Story
Name: Baxter Breed: Lab mix (85 pounds of YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND AND I LOVE YOU) Age: Senior, but don't tell him. He still has a full head of hair and the ladies love him Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Current Location: Marshfield, WI Meet Baxter- the perfect man. He’s housebroken (doesn't pee next to the toilet like SOME people we could mention), vaccinated, microchipped, and has a way better personality than your ex. We said what we said. A word of caution: Baxter is not a huge fan of thunderstorms, and he does better in a "boomy room".... an interior bathroom, a dark closet, wherever he is somewhat shielded from the sounds and sights. Add a melatonin and he’s right back to being your charming, goofy sidekick. Car rides: While Baxter would happily call shotgun and jump in the front seat, he doesn't know right from left and cannot read road signs, so you might want to consider a human for that spot. He is otherwise good with riding with you, especially if there is a pup cup involved. Behavioral Highlights *I am good with dogs and kids. Cats are an unknown, but be cautious. I do have a decent prey drive. *I can be suspicious of men. TBH, it was one man, and it was my foster mom's boyfriend. He had shifty eyes. I have been fine with men elsewhere. *Leash walking: A harness is a good choice with me. I am a big boy, and when we first set out on our walk, I get excited and may pull a bit. I redirect with a gentle "no", and settle into strutting my stuff like the superstar I am. *“Affectionate nibbler.” I may occasionally mouth arms, shoes, or dog friends’ ears to remind you that you’re loved (and that you’re not paying enough attention). I will also use my head or paw to remind you that you are being remiss in the belly rub department. *I may bark at sirens and strange dogs, but I stop if you ask nicely. Paying the cheese tax gets me to focus on being quiet quite nicely. I will wrap my paw around your leg like we're about to slow dance to Marvin Gaye. Cancel your plans; I've got the playlist covered. I am big into 80s slow jams. You should be too. I am dog-friendly and great with older kids who appreciate a lovable goof with no sense of personal space. I may knock over a very small human, but it would be accidental Favorite Pastimes Cuddling like it’s a full-time job*Looking at you with soulful eyes*Decorating windows with his best nose art*Sleeping like he just pulled a double at the snuggle factory Walk-out song: Smooth Operator by Sade Favorite season: Fall. So many sniffs to sniff, leaves to cronch through, and tailgate parties to attend! I don't even care who wins, I just want the brats and cheese curds! Fashion: Red smoking jacket with velvet lapels. And some slippers. I'm fancy like that. If you’ve got a sense of humor, a soft couch, and a heart big enough for a man like Baxter, apply now! He's been waiting for you! 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
Meet Mazzy Starr Adoption Fee Sponsored by Susie Nessler, in loving memory of Apache and Tracker Nickname: The Blonde Bombshell Breed: Yellow Lab Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Age: 4 years young Weight: 42 lbs of pure golden sunshine Hometown: Texas (where everything’s bigger, including my personality) Current digs: Edgerton, WI Personality Snapshot: I’m a curious, confident, and loving with a heart of gold and fur softer than your favorite throw blanket. I adore people — especially men (what can I say, I’ve got a type) — and I’m cool with submissive dog friends who don’t mind that I like being Queen Bee. Cats? Eh… let’s just say I prefer a good chase over polite conversation. I am good with free-roaming in the house when you are gone, so no need for a crate! I love all people, big, small, short, tall, male, female. I am a big fan of repairmen, electricians and plumbers. Just something about a man who can fix things.... I will offer to go home with them every time! I also love love love car rides. Ever want to kidnap me? Open a car door. I'll hop right in, a willing victim. Tell me “HUGS!” and I’ll come running like it’s my full-time job. Seriously — big, snuggly, full-body hugs are my brand. Mazzy Stats: Sleep style: On the people bed if at all possible, but I will easily redirect to a dog bed on the floor if you ask nicely. Meals: 1 cup high-quality kibble, twice daily. Nom nom. Snore-o-meter: 1/10 I am a lady like that. Bark-o-meter: 3/10 I will let you know when someone is coming, but otherwise, I keep it down. Shedding: 4/10 I sparkle. You’ll sparkle. We’ll all sparkle together. Fart-o-meter: 0/10 A lady doesn’t toot. Fashion sense: Think sporty chic — tennis skirt and matching sun visor. Signature color: Red — because it pops against my golden glow. Walk-out song: “Fade Into You” by (who else?) Mazzy Star. Favorite season: Summer! This Texas girl was born for sunshine, leisurely walks, and backyard barbecues. Dream job: Walmart Greeter — I have the smile, the enthusiasm, and the "Hi! Hi! Hi!" energy for days. Biggest dislike: Farm machinery and big trucks. I bark to remind them who’s boss. Bucket list: Car rides, a fenced yard, a loving family, and maybe a moonlit dance or two. Special Notes: Mazzy has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which means her skin is a bit more delicate than most dogs. Roughhousing with rowdy pups isn’t her jam, but gentle play, cuddles, and calm companions are perfect. Her skin can tear pretty easily from claws and teeth, so supervision with other dogs is a must! She’s smart as a whip — she knows “come,” “stop,” and “hugs” — and she’s got the softest, bunny-like fur you’ll ever touch. The Details: Spayed & microchipped Housebroken Takes treats gently Walks nicely on a leash (a gentle leader helps when she gets excited!) Rides like a champ in the car Can free roam when left home alone Up to date on vaccinations & preventatives Mazzy Star is ready to shine in her forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate sidekick who will fill your world with love, laughter, and hugs on demand — your Texas sweetheart is waiting.

Story
1 year old (estimated) Neutered male 47 lbs Has done well with other dogs in the shelter No known experience with cats or kids Lenny is an outgoing, social pup who loves everyone he meets. He’s full of energy and always ready for fun, whether he’s playing with his dog buddy, racing around the yard, or entertaining himself with toys. He’s learning his manners and knows both sit and down, and although he can jump like a kangaroo when excited, he settles quickly when asked. Lenny loves to play ball and will happily let you take it from him, and he’s just as delighted by sticks, often tossing them into the air for himself. His lively, affectionate personality makes him a great fit for an active home that can match his enthusiasm and give him plenty of opportunities to play, explore, and continue to grow. Lenny has been waiting a while to find his family so his adopter can name their own adoption fee when they take him home! The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.November 20, 2025, 2:52 pm
