My story

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

Meet Alfie!

Age: senior
Weight: 20 pounds
House trained: Yes
Good with: dogs (he lives with two in his foster home) cats/children unknown
Characteristics: Friendly, affectionate, easy going, happy

This friendly and affectionate guy is hoping to find a family that appreciates the finer things in life, like he does. Food in his tummy, a snuggly bed, daily walks and a family to cuddle with are all he really needs. While Alfie can be a bit of a couch potato, if you’re looking to get your steps in everyday, he’d make the perfect walking buddy. In fact, Alfie tends to get very excited when foster mom says it’s time for their daily walks. He has a lot of pep in his step for an older gentleman, and he loves meeting other humans and dogs on walks. While he enjoys doing all the things dogs do on a walk, Alfie also enjoys basking under the warmth of the sun on cool autumn afternoons. So, while a fenced yard isn’t a deal breaker, it sure would be a bonus.
Alberts Dog Lounge may have coined the phrase, “crusty old dog” which fit perfectly with the condition of Alfie’s skin when he arrived in foster care, but medicated baths are making his skin feel a whole lot better. He even has a shine on his coat.
Not only has Alfie been a champ during bath time, but he’s also just as tolerant of the daily eye ointment applications used to treat his one dry eye. It probably helps that he doesn’t have any vision in that eye. But that’s ok, he gets along just fine with one eye. Overall, Alfie is just a laid back, rub my belly type of guy who likes to nuzzle in your lap to show his affection and appreciation of your kindness. Alfie would love for you to come and meet him. We are sure you will be smitten.

*Alfie is being fostered in Whitewater, 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.
