| Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions | |||||||
|
Who is this dog for? |
The future pembroke would be an addition to our family. | ||||||
Why do you want a Pembroke? |
We love how social, playful, and active the breed is. Karl and I are active outdoors people who love to take walks and get outside. We are looking for a family dog who is also intelligent and trainable – something corgis are well known for! Depending on if this pup would be the right fit, I would consider training him/her to be a therapy dog. I currently work in a hospital setting and would love to come on my off days as a volunteer and therapy dog. We also have a corgi on our neighborhood block and would love to add another! | ||||||
Activities planned with Pembroke: |
We have a fenced in yard perfect for running and playing fetch. We also live 1.5 blocks from Minneapolis’s extensive trail system where we already do plenty of runs and walking and would love to incorporate a corgi into our routine. | ||||||
