Who is this dog for?

 This dog would be for Sarah and I to have a friend and companion to live with, in a beautiful Corgi that is in need of a loving home

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have always been interested in dogs and dog breeds that are intelligent, sociable, and affectionate. I have gravitated towards the Pembroke Welsh Corgi because of a love for their incredibly expressive faces and personalities. I have noticed this across the board, from interactions with strangers and friends who own corgis and Corgi-focused online posts and pages. I have done some research and I know that they are herders which entails a dog that is high activity and vocal, due to the breeding, but also attributes their mental acuity.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I would love to spend a lot of time with a Pembroke walking around Chicago and exploring new neighborhoods and parks that are safe and friendly to dogs. I would appreciate a dog that is comfortable being around the house and relaxing, in addition to playing and learning skills. What's most important to me is that my Pembroke and I bond as emotional companions and adapt our lifestyles to each others needs.

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: 		Especially with a new pet and a new home I expect there will be some mistakes. I hope that I would handle mistakes with firmness and proportionality, while always showing love. Additionally I am a believer in positive reinforcement for good behavior, especially when righting past mistakes! Also there will be room for adapting our home to be as dog-fitted as possible to ameliorate unnecessary "mistakes".

Discipline:
 This is an area that I am definitely open to learning more. I don't have experience caring for dogs, so I would look to suggestions from friends that are dog-owners as well as direct feedback from the Lakeshore Corgi Rescue and veterinarians and trainers that we might works with.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Most of the time would be spent indoors in the home. Our current apartment is nice and hospitable, though we can foresee moving in the next ~3-5 years somewhere larger. I would expect to have all the interior doors open throughout the day, depending on the sound needs of the activities of my job. Though the office front/room is the only door I would consider closing throughout the day.
