Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Gizmo!
Hello there everyone, my name is Gizmo! It's such a pleasure meeting you. I'm a senior now, and I weigh about 45 pounds, so I'm not a super big guy. I have some old man issues with mobility because of some neuroligical stuff happening, but I can still get around okay. You'll just have to be patient with me and help me once in a while. I get along well with other dogs, but hyper ones might be a little much for me and knock me over easily. I'm really interested in cats, and actually, foster mom says maybe I'm too interested in them. I could live with kiddos who are 12 and older since they will understand that they need to be a little more careful around me. I'm working on going my potty training skills, and with a schedule, I'm doing okay.
I really enjoy being around my humans and will follow you around so I can be close to you always. I really fear that I'm going to miss out on everything, so if I'm with you, there's no chance in that happening! See how that works? I'll need you to help me up on the couch or the bed at night time. I hope you don't mind. It's a good thing I'm not a big boy. I'll just need you to be patient with me, and I'll show you all the love I can give you. Are you ready to bring me home with you?
*Gizmo is being fostered in Madison, WI
*Gizmo has a dental scheduled for May, 8th.

- All cats in the home must be spayed or neutered and up to date on a rabies vaccination or wellness exam.
- None of our dogs will be adopted to prospective owners who mislead or fail to provide accurate information on the adoption application and/or the adoption contract. Albert's Dog Lounge reserves the right to refuse adoption to anyone.
- You must agree that if you are no longer able to keep your rescue dog for whatever reason, the dog will be returned to Albert's Dog Lounge. The adopter must agree to never attempt to sell or rehome the dog at any point.
Our goal is to place our seniors into permanent, loving homes for the rest of their golden years.
