Listen to this! Well technically read this….One of the staff members describes my personality like "a ray of sunshine, with big loving eyes and a soul that is propelled by his ever wagging tail". Not to brag but how is that for an intro? Now let’s go down to business. Come on, what are you waiting for? I heard that your family may have been looking for a loving dog, so let’s meet soon. I can’t wait to meet your kids. I’m ready to move, go for a walk in my new neighborhood and introduce myself.

Story
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 Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.

Story
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: Friendly with: Adults and respectful older children (12 and up, please!). He is quite particular about other dogs, and would likely benefit from being an only dog. 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 specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs. Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and then a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $350, ($600 for a pair).
