My personality

My story

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

Meet Dolly!

Age: Adult
Breed: Lab mix
Weight: 60 lbs
Good with: Kids, dogs, cats
House trained: Almost!
Crate trained: No, but not needed
Special needs: Epilepsy

Dolly is a sweet and lovable adult BREED pup who just loves to be with her people. In addition to adults, Dolly loves kids, dogs, and cats. In her foster home, she thinks the horse is pretty neat but is unsure of those not-dogs with spears on their heads (we call them goats, Dolly) This affectionate pup loves to play with the family and pets in her foster home, but is happiest when she’s cuddling. Dolly has really blossomed in her foster home, becoming playful and learning the joys of being a treasured pet.

While Dolly is learning about how great it is to be an Albert’s dog, she certainly had a rough start in life. Dolly was bounced around quite a bit and is looking for some consistency in her life to continue to improve her house manners and potty skills. She is a quick learner and eager to please (plus very food motivated)!, so additional training sessions would only continue to build her confidence. Dolly is considered a special needs pup due to her epilepsy, though this is very well managed with pills she takes twice a day and does not affect her quality of life (of dampen her mood).

Dolly is just a happy love bug. She walks well on leash and has excellent recall. She has a great energy level, always up to walk or play, but happy to cuddle. Don’t try to tell her she isn’t a lap dog, she just won’t believe you 🙂 She loves to snuggle up to her fosters at night and is certainly dreaming of a home of her own. She’s been waiting for her forever family to find her, could that be you?

Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.

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.
