Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Both of us but primarily for myself, Rachel
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I love how Corgis have short, little legs. I love how happy Corgis always look and how loving and energetic they are. I have never personally owned a Corgi but I have read quite a bit on them online to prepare myself and it is a dream to have one of my own. I follow many social media accounts of Corgis and I can't wait to love my own dog.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	I will take my dogs on frequent walks to nearby parks. I also am looking forward to the inside play with toys and tug-of-war, throwing balls to fetch, and playing with other dogs (given that my future dog is okay with that, I don't want to overwhelm my dog with too many things, and I would probably gauge it depending on the dog. I also know of a few dog beaches nearby that I think would be fun.
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

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	I will first work on verbal commands, knowing "no" and "good dog" are good. I aim for positive reenforcement because I want to be as loving to my dog as possible. Maybe give rewards or tell the dog "good dog" when doing good things will help. I would really work on only saying "no" when necessary, and if necessary always remove the dog from situations such as is aggressive towards other dogs or things of the like.
Discipline:	Mostly verbal, telling them "bad dog" and "no" is the best method. Removing them from the situation, like if my dog is chewing on something it shouldn't be then I will give them something else to chew on like a toy.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	While I am in class (part-time), I will crate my dog until I have trained them to stay inside the house. Otherwise, I will be allowing them through my apartment. I will take my dog outside frequently, and when I am home the dog will be out in the apartment with me

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	Yes, except during class and work. I make my own hours though, so I will make sure to be home frequently. If I am gone for an extended period of time, I can have my roommate, boyfriend, or another friend stop by when necessary.
Where would dog eat?	Whatever is recommended online, by the shelter, or by a vet. I would also look online for what is good for Corgis or small dogs in general.
Where would dog sleep:	Either on a dog bed, with me on my personal bed (size full), or wherever the dog feels is most comfortable
Play & exercise:	I plan to take my dog out on walks to parks frequently. As a dog walker, I love walking dogs outdoors and I would also incorporate play indoors in the apartment such as fetch and tug-of-war (so long that it is safe)

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?
