Who is this dog for?

 Oleta loves Corgis more. Bruce will get most of the feeding, walking, taking to vets.
Oleta gets brushing, talking to, some playing with.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 Good experiences with the three we had. (fyi, adopted as puppies, Lynn Brooks of Wisconsin Rapids, WI, beeder.)
Like the smarts, smiles, friendliness.
We researched the breed before our first (1987). Read two books on the breed. Reading more recently on internet.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Long and short walks, play (mostly indoors). Talking to (our first tried to imitate our English; the only word that stuck was "aooo", meaning, "Take me outside").
Training as needed.

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: 		Varies by type of mistake. Usually starts with a firm NO. (Not screamed.) Maybe make a point of righting the thing that was knocked over, or cleaning the mess. In some cases, pick the dog up and move away.
Once the mistake is over and effects taken care of, make sure the dog gets hug or other loving.
Some things, like a dog takes carrots out of a grocery bag and eats them, you just have to let nature take its course. Don't panic.

Discipline:
 firm No, crating, keeping away from situation where an active dog is not wanted (eg, a yoga class over internet). Pulling back from an animal which is not comfortable with the interaction.
In special cases a gentle swat on muzzle or leg might point out the issue.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In house. Exactly where will depend on how things are going. Free-range/ in a big cage/fenced in one room/in a bathroom if bad diarrhea.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Except for 9-12 Sunday morning, there is someone around almost all the time.
Bruce is working from home still; that might last until 12/31 retirement.

Where would dog eat?
 The current dogs eat in the dining room (not at the table). I hope relationships work smoothly that new corgi can have a food bowl in her/his own corner. If there are startup issues, we can feed corg in a cage or the kitchen with door to dining room closed.

Where would dog sleep:
 Partly the dog's preference. There is a dog bed and a folded bedspread on floor of first floor. Our previous corgies spent most nights on our bed. We will have to be careful to prevent jumping down.

Play & exercise:
 The first floor is fairly big, with a circle path. We have a few toys for fetch or carry off. We hope the active jackabee (jack russel/beagle) and the corgi will find games they like. (The chiwienie (Chihuahua /dachshund) is a couch potato.

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.

Landlord info:

Restrictive covenants?
 Not applicable

Breed/size restrictions?
 No

Description of yard:

 Front yard is not huge. Substantial flower beds. If a dog wakes me up in early morning needing an out, it is plenty big enough for the dog to deal with the emergency.
The back yard has lots of plants of various sizes. It is not a practical place for dog walks.

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.

 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?
 walking/feeding-Bruce; grooming-Oleta.

Willing to train children?
 Two of our grandkids live with dogs already. We can work with the third when he visits.

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?

 No, some of our current pets are not friendly toward dogs

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?
 (Previous Q: the cats accept the dogs but are not buddies.
The rabbits want to stay away from dogs and are kept penned away from the carnivors.)
Yes. We will work with the issues that arise.

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.
