Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	The Pembroke would be for myself, but my roommate will assist in its care.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I want to adopt a PWC because ever since I saw the Queen of England with her corgis, I knew it was my dream dog. Corgis have everything I have ever wanted in a dog: short legs, long bodies, tall ears, big attitudes, and playful personalities. I have done research on them and know about their herding tendencies, shedding levels, and common health issues that arise due to their anatomy. I have puppy-sat corgis on rare occasions in the past as well as attended corgi gatherings (e.g. Corgis and Cupcakes, etc).
Activities planned with Pembroke:	I think it would be important to regularly walk with the corgi and let him/her socialize with other dogs. I live in the Third Ward in Milwaukee which is rich with dog-friendly neighbors, parks, restaurants, and shops. Indoors (and more frequently in the winter), I would have toys and treats to keep him/her entertained. In low-energy times, my lap will always be open and I will provide the corgi with all the blankets and plushy areas he/she needs to wind down.
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?	No

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	First, I would focus on rewarding positive behavior and teaching my corgi via rewards. I also understand that a dog's negative behavior requires adjustment on my part, like keeping things I don't want eaten out of reach of the dog. For in-the-moment negative behaviors, I would verbally reprimand and redirect the behavior elsewhere, like giving him/her something appropriate to chew on, moving him/her to another room if they're barking at something or someone, etc.
Discipline:	Positive reinforcement (and corresponding reward withholding for negative behavior), verbal reprimanding, behavioral redirect. I would never EVER use physical violence (hitting, kicking, etc) as a form of discipline.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	The Pembroke would likely spend most of his/her time indoors or on our patio, however we live very close to multiple dog parks, trails, bike paths, etc. that would serve as unique venues for entertainment and exercise.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	No, but we have relationships with our neighbors and family members that live nearby that would be able to check in in case of an emergency. I also plan to install a puppy cam.
Where would dog eat?	Main meals will be served in the kitchen. If the corgi needs to be crated during the day, there will also be food and water there (and enough space so as not to crowd him/her during the day).
Where would dog sleep:	Hopefully in my room or our living room, but during the initial crating period (if needed) or if negative behaviors persist, then in a larger crate or pen.
Play & exercise:	Our neighborhood has excellent paths for walking and multiple dog parks, so there are a multitude of places to take the corgi so he/she will never be bored. I will regularly walk the corgi and extended play time will come after work and on weekends.
