Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Samson!
Nickname: Sam, Sammy
Fun Fact: Someone forgot to tell Samson he's a dachshund! He loves to go outside and roll around in the snow!
Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge
Age: Golden Oldie
Weight: 15 lbs
Health issues: Sammy had back surgery in 2016. He dribbles urine but happily wears a belly band. He is not on any Rx medications but does use D-Mannose urinary support (multiple options online, $15- $25 per month, depending on brand)
History: Sammy's owner is getting married so he surrendered his elderly dogs
Foster home: Delavan, WI
Activity level: Moderate
Friendly with: Adults, respectful older children (12 and up, please!), and other respectful dogs. He will tell a dog that won't leave him alone to cut it out with a growl and a snap of his teeth (though he is not a biter, he just warns). Cats are an unknown.
Sleep style: Sammy will sleep in his own bed but he really would like to sleep cuddled up next to his owner underneath the covers. Sammy is a true Dachshund and that he loves to cuddle underneath covers.
Meals: Sammy eats freeze dried breakfast and frozen for dinner. He loves liver treats for snacks, a good bully stick, or a no-hide bone
Bark-o-meter: 1/10
Shedding meter: 1/10
Fashion: blue plaid belly bands (AKA "man pants")
Walk out song: “Tub Thumping" by Chumbawamba. "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down"
Favorite season: Samson loves the winter, someone forgot to tell him that dachshunds are not supposed to like the snow!
Personality: Resilient, playful, loving, cuddly, sweet, funny
Best feature: His super soft fur, his resilient nature, and his sweetness
Signature Move: walking in a doggy treadmill while I wait for dinner (if only we were all so disciplined!)
Love Language: cuddles and no one messing with his bones.
Loves: Snow play time! Do you want to build a snowman with me?
Bucket list: Learning to use the internet and your credit card. He thinks Amazon would be a super idea!
Sammy is a really great kid and he's very sweet as soon as his foster mama met him he was giving kisses. He's a fun sweet dog just needs the right home that doesn't mind him wearing pants! He guards his bones, but not his food, and hoards his toys. He just needs other dogs to allow him his space..... and his stuffies.
Neutered
Microchipped
Housebroken, but does dribble a bit from his IVDD (the reason for the surgery in '16)
Good on leash, but he likes to meander and assumes you want to follow.
Does well in a kennel or out of it, but his kennel is his safe space
UTD on vaccinations
UTD on preventatives

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.
