Story
Meet Ken!Ken is a 12-year-old Standard Poodle who is equal parts sweet, silly, handsome, and just a little bit Muppet.This friendly guy loves people, does well with other dogs, and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for an easygoing best friend. Ken is maybe a little bit too interested in cats, so home without feline friends might be a great idea.Ken is housebroken, crate trained, eats well, and has recently had a full medical workup, dental care, and a fresh groom. He’s looking good and officially ready to mingle!One of Ken’s absolute favorite things is simply being outside. Give him a nice yard and a comfortable spot in the grass, and he’ll happily spend hours lounging, watching the world go by. He still enjoys running around and playing in the yard too.Ken does have some anxiety, particularly with thunderstorms, loud noises, and a lot of commotion. He gets supplements to help keep his anxiety manageable, but he would be happiest in a quieter, low-key home. A busy household with lots of noise or young children would likely be overwhelming for him.We are also keeping an eye on some occasional weakness in his feet that could be an early sign of degenerative myelopathy. Sometimes his feet are a little unsteady or he will knuckle, but he is not in pain, and it currently doesn’t stop him from running, playing, exploring the yard, or enjoying his life.At 12 years old, Ken isn’t asking for much. He’d just like a peaceful home, plenty of time outside, someone to love, and a comfortable place to enjoy his golden years. In return, you’ll get a sweet, friendly, wonderfully derpy companion who is impossible not to love.If your idea of a perfect day involves a quiet home, a little fresh air, and a handsome poodle Muppet by your side, Ken might just be your guy.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.
