Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	This adoption is for our household.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I've wanted to adopt a corgi for well over a decade. I fell in love with the breed after first meeting one as a teenager at a dog show. I was stunned at how capable this little breed was on the agility courses. On top of being an adorable breed, they are typically very intelligent, energetic, and playful. Although they can be a bit noisy at times, barking and the likes is not a bother to us. I have researched the breed on my own over the internet, by reading books and magazines, and speaking with corgi owners at pet expos/dog shows.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We would take him/her out for at least one long walk each day(1-3 miles, as that is what our other dog requires), daily games such as fetch/tug of war, daily training for simple tricks. There are several dog parks in our area that we frequent with our other dog on weekends to keep her exercised and socialized. We also go camping and traveling frequently throughout the summer and like to take our pets with us (we NEVER leave our pets unattended in a vehicle).
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:	We would redirect the corgi to the proper action and reinforce the behavior with training and treats. If the corgi confuses an non-play item for a toy, for example, we would remove the item and bring an appropriate toy for the corgi to play with, then reward the corgi for doing so.
Discipline:	If the corgi misbehaves, we would use a stern, authoritative vocalization (not yelling, just a stern voice) to let him/her know that such behavior is not acceptable and redirect him/her towards the intended behavior with training and treats for positive reinforcement.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	The corgi would be with us most of the time. Our other dog typically comes with us when we go to visit family and friends, trips, and the likes. We allow our dogs to be with us at night, as well.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	We both work slightly differing first shift schedules, so there would be about six hours of each weekday that our pets are home alone.
Where would dog eat?	The dogs' food dishes are in the dining room next to the table so that they can eat by the family.
Where would dog sleep:	We allow our dogs to sleep with us in our bed if they like. We do have a dog bed in the event that the corgi would like to sleep elsewhere, so it can be comfortable.
Play & exercise:	We play with and exercise our pets daily with games and walks. We have a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and frequent nearby dog parks on the weekends.
