Story
She loves her crate and takes all meals in the crate, sleeps in it at night, and will often go into it to rest during the day even if she has other options. Likes being in the yard and finding leaves and sticks, but is also happy to be inside. Likes to chew but has not chewed on anything she shouldn't. She will occasionally engage with other toys, although she needs the tougher ones. She walks pretty well on a leash and has done well on walks, hikes, and begrudgingly will go for a short run.  We believe that she would be fine in a home with other dogs as long as she is allowed to be the alpha. Rizzo gets along great with all dogs and Rizzo and Daffy really like each other and play/wrestle constantly. However, she loves people so much that she would be fine as an only dog. (She has never shied away from anyone visiting our house.) On the few occasions we have taken her to the dog park and used the small/separate dog run, she hasn't cared about the other dogs and is more interested in looking for sticks. We believe her ideal home would have a good sized fenced in yard, and someone around more days than not. ##2487343##

Story
Name: Bert Breed: Australian Shepherd Mix Weight: 44 pounds Age: Adult - maybe a very spry senior – he’s not giving away that secret! Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Current Location: Madison, WI Housetrained: yes Crate trained: yes – I love my crate - I sleep and eat there! Bert, or Bertski, or Bertrand, had a not so great past marked by neglect, inadequate food, and minimal human/dog interaction. He’s done with that part of his life and is ready to move on to his best life where he can shower his humans with love, go on outdoor adventures, and sleep on soft warm beds! Things Bert needs/likes: A human/s with experience with working breed dogs. This is a must. Bert is experiencing a lot of new things all at once. He needs structure and guidance from someone who understands the intelligence and drive of these dogs. Bert is curious, smart, and loving. The effort spent training will be paid back in years of unconditional love.. A fenced yard. Bert’s an active boy and needs some safe space to stretch those legs. Snuggling. In addition to being an outdoor enthusiast Bert is a master snuggler. Other dogs after slow introductions. Adult humans with active lifestyles. Going on hikes and long walks. Private dog parks so he can kick out his jams without worrying about those dogs he doesn’t know. Things Bert dislikes/needs to avoid: Picking up: Bert cannot be picked up. He turns into a possessed demon if you levitate him off the ground. This is manageable with a basket muzzle. Bert’s fosters are working on counter training so this might be a thing of the past soon! Kids any age are a no-go. It’s not that Bert doesn’t like them, he likes everybody. But his personality can be too much for the kiddos. Public dog parks – these are way too stimulating. Cats are too exciting for Bert. He doesn’t leave them alone and has paid the price for this pestering. Behavioral considerations: Leash walking: Bert must be walked with a harness. He had an embedded collar when he arrived in rescue. We don’t want to put pressure on his throat/neck. He also pulls on his walks initially, calming down after the initial excitement. Car rides: Bert happily jumps in the car. He can’t wait to see where he might be going! Because of that excitement, he paces if left in the back unrestrained. He prefers to ride in style calming in a crate. “Strange things” on the street: Bert doesn’t seem to know about city noises and activity. He may bark at people on the sidewalk and strange dogs, but he stops when you remind him that his humans will keep him and the house safe. Taking treats: food is so, so good. Bert gets excited by even the most boring treats (I’ve tried Charlie Bears – trust me, they are not great). He tries to put treats in his mouth as fast as possible in case they disappear. He is learning how to take treats gently and like everything else he is learning, he’s getting better every day. Impulse control: Bert can get overstimulated quickly. This is most likely from spending much of his life living outside without much human/canine interaction – okay, he had a dog buddy on the property he was taken from, but that is the only dog he ever interacted with before being rescued (he’s a little awkward). If you have experience with working breed dogs, love to train and build a bond with your best friend, love to hike and snuggle in equal measures, this fun loving, loveable, funny boy might just be the one for you!

Story
My friend got Frankie when she was a puppy in January 2020. I adopted her from him after he told me she attacked his kids (I found out later that his kids were antagonizing Frankie while she was in her kennel). I have been working with her but she does not like children or strangers. When Frankie was with my friend she had gotten loose and when animal control was trying to save her from a river Frankie had bitten him. She will warn before she nips (ears back and growl). She is potty trained, however, She will pee when she is scared (if she is in the same room as the washer/dryer). She would be best with a big yard where she can run around or perhaps even a "job" she can do. She is great with "her people". It takes a little bit for her to get comfortable but once she is, she is happy and full of energy. She loves to play fetch and she loves the snow. She is not food aggressive at all and when. Giving treats will gently take them too. If you have questions feel free to ask.
