My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Karley!

I'm a quiet little, 7lb adult chihuhua mix who loves to cuddle! I am dog friendly with other mellow pups (have not been cat tested) but prefer a mellow home that is free of young children and lots of activity. My most favorite thing to do is nap and then work on my chew toy when I wake up. Short walks are ok but sometimes the outside world can be a little scary. However, I do enjoy having a fenced in yard and love hanging out in the sunshine. I have been doing really well going potty outside when on a consistent schedule. Sometimes though I need a little help getting outside or some patience using potty pads inside if the outside is intimidating at the moment. My confident foster siblings help me feel safe and I take cues from them so other friendly small dogs are important for me. I'm a little gal looking for the perfect home where I can feel safe and blossom.

Since I’m so tiny and sweet, I can find new things and loud noises a bit scary but I just need time to feel comfortable and more confident. I definitely prefer females and need a lot of time to warm up to men, so would need any men in the home to be extra patient with me. Once I’m familiar with the people and pets around me my real personality comes out. I need a family that will be patient and understanding and let me do this on my time and when I’m ready. I am a stubborn little girl and do not like to be pushed.

Once I’m comfortable I can show you just how playful and sweet I can be. My foster mom says I am the easiest dog in the world to love. I know my ideal home is out there and looking for me too. Is that home yours??

*Karley is being fostered in Milwaukee, WI.

Additional adoption info

Albert's Dog Lounge is a foster-based rescue providing compassionate care to special needs, senior, and hospice dogs.

Our adoption process begins with a completed application. From there, we will review references and vet records. The next step is a home visit with your family. This visit may be in person or virtual.  At that point, if approved, we will set up a meet and greet with available dogs.

All dogs have an adoption fee of $275 for a single dog or $500 for (bonded) pair, unless otherwise noted.

Note: Pairs must be adopted at the same time to get the reduced adoption fee.​

-Applications with incomplete information will not be processed.
- All current dogs in the home must be spayed or neutered, up to date on rabies vaccination, up to date on DHLPP, up to date on Heartworm testing and preventative.
- All cats in the home must be spayed or neutered and up to date on a rabies vaccination or wellness exam.
- None of our dogs will be adopted to prospective owners who mislead or fail to provide accurate information on the adoption application and/or the adoption contract. Albert's Dog Lounge reserves the right to refuse adoption to anyone.
- You must agree that if you are no longer able to keep your rescue dog for whatever reason, the dog will be returned to Albert's Dog Lounge. The adopter must agree to never attempt to sell or rehome the dog at any point.

Our goal is to place our seniors into permanent, loving homes for the rest of their golden years.

More about this rescue

Albert's Dog Lounge is a foster-based rescue focused on providing loving homes to seniors, special needs, and hospice dogs. We help dogs in need from overcrowded shelters and also from local families who are no longer able to care for their pets.

Albert's Dog Lounge was established in 2017 with the vision to be the stepping stone to a new life for those dogs who are less likely to be rescued, adopted, or at a higher risk for euthanasia.
