Other preferences:
We usually have a very quiet home. However, with any holiday or family birthdays, we are very likely to have a party of 15-22 people of all ages visit. All are dog lovers! But we would like to have a corgi that is not shy of gatherings and lots of love from strangers of all ages. (IF needed, however, we could separate the dog into a spare room away from the large gathering of strangers.) Nonetheless, it would just be ideal for it to get along with strangers. Guinness believes everyone coming to our house came just to play ball with him~!!!! He brings a ball to all~! And, most everyone is happy to play with him. 🙂

Who is this dog for?

Retired husband and wife.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
We've owned a neutered male PWC [3 out of 4 red and white–one tri ] since 1988. As a waitress, some very kind customers invited me and my husband and our 10 year old son to their house to see some adorable PWC puppies. We feel instantly in LOVE. Their puppies were sold, but they were raising puppies for a breeder who was a very honorable veterinarian. She sold us Adam. He was a beautiful red and white male PWC puppy. His sisters were champions. We had Adam until he passed at 13 1/2 years old. Our second R&W PWC was a 1 1/2 year old rescue that lived to 10. Our 3rd was a shelter Tri- PWC (mix?) that was returned to the shelter after one year due to his need for more attention than could be given at the time that I returned to work. He would have been a wonderful agility dog who loved kids! Our recent R&W rescue was from a woman who recued PWC's from near Indianapolis, IN. She sold us a perfect match for our home~! Guinness was 3 years old when we got him and is now near 13 but is very ill and on meds for a tumor in his throat. He also has a very large tumor on his chest. It is so sad to think he probably will not be with us much longer. We love him with all our hearts~! And, will be very much open to loving another PWC that needs a home…..

Activities planned with Pembroke:
We play a lot of ball. We have a large grassy back yard and carpet the color of a R&W corgi hair that is made to take the wear and tear of a dog. (We have an auto robot rug sweeper and a super dog hair removing sweeper.) We play ball or squeaky toy games often~! We also take walks in the neighborhood and when weather permits love to hike the nearby parks. Short car rides are often (with weather conditions always in consideration if ever left in car!) Because we are retired almost all of our time will be spent with it~!!!! We are not far travelers….But have a son whom lives near to help for any reasons.

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:
Say, "No." And, depend on what it did wrong. Take it outside if it goes to the bathroom inside. And, reward it when it goes outside. Often take it out…esp. just after a meal or long drink~! If it chews, take it away from what it is chewing and give it something it CAN chew…as a rawhide. We will spend a lot of time with it since we are retired so hope we can catch mistakes early and guide it in the right direction of behavior as quickly as possible. Treats and praise will reward good behavior.

Discipline:
A keen eye to watch for wrong behavior and show it what it CAN do instead with rewards of kindness, praise, treats and better behavior such as playing ball or chewing a rawhide instead of chewing something it shouldn't or doing something it shouldn't.


Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
Beside us. Only to go outside to go to the bathroom, play or enjoy the day, but NEVER to stay….ESP. when too hot! or cold…..

House dog or outside dog?

House dog

People at home during the day?
Yes. 🙂 We are both retired.

Where would dog eat?
In the dining room we have a Corgi pictured rug that holds the bowls for water and food.

Where would dog sleep:
While it gets used to our house, in a kennel; but, anywhere it wants after we feel it can be trusted to be free during the night while we sleep. We have a special recliner that is for the dog. Most love to sleep in the bathroom where it is quiet, dark, and cool. Or by the air register in the dining room. Another favorite is by the front door's window. Usually they nap near us as we watch TV or are on the computer. Basicly, we have no limits. Our first slept under the bed and was between my feet as quickly as I put them to the floor. They are free.

Play & exercise:
Every day we will spend time playing with them or giving them walks. Ours bring their toys to us and we play for as long as they want or we have time — which is lots.

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

Fenced yard?

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?
We shall have only one dog at a time….. Max is my 90 year old Mother's dog. Max gets along fine with most dogs. Nonetheless, we are careful to watch him. Max does not have to come to our house, but my Mother likes to take him every where she goes most of the time. Max visits often and gets along with Guinness usually fine. Other members of the family have larger dogs that do not visit our house. We have a sun room with a doggie door that can be used to separate the dogs if needed. The sun room is separated by a sliding glass door to keep an eye on the one in the sun room. Usually Max loves to be held. We welcome him.

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.
