Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	This corgi would be for me. My 24 year old daughter lives with me now, but may well be gone in the next year.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	Corgis have been on my radar for many years and I have researched them both on line and with Corgi owners. During my time with them, I learned of their keen intelligence, their high interactive behavior and energy. When my dog Woody died, I was looking into a puppy or rescue, but when Layla needed rescuing from a friend, I took her in as our new second dog with great results. Now that Cleo has died, I would like to return to my Corgi quest.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	I would leash walk the dog every day and allow plenty of time in my fenced back yard. Now that I am retired, I would also explore the possibility of agility training with him/her, as I am aware of the Corgi's intelligence and activity 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?	Yes
Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	If by mistake, you mean eliminate in the house, I would immediately take him/her outside. I'd also make a point of praising whenever the dog eliminated outdoors and/or signaled that he wanted to go out. If you mean destructive behavior, I'd say a firm "no" and take away the object.
Discipline:	Positive reinforcement
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	Most of time in the house, which is a split level. A good portion of the time in the fenced back yard. Frequent trips to the many dog parks of Madison, one of which is only two blocks away from my house.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	Yes. I am here most of the day, as is my daughter.
Where would dog eat?	Probably in my study, with door closed. I feed Layla in the bathroom, with closed door. I've always had two dogs, and I find separating them at feeding time is the wisest course of action
Where would dog sleep:	I have several dog beds in different rooms in my house. Layla sleeps either in my room in a bed (sometimes at foot of bed) or in living room on sofa pillow. We'd see where the Corgi would be best situated. I may consider a crate as well, depending on the dog. I trained both Woody and Cleo (both rescue dogs) to crates, and they often happily stayed in them when I left the house.
Play & exercise:	Layla is a very playful dog who enjoys "chase" games with other dogs in the yard, dog parks and in the house. He/she will have daily opportunities for both play and exercise. As mentioned above, I will also consider agility training. I would love to play "fetch" and frisbee with my Corgi; Layla is indifferent to these games.
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.
Willing to use a crate?	Wooden 6 foot+ fence on two sides; chain link 5' in back.

Current pets:
Current pets dog friendly?	Yes, all of our current pets are friendly toward dogs.
Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?	Absolutely. The Corgi would be my fourth rescue dog. I make a commitment to dogs for life, and have had experience transitioning a new dog with the previous dog after the death of a companion. Our home is most complete with two happy dogs in residence.
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.
