Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Both of us, we live together.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	Corgis have been a favorite breed of mine for years. My siblings and I had the corgi page of a Dog Breed book marked forever, we would revisit and read about them often. Growing up, my family mostly had labs, but we also fostered and trained surrendered mini daschunds for a number of years. My fiance also grew up with dogs, both large and small breeds. Since moving in with my fiance, corgis have been at the top of our list when hunting for a future canine companion. We are both completely taken with their look and how adorable they are, they are the perfect size for our apartment lifestyle, and we both have experience with training a variety of breeds of dog. Their size and temperament seems to be a perfect match for us!
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Our apartment complex is very safe, and we love talking walks together, so we're most excited about getting a dog so that we can take them on walks with us! There is also a small fenced dog park in our neighborhood, which we would like to take them to. Most of our time at home though would be petting and loving them, hanging out, and playing with their toys.

Money for basic care?	Yes

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	In our experience, dogs understand guilt and when they do something wrong. A firm "no" and angry facial expression to impress upon them that their action was wrong, along with especially praising when they do the right thing, done consistently is the best way to train behaviors.
Discipline:	Time outs if the dog is getting rowdy or over excited, firm no's at the time of inappropriate behavior, and taking away toys or treats if relevant to the situation.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	At home, in our apartment. Within the apartment, mostly in the living room and kitchen which are the biggest rooms. Most walks would take place around our apartment complex.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	On my days off, yes. I typically work 3-4 days per week; during those days, the dog would be alone approximately from 8am to 5pm, while my fiance is at the lab. At least one of us is always home on the weekends.
Where would dog eat?	In the kitchen, as we have laminated floors that would be easier to clean.
Where would dog sleep:	Most likely on a dog bed in our bedroom. We have a tall bed and do not feel comfortable letting the dog up there due to the risk of back injury while jumping.
Play & exercise:	My fiance and I love walks, and we are very excited to get to have a dog to bring along. There is also a small fenced dog park where we could let the dog run around off leash. Play in the apartment could be possible with small toys.
