Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Willie (Little Willie Willie won’t go home)
Breed: ChiChi mix
Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge
Age: Senior
Weight: 17 lbs
Fun fact: a young girl insisted I lost my eye in a battle with a cheetah. I’m pretty sure that’s not what happened, but 🤷🏼♀️
Foster home: Fitchburg, WI
Activity level: Medium/ High, I love interaction and play.
Friendly with: dogs, but would do well as an only also. Greets cats with a wagging tail and appropriate interaction
Sleep style: dog beds during the day, his crate at night….. but he would love to sleep with his human!
Meals: Breakfast: 4 raw nuggets (Northwest Naturals). The rest of the day he is free fed like my dogs on a combo of Farmina ancestral grains (lamb) and Taste of the Wild ancestral grains (bison and venison) with salmon oil on it.
Gets supplements for allergy and gut health (WinPro Pet) Gets "cookies" as rewards (locally made dog treats)
Snore-o-meter: 0
Bark-o-meter: 3, barks when someone comes to the door
Shedding meter: 4
Favorite season: Summer, he's a southern boy and this northern climate is a tad chilly. He likes to nap in the sun.
Personality: Spunky, resourceful, and affectionate
Best feature: His loyalty and affection, his sleek shiny body and his zest for life!!
Walkout Song: "Happy" by Pharrell Williams because he is always smiley and wagging his tail, he LOVES life.
Signature color: purple, because it pops against my gorgeous fur
Signature style: Hawaiian shirts: He's hanging up the skull and crossbones pirate life and looking for a new crew. Director of shenanigans on a cruise ship sounds nice, or teaching the youngins to sniff out buried treasure.
Needs: Someone who is willing to give me all the love and attention I crave!
Loves: HE LOVES the dog park, running and sniffing and chasing/ being chased by his foster sister makes him smile really big!
Spayed
Microchipped
Walks well on a leash
Excellent car rider
Does well in a crate, but I behave and really don’t need to be in one.
UTD on vaccinations
UTD on preventatives
Housebroken - Yes

NOTE ABOUT AGING A DOG: Aging a dog, based on looking at them, is unreliable and usually inaccurate. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality and their needs.
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.
