My personality

My story

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

Meet Nougat!
Fun Fact: Nougat loves tennis balls and will request games of fetch! She's very good about bringing the ball back and dropping it at your feet, even nudging it closer with her nose if you aren't throwing it fast enough.
Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge
Age: Senior
Weight: 13 lbs
Health issues: Nougat had several tumors removed on 12/5: two lipomas and one probably cancerous mammary tumor. The tumor was removed entirely, however, this is something the adopter should keep a close eye on for any changes or new growths. She also had hernias in her groin repaired. She was spayed and had a dental cleaning at that time. Her bloodwork and everything else are within normal range.
History: Nougat was surrendered along with other dogs due a change in her owner’s life.
Foster home: Mequon, WI
Activity level: Low, except for ball chasing
Friendly with: other dogs, cats, and older, respectful children
Sleep style: Nougat prefers to sleep pressed up next to you, under the blankets
Meals: 1/3 cup Fromm kibble 2x a day
Bark-o-meter: 3/10
Shedding meter: 4/10
Personality: Nougat does not act like a senior. She’s up for whatever you want: a game of fetch, a walk outside or just chilling.
Best feature: A tail that never stops wagging
Loves: Tennis balls, Sleeping in your bed and stealing cat toys
Dislikes: Being Alone. Though she does okay when left alone for a few hours, she will be most happy with someone who is home most of the time and lets her sleep in bed with them.

Spayed
Microchipped
Nougat will potty outside if given frequent breaks and if the weather is favorable, but may also have accidents.
Very easy to leash walk
Does not need a crate, just a comfy dog bed. She prefers not being crated
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.
