My story

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

Meet Cledus!

Age: senior
Weight: 55 pounds, but I'm working on gaining weight in a healthy manner
House trained: yes- but will benefit from a belly band in the first couple days in a new environment.
Crate trained: yes- I happily go in my crate with just a few snack-o's
Good with: Dogs of all sizes (I basically ignore small dogs and will play with other large dogs), cats unknown, older kids who can help me become my best self!
Requirements: at least a 5ft fenced-in yard. I'm a hound dog and like to sniff and follow my nose, so having a secured yard will keep me safe!

I love being outside, and since I was a stray for a period of time, that's where I feel comfortable. I come to you from the south, and many times, dogs like me live outside all the time, so it's no wonder I like being out there. My first experience as a family dog was likely when I got rescued! Can you believe it? A handsome guy like me, not a family dog! Well, it's all changed and I'm learning what inside life is like! Just the other day I got up on the bed to sit with the other dogs for the first time. I think the smells in the kitchen are glorious, and sometimes I just want to see where the smell is coming from so I put my paws on the counter. I am learning that's not a wanted behavior when foster mom tells me I have to get down, and then she put a gate up in the doorway so I can't get in the kitchen. Speaking of food, I eat by myself if other dogs are around or I try to steal food from them, and remember, I have to gain weight, but in a healthy way. And respectfully. But I'm never mean when it comes to food. I also recently learned what toys are! Man, they're FUN! I even play with them all by myself. I really enjoy head rubs and will paw at you to keep petting me until I'm satisfied. I never knew affection from humans could be so great! Now I'm looking for my forever humans that will show me love for the rest of my days. I hope you are the lucky one to bring me into your family!

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.
