Meet Hemingway Nickname: Hemmy Breed: Chihuahua Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Age: Senior Weight: 8 lbs Fun fact: He likes to sit on your shoulder like a parrot. He’s looking to help you live out your pirate dreams, ahoy me matey! Foster home: Madison, WI Activity level: Moderate Friendly with: Dogs, preferably of similar size (not cat tested). Small children/fast movements scare him, so a home without children is best for Hemingway.

Meet Joseph! Nickname: The 11th Son (go brush up on your Broadway musicals if you don't know!) Breed: Chihuahua mix Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Age: Senior Weight: 18 lbs Foster home: Stoughton, IL Activity level: Low Friendly with: Dogs, cats, and respectful children.

Walk out song: Go, Go, Go Joseph (the chorus part) Fun fact: If Joseph had a job, he would be a dream interpreter. Or a food critic who would likely give everyone a five star review! Personality: playful, goofy, couch potato, sweet, shy, attention hog :) Neutered Microchipped Crate trained (large crates only please! Mostly housebroken, but will need a belly band when acclimating to a new house as he will mark for the first few days. Might not be a bad idea overnight also UTD on vaccinations UTD on preventatives Joseph is such a wonderful boy! He has had a rough go of things but is so resilient! He had a broken pelvis in April 2025 and a broken leg in August 2025, but has recovered and is doing so well. He does have some potential allergies that we are trying Benadryl to help with, and is cat friendly despite having a foster kitty sibling that likes to smack him around. He is a stage 2-3 clinger during his first few days of decompression in a new home then settles down. He is a happy boy who dances for his meals.
