Who is this dog for?

 This corgi would be for me (Emily). I live alone, and have no other pets.
We'd also stay at my parent's house in Davenport, IA (about an hour away from me), on average, about 1 weekend a month.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have loved Corgis for most of my 31 years. My family got our first corgi when she was a puppy and I was 10 years old, her name was Chloe and she was my heart.
I love that wily corgi personality, and the intelligence and stubbornness, the energy and playfulness, and how she'd curl up in the crook of your legs as you sleep at night… and then you awake to see you have 10% of the bed when she has somehow has 90%.
We got our second corgi when I was 17, her name was Devon. She was as equally as intelligent as Chloe and as active but because she had been in several different homes by the time we got her, at 2 years old, she was more standoffish and kept to herself. But with time and patience she folded herself into our family unit and accepted that pack lifestyle.
I loved those 2 very much and through them have a love for the breed.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I live near a walking path, that goes for miles, so we would go on several walks a day. And I am a 5 minute walk from a dog park where she could run around off leash if she'd like. I'd also take her to my parent's house where she'd have a yard to hang out in, and a whole house to explore.
I work in an office 4 days a week, so I would either take her to doggie daycare those days or there is a dog walking service here friends have used and highly recommend that I would use if she wanted to be more solo on my work days but still obviously needs some outside time, and affection and attention in the middle of the day.

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		I would try to make it clear to her that the action is wrong, in a firm commanding voice. I would reinforce good actions counter to the mistake with praise, pets and treats.

Discipline:
 Firm commanding, "No"s
Putting her in a room on her own if she is misbehaving towards guests.
NEVER hitting. (that should go without saying, but I'm still putting it down)

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 She would be in my apartment most of the time

Play & exercise:
 On work days for me, we'll go for a walk every morning and evening at least.
And on the weekend and some weekdays, trips to the dog park to play in a big space. And then any play and exercise she would get at daycare / with a dog walker.

 I would like to add more info to the question 4 questions back.

Current pets dog friendly?

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?
 Of course. When my family first got Devon (our second corgi) she got in a couple of minor scrapes (a scratch on the nose and ear and a lot of barking and teeth showing) with Chloe (our first corgi) to try and establish dominance over her. We disciplined Devon, separated them, and fed them in different rooms from then on, which solved the problem.

Lifetime commitment to Pembroke?

 Yes, I am willing to commit to this dog for the rest of its life.

Return to Lakeshore if unable to care for Pembroke?
 Yes, I will only surrender my adopted corgi to LPWCR if I am unable to care for it.

Understand no guarantees?

 Yes, I understand that there are no guarantees regarding the condition, health, behavior or personality of the Pembroke I adopt.

Carefully considered the pluses and minuses of adopting a pet?
 Yes, I have carefully thought out my decision to adopt a Pembroke and am willing to deal with the consequences.
