Who is this dog for?

 We both had a deep love of corgis and would love the opportunity to rescue/adopt

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have always been drawn to corgis. I have met a good amount of corgis in in my adult life and they just seem like a great fit in my/our life. We like to be active, and having a dog to give us more reasons to go for walks and play outside sounds like a great addition to our lives. They're also typically more of a companion animal which is my greatest desire to adopt a corgi; I have a lot of love to give, and a dog seems like the best outlet for that.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We have a state park with lots of grass trails up the road from our home that we walk often as well as pet friendly parks in the area. My family also lives on a farm so there are lots of fun things to do there. We would do our best to do some sort of training to keep the dog stimulated, and are firm believes that you can never have enough balls or toys.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?
 No

Willing to house train?
 Yes
Willing to do formal training? Yes

Do you have a veterinarian?

 No

Vet contact info:
 {If yes, please provide contact information including the vet’s name, clinic name, street address, city, state, zip, and phone. Also include the website if there is one.:52}

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		I believe it's best to never show aggression toward any animal, and when mistakes are made it's best to try to remain as calm as possible, and acknowledge the mistake calmly but firmly, likely pointing to the mistake and saying "no".

Discipline:
 discipline should always be a last resort, and the first action should always be to redirect and encourage/praise proper behavior regularly. .
Worst case scenario, isolating the dog from the problem, whether that be removing the dog from the general area, or removing the items from the area.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 We would go for a walk/some outdoor play before we leave for work at 7:30, weather permitting, the dog would be home in the morning, and we both come home for our lunch break so they would be let out 1-2 times mid day, then one of us is home by 3:45 every day. Following that our evenings usually involve a bit a relaxing time then at least a walk around the neighborhood. We are home bodies during the week and rarely do things that would be dog friendly.

Where would dog eat?
 We would set them up in our dining room which is central to our main living area.

Where would dog sleep:
 Once we're confident that the dog can be out of the kennel at night without issue or danger to themself, we would get a bed for the dog and see where it feels most comfortable. We have lots of open floor space and would have no problem setting them up where they'd be most comfortable. Preferably on the floor in out bedroom.
