Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Myself
Why do you want a Pembroke?	Through my research, it seems as though a corgi would be a great breed for my current situation. A small to medium sized dog is appropriate for my living situation and a playful dog will also be appropriate for someone of my age.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	With living so close to the Canal in Indianapolis, long walks would be very possible several days of the week. It is also hopeful that I can be approved for a house with a backyard so a lot of play time would happen there 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?	No
Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	The best way that I know to handle a dog’s mistake is to show them their mistake very recently after they have done it and tell them “No” in a firm voice. I don’t think that it is ever okay to hit an animal. It is also important to reward the dog if they do something correctly with a treat or even just vocal encouragement and some affection.
Discipline:	As stated above, I believe that a firm “No” usually works when trying to dicipline a dog. However, if I was to see that this wasn’t working, obedience classes would be the next step.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	The dog would spend some of its time alone at home (either a shared house or a single apartment), however, my class schedule is very flexible so it would also spend a lot of time with me at home as well.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	Depending on if I decide to live alone or with others, the dog would have someone home with it for the majority of the day.
Where would dog eat?	After deciding on my living situation, I would decide on an appropriate place for the dog’s food and crate to go.
Where would dog sleep:	Depending on what the dog’s personality, it could either sleep in its crate, in a dog bed on the floor, or even in bed with me.
Play & exercise:	With living in such a large area, there are many parks and trails near me for the dog to play in and for them to get exercise.
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.
Willing to use a crate?
Living arrangements:	Renting a home/apartment
Landlord info:
May we contact your landlord?
Lease allow dogs:
Landlord permission:
Restrictive covenants?	Not applicable
Breed/size restrictions?	Yes
Description of yard:	If I do decide to rent a home next year, it will not have a swimming pool.
Household members:
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?	Lindsay Brown
Willing to train children?	Assuming I get a younger Corgi, it is expected that I would still have them by the time I decide to start a family. I would definitely teach my children from a young age how to properly treat an animal
Any allergies?	No one is allergic.
Current pets:
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, the owner of the cat recently introduced her cat to her dog at home and everything went well so a similar joint effort would happen with the corgi if needed.
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.
