We only accept applications from Wisconsin. Cane is currently living with a foster near Milton, Wisconsin. Cane is a three year old local owner surrender who found himself needing a new home due to his owner moving. He is quite possibly the most beautiful dog you'll ever see! He is smart, crate trained, and loves to run in a fenced in yard. He is an active dog who is silly and will chase his own tail. He is food motivated, knows basic commands, and walks well on a leash. He is a Shepsky (Shepherd, Husky mix) & even more beautiful in person as the pictures show! He plays well with Coa (GSD), but in typical shepherd style likes to play rough. He is very smart & eager to please his people! He could easily be adopted with Coa, though he would also thrive in a home on his own. Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $250.

Story
Hi! I’m Cinnamon, a 1-year-old shepherd mix from Memphis, Tennessee. I may be a rare beauty (please see my Cindy Crawford mole), but don’t be intimidated—I’m actually very down to earth! In fact, I’ve never met a person I didn’t like, and I’ll prove it to you by licking your hand and gazing at you adoringly until you believe. I weigh 45 lbs and seem to be done growing, and not to brag on myself but the nice rescue lady said I have the prettiest eyes she’s ever seen. Wow—blushing!!!! 🥰 They’re calling me Cinnamon here, but you can call me Butterscotch, Pumpkin Spice, “Hey Dog,” whatever you’ve got, just don’t call me late for dinner! I was found scrounging for food and hiding in a bramble bush in midtown Memphis, and I gave the neighbors quite a scare by running past all their ring cameras in the middle of the night like a phantom and then refusing to be caught just as the weather was starting to freeze. Whew! Life on the run was rough, but one day I saw this trail of bacon treats leading into a fenced backyard and between you and me America I had to find out where all this was going. Next thing I know, wham, it’s 72 degrees, I’m in a room that smells like Tide, I’m bankrolled with free healthcare and all the kibble I can eat. Can’t believe my luck! I went to the vet next and made all new friends there. They couldn’t believe what a nice dog I am, and I couldn’t believe they were just giving out free treats to any dog who showed up. I mean! They gave me my shots, looked inside my ears, poked me in the belly, and held me upside down like a baby, and I confess I thought that was all a little weird but hey, whatever y’all are into, just keep the treats coming and I’m your girl. I haven’t met any cats yet, but I’m unfazed by strange dogs barking at me. I also met an exuberant nine year old who threw her arms around me the minute we met and I have to say I was into that. Somebody somewhere must have crate trained me because I am very polite in my house habits. I’m quiet and snoozy in my crate and I haven’t made any messes in the house. I am also not a hyper dog—I may look like a puppy, but I’m your classic girl next door type—I just like to lounge and chew on my bone. If you’re doing Netflix and chill, great! That’s what I’m doing, too. Alexa! Cue up Bluey. Once I’m spayed, I will be looking for my forever home. I would love a family who likes kisses and throwing toys and wants me to sit right on their feet all the time because I have a lot of love to give. If you’re looking for a new friend this Christmas, call me up! Xoxo Cinnamon 🐾 Once adopted Cinnamon will travel via private transport (transport cost is $150.00) to a location closest to you.

Story
·Intake Reason: Transfer from Louisiana·Weight: 70 lbs. Known with: ·Cats: Unknown ·Dogs: Does not like ·Kids: Unknown ·Personality: Gentleman; Knows sit, shake, down and roll over.Howdy, my name is Trace; that name means ‘brave' and I am quite a noble pooch. I am a friendly and affectionate lad who loves people; I think humans are simply grand. I must confess that I get a bit reactive when I see other dogs; I will need a calm and assertive leader who will help me relax in those situations. A home without other animals would be best. I am very smart and enjoy learning; I think I would love to take some classes or do training with you. I am quite versatile and would be game to try anything with you; I enjoy togetherness. I am athletic and agile; running and romping are two of my favorite activities. I think the game of chasing a bouncing ball is a hoot as well. I am a handsome lad who promises to be loyal to you forever. I hope you stop by so we can meet in person; I do adore hanging out with humans. #2

Story
Hello, my name is Deanne Summers My father in law was recently diagnosed with stage 4, terminal lung cancer. He owns a Rottweiler, German Shepherd mix male dog, named Bruno. Bruno is 3-4 years old, who is a bit timid and a scaredy cat. I am heartbroken writing this email because I am huge dog lover. My family currently has two dogs and two cats. I would love to take Bruno into my home, however, my husband will not let me keep him. He is a hyper boy, who needs a lot of attention. He loves to play ball and takes walks with me. My father in law didn’t do any type of activities like this with him. So when he went into he hospital, I started walking him 3 times a day . We have been doing this since September 29th of this year. He can now walk nicely on a leash. He can walk past people on our walks and not be scared. He really has come so far. However, he still needs a loving home who would be willing to work with him.

Roxy was abandoned when her owner died suddenly. Her shots were completely updated on 10/27/23. She's Smart, Energetic, and Loves to Play. She will be a great dog for someone who has time and energy for her. She's a beautiful dog that needs a good home. We are asking $100 adoption fee to offset the wellness vet visit and shots she just received.

Story
Meet Ike! Howdy friends, my name is Ike and since I'm a young adult, you might be wondering what the heck I'm doing at Albert's Dog Lounge! Well, you see, I have myself a funny little walk that might be a mild case of cerebellum hypoplasia. That just means I am what I am, and there's nothing to do to fix it. I'm happy and healthy, weighing just about 30 pounds, with more growing to do. I'm not in pain, and I'm friendly with everyone. I get along with other dogs, but if they are more my age, the better, because I don't always take cues the way I should from older pups that they don't want to play. I really like cats, and I like to play chase with them, but I don't ever hurt them. I'm a really good boy, and I'm working on going potty outside every time I need to go, and I'm completely crate trained. I do well with kiddos, too, but since I'm young yet, I'm still working on my manners, and I would never want to knock a little one over. I love love love playtime with my fur siblings here in my foster home! And I love to sniff and run and go for walkies! Just like any younger boy, I have energy, and I like to get it out of my system. I sometimes try to show the other puppers in the house that all the food is mine, so foster mom and dad are working really hard with me on this. In just one short week, they have seen a significant improvement and would love to share with my forever family how they can help me be the very best doggo friend! My new home should be fun, but also disciplined. My new family should want to add a devoted, loving, smart, loyal member! Do you think I can be the newest addition to your family? *Ike is being fostered in the Janesville area. Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.
