Story
Meet Peanut! Hello humans, my name is Peanut, and I have come here to be your best bud, and your everything! I'm a senior guy, weighing just 9 pounds, looking for his forever home, and I hope that I'm everything you've been looking for. Let me tell you just a few quick things about me so you know if I'm the love of your life, because I know I'd fit right in in just about any home! I do great with cats, and I prefer dogs who don't have a ton of energy and won't be in my face all the time. I could live with the small humans, as long as they are gentle and kind to me. I'm mostly house trained, but my foster mom puts this thing on me called a belly band if she's going to be away for more than 4 hours. It helps to keep any messes from happening, and I truly don't mind it one bit. I also do well in a crate if you need to put me in one as well! Let be real, though. I go everywhere with you if I could! My most favorite thing in the whole entire world is my humans! I will sit with you on the couch, I will let you hold me all day, and I will go on car rides (like a champ) with you. I also really enjoy soft treats and playing fetch with any sort of small toys. I am a small dog, after all. Foster mom has been feeding me watered down kibble to make it soft, and I really kinda like that! I enjoy being outside and going for walks with my humans, too. But I don't really like thunderstorms or fireworks. Those are my least favorite things in life. Foster mom has been taking really good care of me while I've been at her house, but she says now that I'm all healthy, I can find my forever people! She says I will be happy and loved with them too. We just need to look for the perfect home for me. That makes me so happy to think about! Maybe you are my people, and your home is meant to be mine too! 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 $300, ($550 for a pair).

Story
Moose came to us having been rescued from a rough situation in Texas. He has since been rehabilitated into a sweet, silly, pup, that ove to get and give attention. Moose love to play with toys, get along well with kids, and though curious, has never hurt a cat. he will chase them though. Moose is territory and food aggressive, so we recommend that he go to a home that has no other dogs. Moose is 3 years old. Now looking to rehome him because We have other dogs, and he doesn't like them.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi my name is Frankie. I am 11 years young and still have energy so don’t count me out! I was found abandoned on a country road. I don’t know why, I’m sweet, well mannered and a real love bug. I ended up at a shelter where they treated me very nice and got me all fixed up. Two weeks ago I took what was called the freedom ride to my foster home. I have received so much love and have really been able to relax. I’m in a home with kids, cats and 3 other dogs. I love that the oldest girl in the home shares her bed with me at night. My favorite things are going for car rides, getting belly rubs or being scratched behind my ears, and laying next to my foster mom with my head on her lap. If you’re looking for a sweet well behaved guy look no further.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 1, 2023, 9:14 am
