Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Me, Caitlin. My parents have corgis and I adore them. Now I'm at a time in my life when it is possible for me to adopt and care for a dog, and I would like for that dog to be a rescued corgi.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	My parents have had three corgis. Their first two corgis, Pearl and Van died from old age (both 13) and a couple of years they adopted Harley, an 11 month old corgi girl. I lived them with my parents for a few years after college, and helped to care for Pearl and Van, including walks and feedings. In fact, Pearl and I were quite attached to one another. I love how intelligent and loyal but playful the breed is. I often went on hikes with Van and Pearl, and was always impressed, despite their little legs, they were always able to keep up. I especially enjoy how sassy Corgi girls are (I can relate 🙂 ) I understand that despite their short stature, Corgis need exercise and activities which for me would be twice daily walks around the neighborhood, and weekend hiking trips, as well as a yard where they can snuffle around and sun bathe, and bark at squirrels.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Hiking, walks, playing out in the yard.
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:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	I would never yell at or hit a corgi if it made a mistake. Depending on the mistake, I would correct the corgi's behavior when appropriate using a corrective phrase or body language.
Discipline:	Corrective phrase ( examples: "leave it" for eating random things off the ground as corgis are wont to do, "that will do" for excessive barking, or "let's go outside" for a catch all for inappropriate behavior.)
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	The corgi would have the full run of the house and would not be restricted to a specific room or floor of the house. For the occasions when I'm not working from home or have an extremely long workday I am looking into doggy daycare options in Indianapolis.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	No. Although I do have a flexible work schedule that would allow me to come home for lunch and work from home occasionally.
Where would dog eat?	In their crate. The crate will either be in the kitchen, living room, or dining room, depending on the size.
Where would dog sleep:	While the corgi would have its own designated bed, the corgi would be free to sleep wherever the corgi would choose.
Play & exercise:	Doggy dates with the friends with dogs, there are a couple of dog parks in Indianapolis. During the spring, summer, and fall, I like to go hiking and I would bring the dog along as a companion. Day-to-day, it would probably be twice daily walks, and then lots of toys and ball chasing in the yard. If the corgi is interested, I would be up for some agility training as well. I would just like the corgi to be happy and would find activities that matched with the corgi's personality.
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?	The majority of the fence is a 6 ft privacy spot. The access to the driveway and the garbage can is a shorter 4 inch picket fence. The gate door has a latch so that it closes securely.
Living arrangements:	Rent/lease home
Landlord info:
May we contact your landlord?	Yes, you may contact my landlord.
Lease allow dogs:	Yes, my lease permits dogs.
Landlord permission:	Yes, my landlord is fine with me owning a Pembroke
Restrictive covenants?	Not applicable
Breed/size restrictions?	No
Description of yard:	It's a fenced yard that is quite long that is large enough for to epxlore with a fenced vegetable garden, and a brick patio. There is a shed that has a door that securely latches (so that the corgi would not be able to get to any dangerous chemicals.) No swimming pool.
Household members:
Everyone in household agrees about adopting a corgi?	Yes, everyone agrees and wants to adopt a Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

Who will be responsible for the adopted corgi’s care?	CaitlinPollock
Willing to train children?	I do not have a child currently but if I do, yes my child would know how to humanely care for animals.
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, I am willing to use corrective phrases and obedience training to help the Pembroke get along with my cat. Any pets I might had in the future would have to be introduced to the Pembroke and both show no aggression to one another before considering adopting. It would have to be a good "fit."
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.
