My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Jax!
Nickname: Jackson Brown, Jax of All Trades
Breed: Rottweiler mix, possible Cattle Dog?
Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge
Age: senior
Weight: 106 lbs, but I am trying to be less curvy!
Fun fact: despite my weight, I can jump up on the couch and make myself at home.
Did you know: I grew up around lots of different animals (like chickens and bearded dragons)
Foster home: Hartland, WI
Home state: Wisconsin
Activity level: Medium.
Friendly with: people, dogs, and all sorts of other animals. I haven't been cat tested, but because I am good with so many types of animals, it is likely that I would do just fine. My previous owners said I did well with kids, but I do not interact with children in my foster home.
Sleep style: I currently sleep on a dog bed on the floor, but just wait til I shed these extra pounds and can jump up on the bed with you! I will be the big spoon, ok?
Meals: reduced fat/ protien kibble, 1.5 cups twice a day. This is a bit lower than recommended, but I have a lot of pounds to lose to get healthy (like 30 pounds, sadly)
Snore-o-meter: 2
Bark-o-meter: 4 I bark at others, when it seems like I want to play. I don't move around so well with all this extra weight, so I have to ask the other dogs to come to me.
Shedding meter: 7, but likely because it is spring, that magical time of year when we blow our winter coat!
Fart-o-meter: 2
Fashion: a gold chain and a slouchy Kangol hat
Signature color: Red
Walk out song: I Need Love by LL Cool J
Favorite season: Spring (really any season when I can go for walkies with my human!)
Personality: Cuddly, laid back, adventurous on walks
Best feature: My loyalty and love. I just want to be your forever dog.
Signature move: Letting the wind blow through my fur, window down in the car, on a sunny day
Loves: Food (really love my foster dad's chicharrones!), SNIFFari in the yard, Lazy Sunday, hanging out on the couch, walkies, car rides, cuddling with you
Bucket list: learning to waterski, cutting my own rap album, finding my forever family

Jax is super housebroken and has a solid bladder, so no worries about accidents in the house. He loves walks, which are wonderful for helping him lose his extra weight. He is currently on thyroid meds and glucosamine chews, but is a pretty healthy older guy. He enjoys chew toys and balls and just generally being a dog.

Neutered
Microchipped
Housebroken
Takes treats gently
Walks well on a leash
Excellent in car (requires help getting in/out)
Roams freely when home alone
UTD on vaccinations
UTD on preventatives

Additional adoption info

Albert's Dog Lounge is a foster-based rescue providing compassionate care to special needs, senior, and hospice dogs.

Our adoption process begins with a completed application. From there, we will review references and vet records. The next step is a home visit with your family. This visit may be in person or virtual.  At that point, if approved, we will set up a meet and greet with available dogs.

All dogs have an adoption fee of $275 for a single dog or $500 for (bonded) pair, unless otherwise noted.

Note: Pairs must be adopted at the same time to get the reduced adoption fee.​

-Applications with incomplete information will not be processed.
- All current dogs in the home must be spayed or neutered, up to date on rabies vaccination, up to date on DHLPP, up to date on Heartworm testing and preventative.
- 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.

More about this rescue

Albert's Dog Lounge is a foster-based rescue focused on providing loving homes to seniors, special needs, and hospice dogs. We help dogs in need from overcrowded shelters and also from local families who are no longer able to care for their pets.

Albert's Dog Lounge was established in 2017 with the vision to be the stepping stone to a new life for those dogs who are less likely to be rescued, adopted, or at a higher risk for euthanasia.
