Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	My husband and I are interested in a Corgi. We lost our Lab in January to cancer and we are starting to feel ready to rescue another dog. We have two cats and no kids.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	We are looking for an affectionate, goofy dog, which seem to be traits of Corgis. My husband's best friend has a Corgi (though I am not sure he is purebred), and we really enjoy spending time with him. He likes to play for a bit and then come sit at our feet. Of course their cuteness plays into the equation! I am short with short legs and always say I relate to Corgis.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We have a 6' fenced backyard and spend a lot of time outside. If our dog likes to play fetch, chase bunnies or squirrels, just hang out and enjoy the day – we've got that covered! Also going for regular walks. My in-laws have two golden retrievers that we could visit for playtime.
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

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	My husband and I both work full-time. However, he works close by and comes home every day for lunch.
Where would dog eat?	We have food and water bowls in the kitchen, as well a water bowl in our upstairs bathroom.
Where would dog sleep:	Wherever he or she wants! We are fine with dogs sleeping on the bed, but if it is difficult for the dog to get on/off, we would get a dog bed for the bedroom.
Play & exercise:	I am a firm believer that dogs need exercise every day, and that it is a major factor in behavior (a tired dog is a good dog!) We would play in the yard or take a walk every day.
How will you exercise your dog?	Both on leash and restrained to the yard
Fenced yard?	Yes, I have a fenced in yard.

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.
