Story
Meet Winnie! Hello, let me introduce myself! My name is Winnie, and I'm about 12 years old, and just a little over 11 pounds. I spent my entire life in a puppy mill until the people at Albert's Dog Lounge came for me. I had never felt kind touch, or even the grass beneath my feet until then. I get to live in a house now! I have comfy beds, toys, and even a foster mom to help me learn love. I try really hard to be brave when my foster mom pets me, and I think someday I may enjoy it! Right now, sometimes I'm just too scared and run away. I'm a good little girl and do my business on potty pads, and I am well-behaved while foster mom is away at work. I'm really starting to like toys and playing with them. I also enjoy the company of other dogs and even cats. Actually, another well established, laid-back dog in my forever home may help me come out of my shell. I don't mind the cat here either! I wouldn’t do well with little kids who don't understand that I may not want to be pet, but older, calmer kids would be okay for me to live with. Since everything is new to me, I will need to have a fenced-in yard and someone who understands that I haven't ever been outside to potty, and work with me on being comfortable with things like grass, a leash, and even just being pet on a regular basis. I sure hope I get my own people to co tinue my forever journey. Who knows what the future will hold, but let's have our future be together! 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).

Of Agriculture License Number: 474085-DS Disclaimer: It is VERY difficult even for a veterinarian to tell the exact age of a dog over two years old. From one vet to another, we can get different age estimates on the same dog and they can vary by several years. We are only making an educated guess based on a few factors like teeth, fur color, and overall body condition, but for dogs who have not been given adequate vet care and food, it can be even more difficult.

Story
Meet Bobby! Are you looking for the perfect little snuggle buddy? Well, I'm Bobby! I'm 8 pounds of fluffy shih tzu love. I'm approximately 10 years old, very chill, and completely housebroken. Like most seniors, my favorite things to do are eat, sleep, and walk around the yard. I'm not a dog who likes to go for long walks, as I'm not great on a leash, but I love to explore my fenced yard. I get along with other dogs, large and small, as long as they don’t step on me. I need my furry four-legged friends and my two-legged siblings to be respectful and calm, as I'm blind and don't always know when to get out of the way. So, I could live with kids, but older ones only, please. The little ones are just too rowdy. I'm also not sure how I would do with cats since I haven’t met any here yet. I get around very well, considering my handicap. I can go up stairs and I love to cuddle. I'll snuggle next to you or in your lap while watching Netflix, and I love to cuddle next to you in bed. If you think I'm the perfect gentleman for you and your family, then maybe you are the perfect family for me, and I can go home with you!

Story
Meet Chloe! Greetings! My name is Chloe, and I am a 10 year old gal looking for my forever! My story is a bit of a sad one, as I found myself in rescue when my owner died. My world was turned upside down upon losing him, but don’t worry. I have thick skin. No, seriously…my skin has actually thickened over time due to some previous issues related to allergies. You may notice my hair looks a little thin in some areas, and my skin looks a bit dry but I promise I’m okay! I have some special foam and shampoo that can be used to help keep me comfortable, as well as some allergy meds I take as needed. While we are on the subject of meds, I also take one to prevent seizures. I have not experienced any while with the rescue, or in quite some time overall. So, the pills definitely work their magic. Speaking of magic, I can promise my bond with my adopter(s) will be just that! I love nothing more than being with people. I LOVE to cuddle. I hope you’ll let me snooze in your bed, occupy your lap, and come to holidays with the family! I have been attending rescue events and visiting a local nursing home and love everyone I meet! Men, women, children- lets be friends! While my thoughts on cats are unwritten, I do enjoy the company of other dogs. I would really like a calm canine pal in the home. I could thrive as your one and only if you happen to be retired, or home a lot. I do tend to bark some when you initially leave, so walls shared with neighbors are not the best type of residence for me. While I enjoy having a fenced yard, I am great on a leash so its not a deal breaker! ( I REALLY want you to stay outside with me anyway, and let my foster mom know I want to come in if she is heading inside). I am house trained, but may have a few accidents when adjusting to new surroundings. I should also mention I ride best when secured in the car. My excitement gets the best of me, and I think I should drive if left to roam the vehicle. I am only 11 pounds, so a kennel or car seat that fits nicely in the back seat will do just fine! Boy, I sure hope my forever family would like to take me places with them and love me for all of my days! Maybe you have a small space for me in your home?

Story
Hello, my name is Higgins which has an Irish origin and means ‘Viking' or ‘sea-rover'. It may have been my adventurous spirit and curious nature that led to me being a stray at WCHS. I Shih-Tzu-Not, I am cheerful, sweet and absolutely adorable. I may only weigh a bit over 12 pounds, but I am a spunky lad who likes to stand on my own four paws. Sometimes I am a wee bit nervous when I meet new people, but in no time, we will be the best of friends. I do enjoy the company pf humans and am very loving and affectionate. I am friendly, soft, waggy and playful; I am a guy who likes to have a good time. I will not need hours and hours of exercise, but I do enjoy a nice walk to explore or some playtime in the yard with you; I feel it is important to have together-time each day. I am treat motivated and have discovered some awesome things called hot dogs; I feel very special when I get a tiny yummy tidbit. If you are looking for a happy and perky little guy, I may be perfect for you. Stop by to make my acquaintance and I think you will agree, I will add love, fun and a whole lot of spice to your life. #1

Story
Hello, I'm Harris, an 8-year-old Shi Tzu mix who has had some tough breaks in my life. I am looking for a patient loving home for the remainder of my life. Foster Mom says I'm a good boy with the cats. I just ignore them. I am Ok around other dogs as long as they aren't too in my face but wouldn't mind being the only dog. Foster Mom says no small children for me because I don't like being touched unexpectedly. Before I came to my foster home, I didn't know what a crate was all about. Now I'm doing much better because I know that I get fed in my crate. I am also good at going potty outside. Foster Mom says I've never had any obedience training. I am not even sure what that is, but she says it would be good for me. If you think I am a fit for you, apply to adopt me.Adoption fee: $350 All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations.

Story
Rita is a sweet, retired mama from a puppy mill who is looking for a quiet, loving home where her humans can teach her how to be a dog. She is a bit shy now, but with time and patience I believe she will learn to trust. She likes her crate and sleeps there each night. She hasn't had one accident in my home and scratches at my patio door to go outside. So far, I haven't heard her say a peep...that could change as she becomes more comfortable, but so far she's a dream! She enjoys roaming free in my fenced-in yard and comes right in when I call her name. She's dog friendly with every size dog I have...I don't know about cats, though. All she needs is a warm bed, lots of affection and a hero! Is that you? You can also watch for stories, pictures and videos about me on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/40103261297/ Ask to meet Rita today!!
