Who is this dog for?

 Lindsay Hayes and David Woolman

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I currently have a corgi and she is my best friend. I had done a lot of research before getting her and thought a corgi would perfectly match my lifestyle. Sometimes we snuggle all day and other days we have fun going for walks or visiting her dog "cousins". I have talked to other corgi owners and have realized that corgis are a very special breed. It seems like once you have had one corgi, you will always have one!

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I would do what I already do with my current corgi. She of course has to stay home sometimes, but I otherwise try to include her in everything I do. If I'm going to a dog friendly store like Lowe's, she comes with and loves the attention. She also comes with to visit my mom who has two small dogs and my sister who has a golden retriever. I live near a walking trail along the Wisconsin River so we go for walks multiple times a week. We also live near a dog park and have made many friends there.

My dog is also my child since I have none and don't plan on having any. Some people have accused her of being TOO spoiled, as if that were even possible.

I am aware that some rescue dogs need to be socialized carefully. My mom's cocker spaniel is a puppy mill mom rescue so I have experience with scared and untrusting dogs. I have also seen how awesome it is to watch them get more comfortable and learn what it's like to be loved!


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: 		From what I've learned in obedience classes, it is important to have an immediate reaction if your dog does something. If you come home to chewed up shoes, it is too late and your dog has already forgotten. I also know that yelling at a dog for having an accident is not helpful. The only time I usually scold my corgi is if she is actively doing something wrong, like playing too rough with smaller dogs. A firm "No" usually does the trick.

Discipline:
 I generally don't discipline my dog other than telling her no. I don't think dogs learn anything from being punished other than to be afraid. Usually if I say "no" or her name in a deeper voice, my corgi knows she is in trouble and instantly comes and kisses my face to say sorry.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Any new corgi would spend most of their time with my current corgi. I keep my entire house "dog proof" so she can roam freely. If we're not at home we would most likely be visiting my family together.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 My fiance Dave works very part time outside of the house and otherwise is a landlord and sells things online from home, so he spends a lot of time at the house. I very rarely have to worry about my corgi being left home alone for too long.

Where would dog eat?
 My current corgi eats Fromm highlander beef. I always go off of the recommendations of my vet and I have 2 vets in my family as well. Any new corgi would likely be switched to this as long as they didn't have any dietary restrictions. I get my food from a specialty store so I would be able to meet any dietary needs.

Where would dog sleep:
 This depends on where they are most comfortable. I know some dogs are crate trained and feel more secure and comfortable in their crate and I would be willing to accommodate this. My current corgi sleeps in our bed with us and we can always make room for one more!

Play & exercise:
 We go for walks more than half of the week. The dog park is also a favorite and we live very close. During the winter when it's too cold we make more trips to places like Lowe's which allows dogs and do laps around the store. My house also has a "loop" that my current corgi likes to do zoomies around.

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?

 Lindsay Hayes

Current pets dog friendly?

 Yes, all of our current pets are friendly toward dogs.

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?
 Yes. I got my current corgi when she was a puppy and she had to learn how to be gentle with my cat. Now they lay on the couch together and seem to actually enjoy each other's company. The corgi chases and plays with the cat but she has learned limits and how to be more gentle. Some things just come with time.

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.
