My personality

My story

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

Meet Hershey!

Age: Senior
Weight: 46lbs
Breed: Shar Pei mix
Good with: dogs and kids (not cat tested)
House trained: Yes, also wears a belly band when left alone for prolonged period of time
Crate trained: Yes
Special needs: Regular ear cleanings to avoid infections

This pup is sweeter than chocolate! Hershey is a great mix of introvert and extrovert, enjoys meeting new people and animals but is happy to then take a nap in his favorite cozy spot. He's currently fostered in a fun home with lots of other dogs, goats and chickens! He has not been cat tested but has also zero prey drive, so his foster suspects he would be fine with kitty siblings too. Kids are great and he would enjoy living in a home with older kids, especially if they know how to give him treats!

Hershey is up for anything, just happy to be your sidekick or relax close by. He is well mannered and knows basic commands. He is dog friendly, but prefers slow intros with bigger dogs and he's not afraid to be clear about his boundaries. He's great on car trips so happy to tag along to dog friendly places, enjoying getting to say hi to everyone. He's then happy to come home for a snooze!

Hershey is great on a leash, but would also enjoy a yard of his own. He's looking for a family that can appreciate how sweet he can be and is ready to welcome him with open arms, could this home be yours?

Hershey is fostered in the Cottage Grove, WI area

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.
