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.

Story
Meet Benji! Breed: Shih Tzu mix Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Age: Senior Weight: 14 pounds Fun fact: Benji is a self-massager. He lies on his back and wriggles back and forth to give himself the best back rubs and scratches! Foster home: Fox Lake, WI Activity level: Moderate Friendly with: Dogs, cats, and older, respectful kids. Benji scampers around the house very quickly and that may a bit much under foot for youngsters. He is also a fan of "kitty crunchies" so make sure he doesn't have access to the litter box! Meals: Benji eats a combination of canned food and dry kibble twice a day. His favorite snack is anything that you offer him! Meds: Nothing long term. He is being tapered off of prednisone from a respiratory infection. Sleep style: In the people bed because there is nowhere better to be! Snore-o-meter: 1/10 Bark-o-meter: 2/10. Benji rarely vocalizes. Shedding meter: unknown~ Benji was shaved down prior to arriving due to extreme matting. As a probably Shih Tzu mix, expect grooming to be necessary, and shedding likely to be lower. Jump Around by House of Pain. Benji loves to leak and has quite the vertical ability Favorite pattern: Red plaid. Warm and fashionable! What more could a gentleman want? Best accessory: A red coat and plaid cap Favorite activity: On the daily, people watching from the back of the couch, the yard, the end of a leash.... pretty much wherever! But his REAL dream is to go up against Joey Chestnut in a hotdog eating contest. Benji might not win, but it would be a tight race! Favorite season: Autumn! It's a great time of year to do some cross-country running and also have access to an abundance of food. He has heard Thanksgiving dinner is an absolute delight! Personality: Professional snuggler, happy, playful, delighted, sweet Benji came with a nasty ear infection. He had a Claro treatment on January 28, and will follow up with a vet to make sure it is gone. His teeth are either missing or ground down to the level of his gums. There is no sign of infection or inflammation, but an adopter will want to keep an eye on this in case anything changes in the future. Based on how Benji was found and the fact that his teeth are ground down, it would seem that he had some rough days in his past. You would never know it now; Benji is a very sweet dog who wants nothing more than a warm home and people who love him. He is content to sit on the back of the couch and look out the window or snuggle up with a human. When it's time to play, he will grab a toy (or two) from the toy box and bring it to you to toss and then he will play with it on his own. Benji will also be a great companion for someone who enjoys getting out and going for walks. Microchipped Neutered Housebroken (but he drinks a lot and needs to be let out very regularly. We also use a belly band at night just in case) Unsure about crate training. It has not been necessary in his foster home UTD on vaccinations UTD on preventatives Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.

Meet Lolly! Nickname: Lollipop! Fun Fact: Lolly enjoys her spa days, so baths are no problem! Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge Age: Senior Weight: 24 lbs Health issues: Lolly has rough skin but it is improving with monthly allergy shots and medicated baths a couple times a week History: Lolly was taken from her owner in a neglect case, and made her way to Wisconsin from Tennessee Foster home: Elkhorn, WI Activity level: Low Friendly with: Other dogs and older, respectful children Sleep style: Lolly sleeps in a dog bed, or in our people bed Meals: Purina Pro Plan stomach (1/3 cup 2x day) with some toppers and Nutriol with dinner. She likes chicken jerky treats Bark-o-meter: 4/10 (she barks at shadows and things we humans cannot see) Shedding meter: 0/10, but as her lovely soft hair grows in, she will likely need regular grooming. Fashion: Cowboy Chic. Give her a fringed vest and some boots! Signature color: Sky blue would pop against my fur! Walk out song: "Cowboy Take Me Away" by the Chicks Favorite season: Fall! There is nothing like the smell of the crisp air, the crunch of fallen leaves below your feet, and football weekends!
