Story
Meet Guss – your future professional lap warmer and full-time cuddle consultant  At 6 years old, this handsome Shih Tzu has perfected the art of cozy living. His favorite hobbies include claiming warm laps, supervising snack time (especially if it involves yummy treats), and finding the softest nap spot in the house. Guss is fully potty trained, has excellent house manners, and truly thrives in a calm, predictable environment. He gets along well with other dogs and doesn’t mind feline friends either. Because he prefers a peaceful routine, he’s looking for a home without young children where he can feel safe and secure. Guss was deeply loved by his previous owner, who sadly passed away, and he’s ready to give his whole heart again. If you’re searching for a loyal little companion with a gentle soul and a heart of gold, Guss is your guy.  Requirements: No Children    All of our animals reside in loving foster homes until they are adopted into their perfect match. If you are interested in meeting this animal, please complete an adoption application on our website: https://www.BestPawsRescue.com   Ages and breeds are our best estimates, and we cannot make any guarantees. Most of our animals come from overcrowded shelters with limited resources. We do our best to evaluate each animal’s behavior and medical needs and place them into loving foster homes until they are ready to go home with you. Our organization is operated entirely by dedicated volunteers who give their time and love out of the goodness of their hearts. ##2650352##

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.

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!

Meet Bailey! Bailey is a sweet, affectionate little guy who lives for walks & would happily head out again the moment you pick up his leash. When he’s home, he’s all about cuddles, closeness, & being near his person. Bailey is currently working on staying calm around other dogs while on leash, & he’s making progress with consistent handling & structure. He’d do best in a home without cats & with someone who enjoys getting outside & then settling in together. If you’re looking for a loyal walking buddy who also loves to snuggle, Bailey is ready to meet you.Apply at Rescuegang.orgDATCP#483538
