Story
Jellie came in with her friend Bellie when their owner passed away. Though a little shy when first meeting people, she is blossoming quite well. She gets along with other dogs but would like a home with older children. Jellie can be a runner/door dasher and will need to be worked with that in the home. Jellie and Bella are able to find homes separately. Ask about her today!

Story
Meet Maizy! Hello there, my name is Maizy! You may remember me as being "the last save of 2023". I needed a place to go quickly, and the good people of Albert's found an open spot for me! Since I'm a golden oldie, they sure didn't want to see me end up at a shelter. I'm about 20 pounds, and though I'm little, I'm not too much of a lap dog. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy being around my people, but I likely won't cuddle with you. I'm really good with other dogs, and even cats. I could do well with older, respectful kiddos, but they must understand that I won't want to be held. I'm working super hard with my potty training, and I'm doing well with going on potty pads, but man, it's cold outside right now, so please don't hold anything against me if I don't exactly find going outside desirable! My favorite pastime is curling up in a nice cozy dog bed to take a nap in the sunshine! Added blankets would be a huge bonus! I'm not too fond of not seeing my humans and will voice my displeasure with it, so apartment living isn't ideal for me. I'm a little hard of hearing, so you might have to yell to get my attention, or if you know I can see you, you could wave me to come to you if you'd like. I'm a super sweet gal, but I'm a bit timid at first. I've recently had a big life change aferall. I'm hoping I get to find a loving family I can be a part of soon, so I can say I have a home of my own for the rest of my days! Do you have a little spot for a lady like myself in your home? *Maizy is being fostered in the Port Washington area. 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). Learn more about Albert's Dog Lounge, our mission, and adoption policies by visiting Albertsdoglounge.org.

Of Agriculture License Number: 474085-DS NOTE ABOUT AGING A DOG: Aging a dog, based on looking at them, is unreliable and usually inaccurate.

Puppy - Under 6 months Young Adult - 6 months to 2 years Adult - 2 years to 8 years Senior - 8 years to 12 years Golden Oldie - 12+ years

Story
Twix is ready to review your application to take her home!! Twix is a female Rat Terrier who is approx 2 years old and weighs 13 pounds. While we know very little about her background, she has adapted to home life just fine. She LOVES human contact and is the best little companion around town! Twix is really pretty chill, she is digging car rides, walks, and anything else you want to do! She is comfortable with a crate as she will stroll in on her own for a little snooze during her busy play days. She interacts well children and dogs; not a huge fan of flies as she is determined to catch any that cross her path! Twix is also doing great with potty! Take her out and she will take care of business!!! She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Twix is asking you contact her Foster mom asap to discuss Twix’s wit, charm, and cuddle skills. She is ready for her forever home. Adoption fee of $450 is required.

Name: NellieBreed: Rat Terrier MixDOB: 1/2/23Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location: Hampshire, ILAdoption fee: $325Fun Bio: Poor Willie and Nellie were found after being dumped and abandoned in someone's yard.....on Christmas Day! What the heck?! We aren't sure if they are related (maybe father daughter? Grandfather?) but Willie is very attached to Nellie. Both Willie and Nellie are great dogs who, despite being abandoned, love life and being around people. They will entertain you for hours! Nellie is just about a year old ready to find a home that will love her Willie forever where they'll never be abandoned again. Can it be with you? If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.  We will likely not respond to interest emails regarding puppies and/or kittens, we get so many "interest" emails that we simply do not have the time to respond to each one.  We always recommend crate training, positive reinforcement training, exercise, playtime, and a regular schedule for potty breaks when bringing a new dog/puppy into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time!Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm testing, deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip. ##1914509##

Story
Tula is a wonderful companion who thrives on genuine connection and love. Tula has a lot of love to give and specific needs that make her an ideal companion for the right home. Her comfort with other dogs and her preference for a quieter, adult-only environment are key considerations for anyone looking to adopt her. Her playfulness and intelligence would certainly shine in a home that can provide regular mental stimulation and physical activity, such as teaching her new tricks and enjoying outdoor adventures. For Tula, potential adopters should be prepared to provide a nurturing, attentive setting where she can form strong bonds. Given her discomfort around children, a calm, stable home with one or two adults would likely be ideal. Also, the presence of another playful dog could be a great source of companionship and help her adjust to her new environment more smoothly. It's important to find the right environment for her where she can feel comfortable and happy. Fill out an adoption application to schedule your own private meet and greet with this furry friend.

Story
Freckles came to us from a rural downstate shelter. We believe she has rat terrier and chihuahua in her DNA. Even though Freckles' estimated age is 9-years old, she has an adorable puppy face. That face lights up when she is on squirrel watch. Her foster dad is careful to make sure the squirrels stay safe when Freckles is outside. We don't know anything about Freckles' past. We do know she is safe in our care until she finds the right home._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Freckles is $ 400.00WANT TO MEET FrecklesThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Freckles and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Story
Hi! My name is Bella. I was brought to the shelter when my family had to move out of the state. You see my dad was in the military and I wasn't allowed to be where he was going. I have missed my family but have enjoyed my many walks and play time with all the new people around. I do have a bad habit of being the loudest in the room. Hey I just want to make sure they all know I'm here! I can be good with other dogs as long as they know I'm in charge. Ask about me today!
