Type of Dog Wanted
Ages interested in:	0 months – 1 year (we rarely get dogs in this age group), 1 year – 3 years, 3 years – 5 years, 5 years – 10 years	Gender preferred:	Either a Male or a Female	Color preferred:	Any color	Activity level:	Couch Potato, Outgoing, Quiet, Playful, Energetic, Very Active
Other preferences:	Our main consideration is that we have two cats that the corgi would be living with. Ideally, we would like to have a younger corgi so they could get used to the cats or a corgi that has had a history of living with cats without any problems. The cats would never attack a dog and have been around other dogs, but our concern would be the dog being able to adjust to the cats.

Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Hello, we have been hoping to rescue a corgi for some time if the opportunity ever came up. We love corgi's but only rescue animals, when we saw your website we thought we would give it a shot. The corgi is for myself, Lucy, and long-term partner Nathan.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	We've never personally owned a Corgi, but we have taken care of many dogs in our lives and currently care for our cats. We've spent a fair amount of time researching the breed and are aware of pros and cons of the breed. We love all dogs but Corgis have a special place in our hearts; we think they are absolutely adorable with their spunk and variations in personality. Our most recent experience was a Corgis in the park event.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We would take our Corgi on walks to our college campus and to the dog park at our apartment complex primarily. We would also take them to the lake our family owns, and introduce him to our family members dogs (the Corgi would have 6 canine buddies in total). We would also play with the Corgi and our cats as much as possible so they would become as friendly as they are with us. One of our cats is very social and likes to play with other animals so an additional playmate would be excellent for her. We love going on long walks and hiking and having a furry friend that enjoys nature would be lovely. We have a very large apartment, in addition to the dog park outside the building, the a Corgi would have lots of room to play.
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

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	If the Corgi makes a mistake, we would be understanding of the fact that it may not understand that it made a mistake. We would only use discipline as a last resort, as described below, but we would always forgive the Corgi and praise he or she when it does something well.
Discipline:	We would never do anything that would be against our dogs best interests. If the dog did something bad, such as destroying something, going to the bathroom in the house, etc., we would scold it by saying "No" but that would be the extent of our discipline. We would never yell at the dog or do anything to hurt it, the goal is to let it know it did something it shouldn't and reward the dog when it does something well with treats and praise.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	The Corgi would spend most of the day in the apartment, aside from going for walks outside, and playing in the dog park. We would ensure that he or she would get exercise each day. He or she would never be short of time for playing and relaxing with us.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	One of us is usually always at home during the day as we have very little overlap with our work schedules. If we had an adopted Corgi, we would make it a point to be sure that one of us was there or close enough to take them outside so there would be no stress on the Corgi. Nathan is normally home during the day, while I am home in the morning and at night while he is at work.
Where would dog eat?	The Corgi would eat in the apartment. He or she would have their own food dish sets near the kitchen.
Where would dog sleep:	The Corgi could sleep anywhere in the apartment.
Play & exercise:	The Corgi would have any opportunities for play and exercise. As I mentioned, we have a dog park right outside our building that's open 24/7. He or she would not have to be on a leash in this, it is fenced in and high enough that it could not jump out. We would take the Corgi for walks and ensure he or she gets exercise or play everyday. We would also play with the Corgi inside with toys. While we do not have a yard, this dog park is right outside the building and is fenced in.
