Story
Scout, is a 10-year-old shih tzu mix who started life in a puppy mill, making her a bit shy around humans. But when it comes to dogs—especially Sophie—Scout is all in. Scout enjoys walks alongside Sophie, though she prefers to avoid grass.Sophie is potty-trained, while Scout prefers using a potty pad due to lingering effects from her early life.Her BFF Sophie, a 9-year-old beagle mix, is the ultimate social butterfly—she adores dogs, cats, people, and even carrots! She’s happiest on a stroll but also enjoys neighborhood watch duty from her favorite cozy spot. Though she was recently diagnosed with diabetes, she’s doing well with insulin management.Both pups are up to date on vaccines and looking for a home filled with love. Can you give this loveable, bonded pair a safe space? If you are interested in fostering, adopting, or fostering to adopt these besties, we`d love to hear from you!

Story
Meet Julius Caesar AKA: The cutest tiny dictator Vibe Check: Distinguished senior statesman. Low drama. High cuddle diplomacy. Fun Fact: Julius Caesar is a professional couch potato—but please install guardrails. His depth perception is less "military strategy" and more "abstract art". Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Age: Senior (aged like a fine Roman wine) Weight: 12 lbs of pure imperial elegance Health Notes (All Hail the Honest Scroll): Julius's vision isn’t great, and his hearing may be questionable… or he may simply be choosing peace and ignoring you. Et tu, Brutus? He is on Optimune ($55 per tube) but doesn't mind it. Current Residence: Monroe, WI (far from Rome, but still respectable) Activity Level: Low… except for his daily, non-negotiable Zoomies of the Republic™ Social Skills: Dogs (will politely relocate if play gets too rowdy) Cats Older, respectful kids Loves the ladies, but REALLY loves men. Full-butt-wag allegiance. No judgment—everyone has a type. Sleep Style: Strictly dog beds only. No furniture hopping. No risky jumps. Julius believes in peace, stability, and not falling off things. Dining Preferences: Stella & Chewy’s raw kibble topped with meat, served twice daily. Refined palate. No counter surfing. Knows his lane and stays in it. Bark-O-Meter: 0/10 Julius believes barking is beneath a civilized ruler. Shedding Meter: 0/10 (but yes—regular grooming is required. Great hair doesn’t govern itself.) Fashion Sense: A toga. Of course. Signature Color: Crimson—because it pops against his inky black fur. Extras: Walk-Out Song: "Julius Caesar" by French Montana Favorite Pastime: Sunny day naps on the deck Best Feature: Softest fur ever. Must missing a crown of laurel leaves Signature Move: Locate soft bed → immediate nap Love Language: Car rides on a cozy blanket, lounging near your desk on a plush dog bed, or chewing a marrow bone while you watch TV. If given the option, Julius would chew marrow bones 24/7 without regret. The Final Decree: Julius Caesar is happy, cuddly, and deeply committed to chin scratches—his greatest joy in life. He thrives on routine, sleeps through the night, and is a pee-pad professional on the rare occasion one is needed. In summary: Julius Caesar is ready to lay down his laurel crown and retire directly into your heart. But will he find a home before the Ides of March? Neutered Microchipped Working on potty training. Uses belly bands and pee pads for now. Good on a leash and improving Does not need a crate, just a comfy dog bed UTD on vaccinations UTD on preventatives Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.
