Story
Hi I`m Joey, I`m sure Jesse talked about me already, but I`m the handsome one! I was a stray with 3 other dogs in Whitewater and then we came to Lakeland. I`m a bigger boy who does walk pretty well on a leash and more or less mind my own business. I`d prefer a home without other dogs so I can soak up all the attention myself.

Story
Hi I`m Jesse! I came in with 3 other dogs I was hanging with on the streets of Whitewater. We got to take a ride in a police car, yep all four of us together. Joey and I look pretty similar so we could be siblings, but were not talking. I`m kind of big but I do walk well on a leash and have good manners. I don`t react to other dogs but I don`t want to live with them either. I will make a great companion!

Story
Meet Carmy! Age: Adult Weight: 50 pounds Housetrained: yes Crate trained: I don't do well in crates and the stress of being in one makes my tummy upset. Good with: Dogs, cats, kids (I love the kiddos!) Special needs: I have separation anxiety, so I take meds to help me feel better I'm a super happy and energetic boy and I love my humans so much! My favorite thing ever is to be outside with you – whether we are going for a walk around the neighborhood, a hike in the woods, or playing fetch in the yard. An active forever family would be so much fun! I like to play tug of war, chew on bones, solve brain games, and shake my favorite stuffies. I am super smart (maybe a little too smart sometimes), so I love to learn new tricks for treat rewards. I'd enjoy having other furry friends in my forever home, so I don’t get too lonely when you are gone. I love to wrestle and chase my dog friends and I like to cuddle with my cat friends (if they let me).    Since I have separation anxiety, I'll need my medication and an understanding family that is willing to work with me as I get used to their routine. In my foster home, I am now comfortable being home by myself for up to 8 hours during the daytime, but it took me several weeks to work up to that much time alone without being stressed.   I'm a pretty quiet dude, but I do bark and jump up when I get really excited – mostly when we are about to go outside for a walk. I’ve been working on my listening skills when I’m excited or distracted and I am getting better! Treats help :) I’m a big cuddler, but, fair warning, I will take up all your personal space on the couch or bed because I like to snuggle close. I can’t wait to find a forever family that is willing learn and grow with me. I promise to pay you back with lots of love and kisses! Carmy is fostered in the Madison, WI area.

Story
Meet Leena! Age: Senior Breed: Pittie mix Weight: 56 lbs Good with: dogs, cats, kids House trained: yes Crate trained: trusted to free roam when foster is out Roll out the red carpet because this perfect pittie(mix) princess is on the search for her forever home!! Leena is a senior (8-12 year old) gentle soul. Leena doesn’t mind kiddos, cats, dogs, adults, you name it!! She’s a lowkey gal that loves the finer things in life like naps, a Sunday cruise, and sniffaris. This senior lady would be a perfect fit for a home who doesn’t want any puppy nonsense: no chewing on socks, peeing on the carpet, or needing constant attention with this lovely lady. Leena is a great listener who will go with the flow, it’s even better if the flow is slow and calm. This happy lady doesn’t need a crate and doesn’t mind when you’re gone at work. She is excellent on a leash. Her recall is great, when she can hear you. This senior girl has some trouble hearing, so you would just need to work on getting her attention. Sometimes she gets little burst of energy and insist on playing fetch. Leena will let you know she needs to go potty by whining or going to the door. She will also let you know when she wants to go back in with a bark reminder. Leena has had quite the past. We don’t know everything, but we promise her future is bright and full of all the love she deserves. Leena is looking for someone who is patient, kind and doesn’t mind sharing their favorite couch or chair. What do you say? Need a cuddle buddy? House hippo? Couch potato? Pittie princess? Sunday cruise Partner? Leena can’t wait to meet you!! Leena is located in the Janesville, Wi area Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.

Story
Meet Henry! Age: senior Weight: 63 pounds Good with: kids, cats, dogs (I love EVERYONE!) House/crate trained: yes. I haven't had any accidents in my foster home, and foster mom tosses a treat in my crate and I just walk right in. Special needs: he has seizures and recently started on medication that helps a lot. Hello! Were you looking for me? Funny enough, I have been looking for you too! My name is Henry, and I am dapper and refined, with the manners of a well bred gentleman, and a beautiful smile. I love my humans (my humans, your humans, short humans, tall humans.... ALL humans) Favorite things: snuggling, Christmas trees, adventures in cars (though you might need to give me a boost up or help me use a ramp), going shopping, giving kisses, meeting new people, and naps. I do not run away from home, but my recall is not great, so I really should have a fenced yard or walk on a leash for my sniffari adventures. Dislikes: Politics, pumpkin pie without whipped cream, the dynamic kickoff rule, dry turkey, and anyone who is unable to correctly use there, their, and they're. I currently live with two Chihuahuas, so you know I am totally fine with bossy, barky and demanding. I will fit perfectly into any home that has a soft spot to snooze and love to give me. I want nothing more than to be home for Christmas. Can you help me with that? *Henry is being fostered in Green Bay, WI.

Story
Meet Blair! Age: Senior Weight: 60 lbs Breed: Good with: dogs (her size or larger), no cats and no small children or dogs House trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Blair is a sweet and loving pup who craves attention from her people, she’s quick to roll over for belly rubs and always eager to cuddle. Age is just a number for Blair, she has lots of energy and her ideal home is active and looking for an exercise buddy! She’s such a smart pup too, enrichment activities will be important to keep her busy as well. Blair is great with people and other dogs and has never met a stranger (canine or human). She is eager to play with her canine foster siblings and they are teaching her corrective actions when she’s getting a little too excited. It’s important for Blair to be in a home without small dogs, she does best with dogs that match her size and energy level. Blair would thrive in a home has an only dog, or with other mellow, older dogs.Blair LOVES giving kisses to both humans and dogs, so a home that is tolerant of her affection is necessary :) Blair is working on her leash manners, she’s very strong and enthusiastic on walks so consistent leash training is important. She could also benefit from a yard as she learns more leash skills, but it’s not a requirement. This loyal, cuddle buddy is looking for a BFF to keep her active and loved. Could that be you?

She is house and crate trained and enjoys going on walks where she can show off her leash skills.

Story
Meet Chariot! Age: Puppy Weight: 14lbs (estimated to be 25-30lbs when grown) Breed: Pittie Mix Good with kids/cats/dogs: lives with dogs and cats (will occasionally chase), kid friendly too House/crate trained: She is able to use the bathroom independently however is not housebroken and wears diapers and hangs out on washable puppy pads on her own. Special needs: Chariot was born with scoliosis and has paralyzed back legs. She has a wheel chair she gets along great in and a drag bag to flop around the house. Chariot was born with a congenital heart defect that her cardiologist does not believe is affecting her. She may require a recheck in a year just to be thorough. Where foster is located: Milwaukee WI Chariot is a friendly and spunky pup who is still just a happy puppy. She is both dog and cat friendly, but will occasionally try to chase the cats in her foster home. She LOVES all the people she has met (all ages) and loves to play just as hard as she naps. She loves all the attention, fuzzy beds and toys that she can find and is looking to be just as spoiled in her forever home. While Chariot is a sweet puppy, she is overcoming some physical challenges. She suffers from scoliosis and this causes her to require a wheelchair (provided to her forever family) or use a drag bag. She is still able to get around and play. Disability experience is not required but dedication is. Her forever family is not only comitting to her cuteness, but also her disability. She will require ongoing care and potentional expenses as she grows. Her family will be so lucky to get to enjoy such a sweet and friendly pup, could you be that family?
