Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Brian Song
Why do you want a Pembroke?	From what I have seen, Pembroke Welsh Corgi can be described as a big dog in a small/medium dog's body. They are well known for their activity and energy, while being incredibly affectionate and playful. Thus, I believe that this breed will fit me well. Furthermore, I have played with my friend's Pembroke Welsh Corgi and immediately loved its outgoing nature. I have been reading online articles and watching videos to familiarize myself with the breed more. However, I am open to more serious reading if there are suggested research materials.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	If I were to adopt a Welsh Pembroke Corgi, I intend to keep him/her active. This includes playing the typical dog games (fetch, tug of war, etc.) and walks/hikes with my girlfriend. In addition, several of my friends have very outgoing small/medium size dogs, which should help the Pembroke Welsh Corgi socialize.
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:	It heavily depends on the situation. For example, jumping up on the couch (assuming it can't go on the couch) would merit a minor reprimand while trying to bite or growling at a person would have a serious response. A minor reprimand would consist of a firm (but not yelling) command, while a serious response may include a time out. Either way, the reprimand would be immediate and given once as multiple commands may confuse the Corgi.
Discipline:	First, I would enroll in a dog obedience class as I think the Corgi and I would both benefit from it. Furthermore, as a follow up to the previous question, I would make sure that if the Corgi fixes a mistake, either immediately after it makes it or the next occasion, I would make sure to give him/her a reward and praise.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	The Pembroke Welsh Corgi would spend most of his/her time around the house, most likely around the living room.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	This question is a little bit tricky to answer. I am currently in the midst of moving into a house with my girlfriend, which should be completed around April 2018. She is a web developer and works from home, so she will be home during the day.
Where would dog eat?	The adopted Corgi would eat in the living room and not near the kitchen, dining room, or in his/her crate. I would like to train the Corgi not to beg for scraps and avoid free feed.
Where would dog sleep:	My girlfriend already dictated a "no dog on bed" rule. The Corgi will be able to sleep in the bedroom, on his own bed or in his crate, whichever he/she seems to prefer.
Play & exercise:	The Corgi would have ample opportunity to play and exercise. After all, one of the major reasons I want a Corgi is because of their energy and playful nature. I plan to play with the Corgi nightly and exercise with ~3 times a week. Furthermore, as many of my friends own dogs, this will provide an extra opportunity for play.
How will you exercise your dog?	On leash
Fenced yard?	No, I don’t have a fenced in yard.

Description of yard:	I currently live in an apartment, but I am moving into a house once the lease is completed (April 2018). I am only considering houses that allow dogs, ideally have a fenced in yard and are relatively quite (dead end street would be perfect). Any other recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

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.
