Story
Meet Mulan! Age: Senior Weight: 15lbs Breed: Shih tzu Good with: cats and small dogs (no kids) House trained: yes Crate trained: no, does not require a crate when left alone Special needs: prefers minimal stairs Mulan is a sweet and well mannered pup who is looking for a soft place to land. She’s trusted in her foster home and will join you on the couch when invited, but this independent lady is happy to be curled up at your feet or on your lap. She walks well on a leash and is happy to explore the neighborhood with you but prefers there aren’t too many stairs inside the home. She loves to have her ears rubbed and enjoys the company of adults but has some resource guarding and does not enjoy her face being touched so she requires a home without kids. This gorgeous gal is ready for her forever family, could this be you?

Story
Meet Alfie! Age: senior Weight: 20 pounds House trained: Yes Good with: dogs (he lives with two in his foster home) cats/children unknown Characteristics: Friendly, affectionate, easy going, happy This friendly and affectionate guy is hoping to find a family that appreciates the finer things in life, like he does. Food in his tummy, a snuggly bed, daily walks and a family to cuddle with are all he really needs. While Alfie can be a bit of a couch potato, if you’re looking to get your steps in everyday, he’d make the perfect walking buddy. In fact, Alfie tends to get very excited when foster mom says it’s time for their daily walks. He has a lot of pep in his step for an older gentleman, and he loves meeting other humans and dogs on walks. While he enjoys doing all the things dogs do on a walk, Alfie also enjoys basking under the warmth of the sun on cool autumn afternoons. So, while a fenced yard isn’t a deal breaker, it sure would be a bonus. Alberts Dog Lounge may have coined the phrase, “crusty old dog” which fit perfectly with the condition of Alfie’s skin when he arrived in foster care, but medicated baths are making his skin feel a whole lot better. He even has a shine on his coat. Not only has Alfie been a champ during bath time, but he’s also just as tolerant of the daily eye ointment applications used to treat his one dry eye. It probably helps that he doesn’t have any vision in that eye. But that’s ok, he gets along just fine with one eye. Overall, Alfie is just a laid back, rub my belly type of guy who likes to nuzzle in your lap to show his affection and appreciation of your kindness. Alfie would love for you to come and meet him. We are sure you will be smitten. *Alfie is being fostered in Whitewater, WI. Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.
