Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	The two applicants
Why do you want a Pembroke?	Firstly, both of us want a dog. We would like a PWC because we believe they are a great dog and a good breed to “begin” with. We both had dogs growing up but have not yet had one of our own. We believe the breed to be a good option for a first dog because of their wonderful temperament, their smarts and trainability, and their size. We have a cat and plan to get more cats and dogs and corgis generally have great attitudes towards other animals. We also have young ones in our lives and plan on having children within the next 5 years and trust the corgi as a breed. Also they are the cutest dogs on earth! I have known a few individuals with corgis and have loved their dogs. My dogs growing up we’re Jack Russell Terriers who have a fair amount in common with the corgi, so I feel comfortable with having one.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Everything – we are those animal people. Even our car is leash trained and goes for walks. We want to take our pup on our vacations with us when we go camping!
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
Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	I guess I’m not sure how to answer this question… I think of dogs as like children so I would try to teach my dog to not repeat the mistake.
Discipline:	Firm words, I have learned some submission tactics in the past for both my dogs and cats so that they will listen without me having to yell or hit (as I do not want to do these things to an animal unless I absolutely had to for whatever reason). Crating when the dog will not listen at all or has put themselves in a dangerous position. I plan to do more research on discipline for the specific breed once we have a better idea of what dog we will get, since we want a corgi but are open to other dog breeds as well.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	Most of the time would be spent in our home.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	Not every day, no. I create most of my own work schedule so I plan on initially working all evenings when we get a dog so it can healthily acclimate and be trained, and to provide supervision to its interactions with our cat. We would go from there based on the animal’s needs, most likely gradually increasing the amount of time spent alone each day. At most, the dog would be alone for 7.5-8 hours on days where we both worked during the day. But, I plan to avoid this!
Where would dog eat?	Right now our animal food dishes are in the kitchen/dining area. I imagine they would stay there or move to the laundry room if for some reason that were necessary.
Where would dog sleep:	Wherever it would like to in our home. We allow our animals on the sofa and beds. We also would purchase or create a bed purely for the corgi so it would have the option of it’s own space.
Play & exercise:	We have a yard the corgi can play in. We frequently go for walks around the neighborhood, to parks, and in local nature centers and would bring the dog with us. We have a 3 bedroom single family home, so there is plenty of room to run and play inside as well. The dog will get plenty of time for play and excercise since we will go out everyday with it, play inside with it, and give it the option of playing in the yard. We would also take it to visit other family with dogs to play together.
How will you exercise your dog?	Both on leash and restrained to the yard
Fenced yard?	Yes, I have a fenced in yard.
Willing to pick up dog waste?	Yes, I will clean up after my dog.
Willing to use a crate?	Most of the yard is fenced with a privacy fence that is over 6 feet tall and wood. There is a portion that is chain link because the driveway goes into the garage in the backyard, so this part of the fence can open and close.
