Who is this dog for?

 Myself

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I grew up with two dogs, so now that I am living on my own, I would like to have the companionship of owning another one. Some things that I love about Corgis are the way they look, their intelligence, and their loyalty. Over the past two years, I have done a bunch of research on the breed and spoken to two breeders. I have also looked into different ways of training the dog and how training a corgi can vary from other breeds. Even though I have talked to breeders, I would prefer to rescue so that I can give one a forever home.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I would love to walk around town with my corgi, try and play fetch, go for hikes, and even see if I can teach it a trick or two.

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

Vet contact info:
 {If yes, please provide contact information including the vet’s name, clinic name, street address, city, state, zip, and phone. Also include the website if there is one.:52}

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		From the research that I have done, I would use positive reinforcement. To do so, I would reward the behavior that I want to see with treats or food (but also be careful to not overfeed the dog).

Discipline:
 If they're ripping at fabric or something they shouldn't be, I would pick them up and move them away until they learn that they are not supposed to do that. One thing I would not do is hit the dog, I don't believe that that would help in any way. Sometimes a time out might be in order for the dog to give them time to calm down if they're riled up.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 During the work day, the Pembroke would stay in my apartment. There is plenty of floor space, however I think it would be good to make sure they are crate trained first, after that, they could stay in a fenced off area of my apartment.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 No, however I live a 10 minute walk from work so I can easily stop at home on my lunch breaks. I also have the option to work from home as well.

Where would dog eat?
 I would provide a food and water dish in the kitchen of my apartment on the ground. I would also like to keep the bag/container of food and anything else the corgi might try to eat off of the floor as I have read that corgis will not hold back on eating everything in sight.

Where would dog sleep:
 If they are not crate trained immediately, I would first like to have them sleep in a crate until they learn that. After that, I have room in my bedroom for a dog bed where my corgi could sleep.

Play & exercise:
 I would try to take them for a walk everyday. If I have to miss a day due to weather, time, or whatever, I would play with the corgi using toys in my home.
