Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Ourselves.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	We are looking for a dog for our apartment and have always loved seeing/learning about Corgis. Though we have had minimal interactions with this type of breed, the primary applicant has had other dogs play with Corgis at his local dog park. I think the best part about the Pembroke Welsh Corgi breed is how active and friendly they can be. As young adults, we are looking for a dog to not only fit our lifestyles but our personalities by being sociable with other people or dogs. Since committing to finding a Corgi for our home, we have done extensive research that ranges from the types of food, activity levels, health issues, and daily care to ensure a long healthy life.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We would love to go for walks, runs, and play around in the grassy areas just outside of our apartments. Since both of us are recently out of college and retiring from playing NCAA sports, we would like to have a companion to join us on different adventures.
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

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	As a former owner of multiple dogs, we would handle this situation by not showing no reinforcement towards the dog such as not shouting, yelling, being physical, etc. Instead, we will give them more positive reinforcements when they do a desirable behavior in the appropriate place such as peeing outside, chewing on their toys, and obeying commands when given. When they do this behavior, we will provide them with praise and a treat to reinforce this positive behavior.
Discipline:	We will reinforce the positive behaviors and not reinforce negative behaviors. Since the Corgi might not understand the problem with the undesirable behavior, we may need to make more accommodations around the Corgi such as taking them out more often, keeping a closer eye on what they are doing, and making sure they chew on their toys instead of other objects. We want to make sure they are not living in fear due to intimidation, but showing them, they get treats or loving affections when they play with their toys or go to the bathroom.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	The Pembroke would spend most of their day in the apartment which both of us live in every day. We would also take them outside for a walk, to use the bathroom, car rides, or to the dog park during these days.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	Yes. The primary applicant is a full-time student but is home most days during the week and weekend. Both applicants come home around 6 pm from work or school allowing us to take care of the Corgi and attend to their needs.
Where would dog eat?	The Corgi would eat in the kitchen area on the hardwood floors in case of spillage from water or food during eating time.
Where would dog sleep:	They would either sleep in the bed or bedside of the applicants. The door will also be left open in case the Corgi becomes too hot so they can lay on the tile or hardwood floor of the bathroom.
Play & exercise:	Since we are both young adults, we would regularly take them on walks, runs, or play with them in the large grassy areas all around our apartment complex. We would also love to visit the dog park which is a block away so it can socialize and have the freedom to run around without being on a leash. We would also give them plenty of dog toys such as balls or chew toys to play with inside the apartment or outside.
