Story
Meet Ollie! Breed: Dachshund Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Age: Senior Weight: 14 lbs Foster home: Delavan, WI Activity level: Moderate Friendly with: Dogs and kids (no cats, lives to chase) Sleep style: Not picky, loves to have sleep options Meals: Freeze dried food in AM, raw diet in PM Bark-o-meter: 5/10 Shedding meter: 1/10 Best features: His soft hair or his tongue poking out Favorite season: Any season where he can patrol the yard for critters! Fashion: Pants with suspenders Personality: Adventurous, easy going, independent, determined (LOVES to chase critters), fearless, loves everybody Neutered ✅ Microchipped ✅ Crate trained ✅ Housebroken (belly band would help with initial marking ✅ UTD on vaccinations ✅ UTD on preventatives ✅ Ollie was a former ADL dog who came back to us through no fault of his own. He would do well with other dogs in the home but could be a solo pet in a home that was active and attentive to him. Though he’s a senior, no one has clued Ollie in on that and he’s an active pup who loves to be outdoors. He would do best in a home that likes to spend lots of time outdoors (gardening, hiking, walking), he’s not ready to be a couch potato anytime soon :) Ollie is scheduled for oral surgery on 9/11 and will be able to go to his forever home after. 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. Adoption fee is $300, ($550 for a pair). Learn more about Albert's Dog Lounge, our mission, and adoption policies by visiting Albertsdoglounge.org.

Of Agriculture License Number: 474085-DS NOTE ABOUT AGING A DOG: Aging a dog, based on looking at them, is unreliable and usually inaccurate.

Puppy - Under 6 months Young Adult - 6 months to 2 years Adult - 2 years to 8 years Senior - 8 years to 12 years Golden Oldie - 12+ years

Story
Meet Rocco! Rocco came to CCHS as an owner surrender after his owner's health put them in a position of no longer being able to care for him. This handsome Chihuahua mix is about 9 years old and weighs roughly 14.8lbs currently. Rocco is a polite little gentleman with a shining personality to match! He is a total snugglebug who is ready to be held for as long as you're able! Rocco would benefit from a quieter furever home to spend out the rest of his sassy senior stage with! With any rescue dog, training and socialization are incredibly important to the success of the dog. Apply for Rocco today! You can go to cchs-petshelter.org/applying-to-adopt or bit.ly/CCHSadopt.
