Other preferences:
 Our Sheltie passed away earlier this month and he would have been 13 on 8/31. I swore I would not get another dog because I don't want to suffer this hurt ever again, but my heart feels incomplete. Bucky can't be replaced so I was looking for a different breed and my son thinks I would love a Corgi. He is about to start college at MSOE this fall so he will only be here occasionally. One of his good friends has a Corgi and he says it is his favorite dog other than our dog Bucky.

Who is this dog for?

 For me!! My heart feels a void from losing our dog we raised since 6 weeks old and I am ready to love and care for another furry family member!

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have researched them. My son loves his friend's Corgi. I think they are adorable and I would love to snuggle with one 🙂 I love intelligent dogs and I am accustomed to a herder so I am respectful of that, not annoyed like some people are. I love the ones that look tan and white the most (probably because my Bucky was white with tan, not the normal tri-color Sheltie most people are familiar with) but I am of course open to any color!

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 He or she would be part of the family and I would want him or her around whenever possible. If we are outside having a barbecue with friends or family, they will be there. We take them on vacation to pet-friendly hotels and resorts. We take them on walks and to parks where it is allowed. I would NEVER leave a dog in a car though, I leave them at home to grocery shop and run errands unless the weather is perfect and I have somebody with me who will be with them in the car.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

 Yes

Willing to house train?

Willing to do formal training? Yes

Do you have a veterinarian?

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		Clean it up and consider professional training if needed. Positive reinforcement when he or she shows good behavior.

Discipline:
 Tell him or her no, remove items that they are chewing or destroying, distraction, trying to keep them busy with attention and toys, and exercised to prevent restlessness and boredom.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In our house

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Not all the time. I have read that Corgis are OK with being alone during some workdays. Our dog Bucky was always happy to see us when we got home but never showed signs of distress if all of us were gone. My husband works 7:30 – 3:30 and is off all summer and has lots of days off. I work remotely often, have 5 weeks vacation and when I do go to the office I go in after 9 or 9:30 am and come home later so the day shouldn't be too long for the dog.

Where would dog eat?
 in our kitchen

Where would dog sleep:
 Wherever he or she feels most comfortable. Our sheltie had a bed but as he got older he liked to roam around and sleep at the foot of everyone's bed or in the hall if the doors were shut. He had his gallbladder removed due to liver/gallbladder disease almost 5 years ago and ever since that illness could not get up on a bed or couch.

Play & exercise:
 We loved to offer toys and play "fetch" and "tug of war" with our dog. I loved watching him enjoy his rawhide toys and bones. The first person up (usually my husband) took him out in the morning, I would walk him before leaving for work, and when the first person came home and again later, than right before bed. Some were short walks just to do his business, some are longer walks for exercise until he was much older and couldn't walk far without getting tired.

How will you exercise your dog?
 On leash

Fenced yard?

 No, I don’t have a fenced in yard.

Description of yard:

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?
 n/a and I am the one allergic to dogs but only a 2 on the scale and I take allergy meds daily because I am more allergic to pollens, dust and mold.

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.
