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

Let’s be honest: every woman loves a good chocolate, and Hershey is the sweetest of them all!

This good boy is the most delicious mix: low key couch potato at nap time meets social butterfly when it comes to meeting new people and animals! He is currently staying in an amazing home with lots of dogs, goats, and chickens, and he has zero prey drive, so we believe he would be fine with cats, but he has not been specifically tested.

Hershey loves his human foster sisters, and could thrive in a home with kids to play with him, pet him, and share treats. He is a well- mannered gentleman, and is wonderful with other dogs, but prefers slower intros with big dogs. He will tell bigger dogs if they are too familiar too quickly, but is not mean about it. If you are looking for a co-pilot, this precious boy is your man! He is the very best on car rides and enjoys time at dog friendly places. He is a treat on leash!

The only real drawback to Hershey is that dog beds have exploded a couple times around him. He has reported that he has no idea how or why this happens, but he is so glad you’ve come home to protect him from it happening again! He does believe that the fluffy white stuffing is a beautiful holiday decor touch.

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.
