Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Our family. We have a son, who is 11 years old and he specifically wants a Corgi. We have no other dogs and our yard is fenced. Have lived in our home for 14 years. We'd prefer a rescue–had a previous Shepherd/Husky mix that was terrific.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	We have researched the breed and believe it would be ideal to our family. They are adorable, active, and friendly! We like it's history as we are bit of Anglophiles. Our son believes they are just the cutest dogs ever. We have come across a few and they all seem so friendly and nice. We did however want to wait until our son was large enough that he wouldn't be herded 🙂 ….even that trait is adorable….you just can't have small children in the house.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We enjoy walking, spending time in the backyard, and playing in the snow. We like to get out and about in the winter and the fact they like snow is a big bonus! We definitely envision the Corgi becoming part of the family! That also means that at night s/he will relax with us and sleep in our son's bedroom.
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?	Yes
Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	It is generally understood that one must immediately draw the animal's attention to the issue and then a firm "no no" and holding the animals face near the offending situation. However, we believe that positive reinforcement is a better approach and rewarding good behavior and positive phrases and petting.
Discipline:	Admonishment and holding his/her face near the offense. Not a long duration.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	When we are home, he/she would be with us whether inside or outside. When we are not home, perhaps a crate/kennel at first if behavior is unknown and then generally introducing non-crate.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	Currently, yes, but it is not expected to stay that way. Consulting from home–going to return to full-time, regular employment.
Where would dog eat?	Off the kitchen there is a space where food and water bowls can be kept on tile surface.
Where would dog sleep:	Son's room or our room.
Play & exercise:	A few times a day, to be determined. Can be taken on walks, let loose in our backyard. Indoors, we have a single story home with no basement so limited room.
How will you exercise your dog?	Both on leash and 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.

Description of yard:	We have a large backyard, lined with trees. It has one, small shed in the back corner and play equipment with a slide and swings. The playset was installed when son was about 3 but it is not in use now.
Household members:

Current pets:
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?	Remy was brought into our home to get our son used to caring for a small animal. It is understood that she has a short life span so is not expected to be with us for a long time as we transition to a dog. She has not been exposed to other animals so we don't know if she is 'friendly' but is in a cage.
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.
