I'm ready and comfortable with my finances and living space to adopt a dog. Corgi's are one of my favorite breeds, I've always found their cute faces and stubby legs adorable but I've read up on the website about them and watched informational videos on Youtube. They're a great family breed, they get along well with children and other pets. They're very receptive to training techniques and a very smart breed of dog, which I think is important as this is my very first dog, so training will be new to me but I'm willing to put in the time and effort.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 As I've learned, Corgi's are very intelligent and active, I've heard they're called "a big dog in a small package". I would like to get into training classes with my Corgi, if able take him/her to the dog park and get puzzle toys for them to play with.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?

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 be stern with him/her, try to help them understand what they did wrong. Give rewards and positive encouragement for good behavior.

Discipline:
 I hope that attending training classes together with my dog, using positive reinforcement using praise and treats, and being consistent.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 At home, I live in an apartment building.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 There is no one home during the day, I have 2 cats. But I also live 10 minutes from my job, I would be able to run home midday.

Where would dog eat?
 I would have their bowl set up in the kitchen, and monitor their meals so my cats don't get into their food.

Where would dog sleep:
 Either in bed with me or my daughter, and I would also like to crate train for if some reason they couldn't sleep in the bed with us.

Play & exercise:
 Daily exercise is the goal, with multiple walks a day and once we (me and dog) are comfortable enough after some training I would plan dog park play time at least 3 times a week.

How will you exercise your dog?
 On leash

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?

Living arrangements:
 Rent/lease home

Landlord info:
 {If you rent/lease your home, please list the name, telephone number and email address of your landlord. State “Not Applicable” if you own your own home.:67}

May we contact your landlord?
 Yes, you may contact my landlord.

Lease allow dogs:
 Yes, my lease permits dogs.

Landlord permission:
 Yes, my landlord is fine with me owning a Pembroke

 Not applicable

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?
 Brittany Alba

Willing to train children?
 Yes, although I will be the primary caretaker for the dog, I believe it will help my daughter to learn even more responsibility. We do have 2 cats and she helps me with them, but they're very low maintenance babies. Having a dog is definitely a very different set of responsibilities that I will be teaching her.

 No one is allergic.

{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?
 My older cat has had experience with dogs before, although I've never owned one myself a friend of mine brought there's over often in the past. She took some time to warm up to him but eventually she was indifferent to him being there. My kitten has not had any experience with dogs, but I have watched a few informational videos on how to introduce a new dog to the home. I will set up separate rooms for the cats as "safe spaces" with baby gates and gradually over time (up to some months) get them used to the new scent and eventually introduce. If at some point there are issues I will start the process over.

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.
