Who is this dog for?

 This Pembroke is for us. We look forward to expanding our family by having a dog in our lives!

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We want to adopt a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, because all of the dogs we have encountered of the breed are very sweet and have a fair amount of energy. We have done some research on the breed, and we find their temperament (smart, loyal yet sometimes stubborn, loves to be active) would be a good fit for us.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We look forward to going for walks and maybe even jogs with our Pembroke, and possibly easy hikes as well, depending on the dog we adopt. We look forward to playing catch and frisbee outside as well.

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: 		We would handle it patiently, especially when our Pembroke is still getting used to living with us. We're starting to dog-proof our apartment so there is less risk of our dog getting into our valuable items.

Discipline:
 My husband and I are first-time dog owners, and we plan to lean heavily on a trainer for a while so we can be the best pet parents possible for our dog. We want to be both gentle and firm with our dog. We will use a mix of voice commands, moving them away from potential issues, and any other methods recommended by our trainer.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Our Pembroke would spend most of their time in our apartment. We have a two-bedroom apartment in Chicago.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 During this pandemic, I now work from home full-time and rarely leave the house except for groceries and other essential services. Once Illinois reopens more, I plan to work from home one or two days a week going forward. My husband is considered an essential worker, so he works from home only one day a week. One of us is almost always home on weekends.

Where would dog eat?
 Our adopted corgi would eat in our dining room, and we would set out a little station where they can eat/drink water near the table. This will be similar in the event we travel.

Where would dog sleep:
 Our adopted corgi would sleep in a dog bed either in our bedroom or living room, which is two rooms over in our apartment. This will be similar in the event we travel.

Play & exercise:
 We have a good sized yard with a grassy area that measures about 10 feet by 10 feet, and that will be our main place where our corgi will play. We are also less than a mile away from two city parks, one of which has a dog-friendly area. Depending on our dog's individual needs, we plan to take them out for two to three walks a day, as well as time to play in our yard or a nearby park.

How will you exercise your dog?
 Restrained to the yard

Fenced yard?

 Yes, I have a fenced in yard.

Willing to pick up dog waste?
 Yes, I will clean up after my dog.

Willing to use a crate?
 Our fence is about 7 feet high. Two sides of our fence are of metal wire and we have a few flower beds between the yard and this wire. The other two sides of our fence are wood, and we have plants and herbs growing between our yard and the fence.
