My personality

My story

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

Meet Hope!
Nickname: Miss Peace, Hope and Joy
Fun Fact: I love stroller rides! I can sniff the air, walk with the pack, and not worry about getting tangled in the others because I can't see where they are going.
Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge
Age: Golden Oldie
Weight: 16 lbs
Health issues: Double enucleation (both eyes have been removed, but she doesn't care). rear luxating patella, slight arthritis, grade 2/6 heart murmur
History: Hope's elderly owner passed away and the shelter let us know that she would thrive in a foster setting
Foster home: Delavan, WI
Activity level: Low. She is an avowed couch potato
Friendly with: Adults, respectful older children (12 and up, please!), and other respectful dogs. She can't see, so she would do well with dog that would be careful of her and not just bowl her over. Cats are an unknown.
Sleep style: She loves to sleep in her various beds, and we'll flip them over and double them over to be comfortable. She sleeps through the night and is a very quiet girl
Meals: Grandma Lucy's dehydrated for morning and frozen raw for dinners
Bark-o-meter: 1/10
Shedding meter: 1/10
Fashion: an itsy bitsy, teeny weenie yellow polka dog bikini (IYKYK!) or anything that makes me look like the princess that I am!
Walk out song: “I Can See Clearly Now" by Johnny Nash
"I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day"
Favorite season: Give Miss Hope the summer sun on her face and a soft breeze through her fur and she meanders through the yard, sniffing all the sniffs.
Personality: Resilient, calm, loving, cuddly, sweet, zen
Best feature: Her sweet as pie personality
Signature Move: napping on laps
Love Language: cuddles and smelling the world
Loves: being with you, other small, respectful dogs, and soft, squishy beds
Bucket list: playing "princess and the pea" with alllll the fluffy dog beds. Because she is definitely a princess, and fluffy beds are the best!

Hope has done a miraculous job on navigating a new house, she gets along with everyone and is just a real sweet girl. She will make someone a really great dog she just wants a warm lap to cuddle up in and is a very quiet loving dog. .

Spayed
Microchipped
Housebroken
Good on leash, but he likes to meander and assumes you want to follow.
Has not been in a kennel in her current foster home

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.
