Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	A family of four- Renee and Ken, and two daughters- Nellie (5) and Rowan (2)
Why do you want a Pembroke?	Rescuing our corgi Zoey has been the most rewarding experience. We had another corgi named Gizmo whom we purchased through a breeder, but had to put him down four years ago. We have had corgis for over ten years and don't see how any other need can compare. We love their energy, their spunk, and their playful attitude. But we have also decided that we will only rescue dogs from now on. We don't want to purchase ever again. That's why we wanted to apply with your rescue.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We walk Zoey every day. She loves to play in our back yard with our girls in the snow and the sun. We absolutely love taking her to the park with us during warmer weather. The best part of our days are always the snuggles on the couch.

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	In our house, we start by redirecting Zoey. We try to stop the negative action and replace with a positive (if we catch her chewing on a child's toy, we try to redirect with one of her toys). We also encourage positive behavior with lots of praise when we see it.
Discipline:	The biggest thing we do is try to train for the expected behaviors. We also make sure that we are consistent with our commands. We will also separate Zoey from a situation if we don't think she can handle it so that she is not in a situation where she might make a poor choice.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	We let Zoey roam throughout the house. She is allowed on furniture, but does not share our bed. We do have a fenced in backyard where she enjoys running around and racing our neighbor dogs.
