Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	My kids have been researching dogs and breeds for over a year and have decided on a Pembroke. I told them that I will not get a dog unless it is a rescue and luckily I found your site. I have three kids ages 10, 12, and 16. I am a stay at home mom and we just moved to Iowa, so I have plenty of time to invest into taking care of a dog. (There is not much to do in Iowa, compared to Houston!) We would LOVE to be placed with a dog and can get one at any time. We are of course willing to drive to pick up.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	We have done research. We have read that they are good with families and and other pets such as cats. We know that they are very active, and so is our family. Here is the paper my 10 year old wrote on Corgi's- They are good with children and very playful. Corgis are also healthy dogs. They bark quite a bit. They love walks. You just need to walk them half an hour on the morning and night. They also rarely get dirty or make a mess. Corgis also get along well with cats. They live up to 12-14 years old. They are also helping dogs. They are also suppose to be easy to train. They are also sweat like cats. They can be a little aggressive when you put them in suits or costumes. 🙂 They eat whole grains and vegetables. They also like eating bones. They are super friendly with strangers, and they don't mind loud noises. They are super cute and once you get one you will love it. – Written by Madeline Turner.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We would walk it – A LOT! My son would like to play fetch with it, if they do that. We would like to spend time out doors with him or her. We love lazy animals too, so it would be great if he/she likes to cuddle sometimes. If our dog likes to travel in cars we would like to take him/her to parks with us. We have a cat, but are looking for a dog who would be an energetic, loving part of our family.

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	We would immediately take any dog to training classes so we would know how to appropriately deal with the dog.
Discipline:	We have never owned a dog. We have always had cats, so we will have a lot to learn. I do however have three kids and if I learned to handle them, I think I can educate myself on how to have a dog. 🙂 I am very aware that, especially initially a dog can be very high maintenance and we area all ready to take on that responsibility.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	Inside our home and outside when we are with him. We are outside all the time!!!!!

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	Yes, I am a stay at home mom and am currently writing a book. I do this at the house also, so someone is home most of the time.
Where would dog eat?	We have our cat's bowl in our kitchen. We would need to work out the best place for our corgi to eat. My guess would be on the opposite side of our kitchen from the cat's corner.
Where would dog sleep:	That would be up to the corgi! I am sure all the kids would love the dog to sleep in their rooms and honestly, so would I!!!
Play & exercise:	Because we are outside all the time, this should be no problem. We also plan on doing walks before school, after school, and after dinner. We already do some of these walks anyway, so now the walks will be more fun.
