Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	We would love to add a Pembroke to our family for the two of us. We are looking for a companion to go on walks, cuddle, plat with and love on, but also to keep Katie company while Mitch is away for work.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	We love that they are known as being playful and friendly dogs, as we like to be outdoors a lot. We would love to be able to take our dog anywhere with us, and have people be able to come up to them and pet them without having to worry! This is something that we see possible with a pembroke welsh corgi. We also like that they are protective, as it would often be home with Katie while Mitch is away for work. Feeling that there is a protector in the house is important. Their size is also attractive. Living in an apartment makes a dog on the smaller size more attractive, though this is not the main reason we are looking for a pembroke welsh corgi.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We love to be outdoors, so it would definitely get a lot of activity! We enjoy hiking and taking walks, as well as spending time outside relaxing. It would go most places where allowed with us, including stores when allowed! It would definitely make it to the dog park, as being non-dog aggressive is very very important for us. We would like to be able to take it to relatives houses with us on vacations and holidays, so we want it to be able to spend time around other dogs without major issues.
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

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	We would give them proper discipline as needed, ensuring that they knew what they did was wrong but not being
Discipline:	Mainly redirection of behavior; in the case of chewing- giving them a bone or something the chew on, in the case of accidents in the house- show them to go outside and train to use bathroom outside. When a dangerous undesirable behavior occurs, such as nipping someone, we would give a quick tap on the nose and remove them from the situation, essentially a time out. We feel that it is important to let them know when they do something wrong, but being aggressive or harmful towards them is unacceptable.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	With one of us, either in the house or outside. We want them to be with us at all times… like a child.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	At some point throughout the day someone is home. Mitch has a more consistent schedule of being gone, but working at TJ Maxx gives me a more flexible schedule.

Where would dog sleep:	On its bed in our bedroom or living room, or in our bed with us.
Play & exercise:	We will take them on walks, play fetch outside, take them to the dog park, and possibly take them to doggy day care throughout the week. They would at least get 2 walks a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, along with playing outside in the evening.
