My personality

My story

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

Meet Hank!

Age: Senior
Breed: Golden Retriever mix
Weight: 55lbs
Good with: dogs (selective) and older children (not cat tested but low prey drive)
House trained: yes
Crate trained: does not use a crate, is trusted to free roam when foster is out

Hank is a sweet, shy and gentle soul who is looking for a forever home where he and his stuffies can be loved. Hank can be reserved when meeting new people and requires an adults only home or a home with older children (teens+), he is slowly learning to enjoy affection from humans. He can be dog selective but has enjoyed the company of other calm, lower energy pups and would require a slow intro as they become familiar.

Hank is a typical “Velcro dog” and enjoys being near his people so he prefers someone who is home often. As a 10 year old dog, Hank isn’t immune to some age related concerns. He is a bit hard of hearing and would benefit from glucosamine chews to keep his body feeling its best. He is still happy to join you on adventures and does great in the car, happy to be your travel buddy!

Hank is a laid back pup who enjoys the simple things in life like a cozy dog bed and a chew toy. He’s a perfect gentleman in the home and enjoys snoozing at your feet while you work or relax. He walks well on a leash, but would love a backyard to slowly enjoy playing fetch or to lay in the sun.

Do you have room in your home and heart for Hank?

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.
