Type of Dog Wanted
Ages interested in:	0 months – 1 year (we rarely get dogs in this age group), 1 year – 3 years, 3 years – 5 years	Gender preferred:	Either a Male or a Female	Color preferred:	Any color	Activity level:	Couch Potato, Outgoing, Quiet, Playful
Other preferences:	I live and work in a residence hall on Central Michigan University’s campus. I am looking for a pembroke that does not or will not exceed 25-30 pounds. This is the biggest size that I am allowed to have in my apartment. I am looking for a match (pembroke) that would be okay with seeing lots of people as each time I would take them outside we would pass by a lobby area or main hub that has lots of college age students. I wouldn’t be able to have a fenced in space outdoors, but the plan is to take long or short walks around campus. Also, to visit the multiple dog parks in the greater Mt. Pleasant area.

Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Myself – I live alone.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I have a friend that is in love with her Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I met her dog a few years back while I was finishing up graduate school and always told myself that one day I would get one of my own. My friend now volunteers for the Corgi Connection of Kansas and fosters corgis regularly. I wish that I lived closer (I moved back to Michigan) because she is constantly posting pictures of her corgis and the fun they are having together. This is the only real experience I have had with a Pembroke. I see the intellect these dogs have as they are quick witted. But, also the feel good, playful nature that they bring their owners.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	I would take them for walks and to the dog parks in town. I have the luxury of working and living in a location that has other people around constantly. I would bring my Pembroke to local events happening in town and on CMU’s campus. My Pembroke would meet lots of faculty, staff and students – would be loved by many.

Money for basic care?	Yes
Money for unforeseen medical expenses?	Yes

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	I honestly have never owned a dog before and my family did have any dogs while I was growing up. I would need assistance in this area and would reach out to friends/extended family to give me guidance. If you all believe that my Pembroke needs obedience classes then I would register them as it would mutually beneficial for us both. I am a pretty relaxed individual and would not fault the dog for making a mistake. They happen and we would be learning together to find our ebb and flow for what works.
Discipline:	I honestly haven’t ever had to discipline a dog. I have seen others do it, however I would need to research and ask others what the best methods would be for a Pembroke.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	In my apartment during the hours of 9am-5pm(M-F). I would be able to check on my Pembroke quite regularly as my office is located in the same complex as my apartment. (15 second walk) I would be able to check on my Pembroke every 2 hours (or less) and take them outside or for a walk (especially during my lunch hour). After 5pm, we would go outside or to an event happening on campus. They would be with me and go wherever I go.
