Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	This dog will be our family dog, for my husband Thaddeus and myself.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	We are interested in adopting a Pembroke Welsh Corgi because we believe that the general temperament of this breed, as well as their size, would be a great fit for our lifestyle. We live near Uptown Minneapolis in an apartment, and love to spend time at home but also enjoy going out for walks and light recreation around town. We have been looking to add a dog to our family since we got married last summer, and having finally settled in the Twin Cities, we are excited for the chance to give a rescued dog a loving home. We have both grown up with multiple dogs and cats, and understand that pet ownership involves a commitment to the pet and to lifelong training (of both the dog and ourselves!). We have researched the breed and understand that they may require some training, especially around barking, and are prepared to train with positive reinforcement and treats.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Walking and playing (we live adjacent to the Minneapolis Greenway to accommodate frequent walks), and we live in a pet friendly community with lots of other dogs, so there will be socialization opportunities. About a mile down the path is also a fenced off-leash dog park, that we would love to take a dog to so long as it was comfortable with that kind of experience.
