Who is this dog for?

 For me 🙂 Here's a little about myself. Since the pandemic, I work from home. Prior to that, I worked typical office hours. I've thought about adopting a Corgi for over a year and now actively looking to rescue one. My house has a fenced front and back yard for him/her to play. I have not had a dog for about 10 years, but I often watch my dog nephew, Sy, and my friend's dogs, Zeus and Ninja. I would be happy to pass along their information for referral purposes. I look forward to working with your organization and finding a match.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I've researched a few breeds and after my research, Corgis temperament and personality match what I want in my dog. They're happy, smart, playful, and loyal dogs. I also prefer breeds in the herding category, and Corgis size and weight are also a great fit for city living. Also, corgis are friendly, which fits into my lifestyle of entertaining.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I would take my dog on walks, hikes, and play fetch and "tug-of-war". Depending on the level of obedience training, I would also take my dog to training lessons and possibly agility classes.

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: 		It would depend on the mistake. Being in a new environment is an adjustment, so I would have a lot of patience. If my dog had an accident, I would immediately walk my dog over and say no. And if it continued, I would think about adding more walks to our routine. If it got into some mischief, I would take a look to see how I can prevent my dog from getting into more mischief.

Discipline:
 I believe in positive reinforcement.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Most of his time would be spent at home with me, since I am working from home. Socializing my dog is important, so I plan on doggy care once or twice a week.

Where would dog sleep:

Play & exercise:
 I go on regular walks, and looking for my dog to be my walking companion. Also, going to doggie daycare is a great way to get his energy out.

 Yes, I have carefully thought out my decision to adopt a Pembroke and am willing to deal with the consequences.
