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).

Story

Meet Mikey! Nickname: Sally O'Malley "I'm proud to say I'm 50 years old. I'm not one of those gals who's afraid to hide her age unlike some of those other gals, and I like to kick, stretch, and kick. I'm 50, 50 years old" Fun Fact: Mikey enjoys being outside for a little bit, But get your shovel ready, because his precious tootsies don't want to touch snow. YUCK. Age: Golden Oldie. I may be an antique, but I am FABULOUS. Weight: 13 lbs Health issues: I can't see very well, and I can't hear very well. That's ok, my nose works fine, so I can find my dish, and I really didn't want to listen to you anyway. I'm a dog, not your unpaid therapist. History: Mikey was in and out of shelters for years due to his previous owner's health issues. She surrendered him recently and he made his way to us to help him find his final chapter. Foster home: Oregon, WI Activity level: Low Friendly with: Adults and respectful older children. I am curious about other dogs and cats, but am too busy snoozing to really do much socializing. Sleep style: I love a fluffy dog bed and lots of blankies. I totally enjoy burrowing under them for naps. Meals: Small batch freeze dried (rehydrated) and if you can spare any bacon treats, I am all about it! Bark-o-meter: 2/10 (I bark a little bit as I settle down to sleep) Shedding meter: 2/10 Fashion: I think I would like a Gatsby-esque suit and a fedora. Walk out song: “Wouldn't It Be Nice" by the Beach Boys. Wouldn't it be nice to find a soft bed of my own? Favorite season: Spring I think I would enjoy sniffing the world as everything turned green again. Best feature: My calm demeanor. Nothing fazes me! Signature Move: Leisurely strolls followed by relaxing time near my people — or calmly snoozing Loves: Being with his person, blankies, bacon snacks, snoozing Bucket list: Learning to use the internet and your credit card. He thinks Amazon would be a super idea! Did you know you can get blankies and bacon snacks there? This sweet boy deserves the world for as much time as he has left. His previous owner said he was about 18 years old, but he acts younger. He has a cyst on his side that does not seem to be problematic, and will be left alone. Neutered Microchipped Housebroken, but sometimes he forgets. It might be a new house thing too. Good on leash, but he likes to meander and assumes you want to follow.

She was scared when first coming into rescue but with kind words and time she was able to relax and get comfortable with her new surroundings. She does love to play with the other younger dogs we have here because she is a young dog herself. We try not to crate her too much because she has done fine out with several of the other dogs in our care or with our dogs. Understand she will be scared and shy at first but just go slow with her and she will come around. Our must haves for her are: • A fenced in yard • Another young small dog for her to play with and pal with • Someone that can be home more than not or works from home • Someone active enough to take her for walks and car rides • No apartments, high rises or condos in case she barks at noises If you can fill these must haves and want to add a beautiful little girl to your home then Cara is the one for you. Please go to our website and fill out our online adoption application. ============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ============== AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund’s back or get bitten. If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures. To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page. Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3. Click this link to apply: https://www.allamericandachshundrescue.org/apply, it will take you to the application form. Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers who will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or Midwest. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.
