Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	He/she is for a young loving couple who wants to extend their love to a new family member!
Why do you want a Pembroke?	We love the cute, friendly, and playful nature of the Pembroke. We have always dreamed of having one but are not comfortable purchasing one as we are very much advocates for adopting animals. We love how smart they are because it would make playtime even more enjoyable. Additionally, Priscilla works at a nursing home where the employees are encouraged to bring their dogs to work with them, as the residents absolutely love them. There are two Corgis who frequently come to work with staff and from what we have seen, they are the perfect size and have great personalities for playing with the residents. Corgis are very affectionate dogs who are happiest around people and we would be very affectionate owners who are happiest around our dog.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We plan on taking frequent trips to the nearby dog park, trying out different toys to keep it stimulated and happy, having it accompany Priscilla to work where it will be busy entertaining residents and staff, and cuddling on the couch after a long days work,

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	It depends on the mistake. If it’s a voiding issue, such as urinating/defecating somewhere it is not supposed to, then we will keep a closer watch in order to pick up cues and we will take it out more frequently. Most importantly, we will reward the dog when it does what it is supposed to so that it associates the event (i.e. voiding outside) with rewards.
Discipline:	We are firm believers of positive reinforcement, meaning we will reward good behavior to encourage our dog to keep doing so. We are not comfortable with physical punishment, including isolation, as they are a part of our family. Distraction objects/activities, such as clickers and commands (sit) have been successful for our past dogs growing up, so we will be attempting those.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	He/she would spend most of their time with Priscilla at her job, otherwise the dog will be at our home.
