Type of Dog Wanted
Ages interested in:	1 year – 3 years, 3 years – 5 years, 5 years – 10 years	Gender preferred:	Either a Male or a Female	Color preferred:	Red & White, Red Headed Tri, Sable & White	Activity level:	Outgoing, Quiet, Playful, Energetic
Other preferences:	I am in my late sixties and my activity level is moderate. I own my house where there is a nice fenced back yard. My grandchildren range in age from 5-14 and in their homes they all are used to being around dogs, cats, snakes, and lizards. We had a Labrador retriever when I was growing up; while raising kids we had two rescue dogs and a cat who were integral to our family. As a single adult I lived for 14 years with two rescue cats who were brothers. I have a preference for a short-haired corgi over a long-haired one, but that's not a deal-breaker.

Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	I am a single retired woman recently relocated from Seattle to Michigan to live near my kids, grandkids and friends.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I have casually known two people who had Corgis. In interactions with them I found corgis to be smart, active, and friendly. I've also been impressed that they were not aggressive or hostile in general toward people and other dogs. I've done some research about corgis over the past year on the internet.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Aside from walks in our neighborhood and parks, I'm a big gardener and spend a lot of time outside as the Michigan weather allows. I do have arthritis and have found that staying active is the best way to stay healthy, but I won't be doing any strenuous hiking, for example. It would be great if my corgi liked traveling in a car so we could take trips together. I've found from knowing my sisters and their dogs that dogs are happy when they are active and have responsibilities. – whether that's something organized like agility or informal like learning obedience or their role in the family.
