Who is this dog for?

 Myself and as a family dog.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I've loved Welsh Corgis for most of my teenage and adult life, starting with a cartoon characterization of one. I love how playful and energetic they can be, even with the stubby legs.

My brother, who shares a love for them as well, ended up getting one while we were roommates. I lived for a year with him and the dog until he got married, but I loved my time with the corgi at that time. It was cooped up in a small apartment in Los Angeles and was definitely not happy with the living arrangements. I have not done specific research into the breed beyond my experiences with the one I lived with.


Activities planned with Pembroke:
 My kids have been asking for a dog ever since we moved into our new house here in Wisconsin. The dog will be played with in all manners here at the house, being fetch, dress up, chasing around the backyard, whatever it will put up with from my loving children.

I will take it on my exercise routine, running around the neighborhood and local parks. There is a dog park near us that I'd like to try out as well.


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: 		Verbal "No!" and stopping whatever mistake was being made. If the mistake can be rectified (chew on the chew toy instead of my shoes), then move them to the place to make a good choice (give the chew toy) and reinforce with love and affection.

Discipline:
 Verbal discipline only, unless obedience classes tell me otherwise.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Inside the house, either in the family room where their bed would be, or wherever she wanted to go. The fenced in backyard would be open to them through a doggy door which we would install after adoption.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes. I work remote full time (even after Covid) and my wife is a stay at home mom. My kids are currently remote, but will be going back to school in January.

Where would dog eat?
 The mudroom where we have the cats food, but that could change to the laundry room if there were issues.

Where would dog sleep:
 Honestly, wherever they wanted to inside. They will have a dog bed in the main family room, but all rooms would be open to them, and I'm sure my kids would love to share a bed with them.

Play & exercise:
 They would go on my morning jog routine at the very least, but we would play in the backyard with the kids or take them to the dog park to run around without a leash.

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

Fenced yard?

 Yes, I have a fenced in yard.

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

Willing to use a crate?
 4.5 foot tall on one side, 6 foot tall on two other sides, completely fenced in. Vinyl covering, with a gate to go in and out on the 4.5 foot side.

Living arrangements:
 Own 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?

Lease allow dogs:

Landlord permission:

Restrictive covenants?
 Not applicable

Breed/size restrictions?
 No

Description of yard:

 Corner lot with a fenced in back yard, roughly 30ft by 90ft. Small paver patio outside of front door, landscaping by the house (which we will be removing), and the rest Kentucky bluegrass.

Household members:
 {Describe all the people who live in your home, include names, ages and interests. For example, Mary Smith, 29, Enjoys cooking, dog training, gardening and running.:75}

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?
 Adam Portman

Willing to train children?
 Owning a dog is important for learning responsibility at an early age. We have already started this path with our 2 cats, but they are less dependent than a dog would be. It's very important to know how to care for one, and will be a major part of our dog ownership.

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?

 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?
 Absolutely.

My two cats are from the same litter and were raised the first 8 weeks in a home with dogs. I'm fairly confident they would not have issues, but I have not specifically tested them.

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.
