Story
Meet Carmy! Age: Adult Weight: 50 pounds Housetrained: yes Crate trained: I don't do well in crates and the stress of being in one makes my tummy upset. Good with: Dogs, cats, kids (I love the kiddos!) Special needs: I have separation anxiety, so I take meds to help me feel better I'm a super happy and energetic boy and I love my humans so much! My favorite thing ever is to be outside with you – whether we are going for a walk around the neighborhood, a hike in the woods, or playing fetch in the yard. An active forever family would be so much fun! I like to play tug of war, chew on bones, solve brain games, and shake my favorite stuffies. I am super smart (maybe a little too smart sometimes), so I love to learn new tricks for treat rewards. I'd enjoy having other furry friends in my forever home, so I don’t get too lonely when you are gone. I love to wrestle and chase my dog friends and I like to cuddle with my cat friends (if they let me).    Since I have separation anxiety, I'll need my medication and an understanding family that is willing to work with me as I get used to their routine. In my foster home, I am now comfortable being home by myself for up to 8 hours during the daytime, but it took me several weeks to work up to that much time alone without being stressed.   I'm a pretty quiet dude, but I do bark and jump up when I get really excited – mostly when we are about to go outside for a walk. I’ve been working on my listening skills when I’m excited or distracted and I am getting better! Treats help :) I’m a big cuddler, but, fair warning, I will take up all your personal space on the couch or bed because I like to snuggle close. I can’t wait to find a forever family that is willing learn and grow with me. I promise to pay you back with lots of love and kisses! Carmy is fostered in the Madison, WI area.

Meet Charlotte! Age: Adult Weight: 48 pounds Breed: bulldog/pit mix (DNA test pending) Good with: Excellent with cats and dogs, does not live with children House/crate trained: yes Special needs: home with limited stairs, currently on medication that will need to continue for foreseeable future. Currently in physical therapy. Foster location: Menomonee Falls Charlotte is a sweet, easygoing pup who is happy to be leaving her past behind and enjoying the good life now that’s she’s become an Albert’s dog! Charlotte is dog and cat friendly and is enjoying all of the people she has met. She initially gets excited/jumpy when meeting groups of people but is working on settling quickly, she just loves to visit with people! She is house and crate trained and enjoys going on walks where she can show off her leash skills. Charlotte loves snoozing in warm spots and will continue to move throughout the day to ensure she’s napping in warm sunlight, such a cozy girl! Charlotte initially came into Albert’s care with skin issues/allergies and a bum leg. She has responded well to allergy meds as we identify the source of her allergies. She is currently taking pain meds to ease her leg pain and has recently started physical therapy. It is not yet determined what the next steps are for her leg but Albert’s continues to investigate what’s best for Charlotte and she’s taking her meds and PT like a champ. Charlotte is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. Shes calm and chill in most environments. She’s such a friendly and happy pup with so much love to give. She loves all the people she meets and loves going on adventure. She’s great in the car and is happy to ride shotgun. Is she the friendly, happy buddy that you’ve been looking for?

Story
Meet Pickles! Age: Senior Weight: 60 lbs Good with: dogs and kids (not cat tested) House trained: yes Crate trained: yes Fostered in: Lake Geneva, WI Special needs: Glucosamine supplement Are you looking for a snuggle buddy to keep you warm this winter (and going forward)? Miss Pickles may be the gal for you! Also known by her foster family as “Mama Dilly”, Miss Pickles is a 60 pound Pit Bull mix who is the sweetest, most gentle lovebug you could imagine! Her life got off to a rough start down in Tennessee; she was kept outside on a chain in a small, wooden shack. While there, she sustained some damage to her left eye and developed a large mammary tumor. The kind folks at Animal Control took her into their care, and both her bum eye and tumor were removed. Unfortunately the tumor was deemed to be a moderate to higher grade mast cell tumor. While metastasization in the future is a possibility, she currently is not experiencing any symptoms and is looking forward to living the rest of her life to its fullest! Miss Pickles is a little bit.... fluffy. She could stand to lose a couple of pounds. She has some stiffness in her back legs and takes a glucosamine supplement to help; but that may improve on its own after a bit of weight loss. This sweet girl gets along with dogs of all sizes. Cats are currently unknown. She loves chewing on bones (and sometimes on shoes and blankets!), and her most favorite thing is snuggling on the couch. She is potty trained and never has accidents in the house. She is fine with being crated and sleeps perfectly through the night. If you give this lovely gal a second chance at life, you will not regret it - she will pay you back in love and snuggles!

Story
Name: Aspen BoyBreed: Pittie MixDOB: 5/21/24Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location: Fitchburg, WIAdoption fee: $325Fun Bio: Hi, I’m Aspen! I am a lively 8 month old puppy and I'm still learning a lot about the world but I'm picking up on things quickly! I'm mostly potty trained but you may want to expect some accidents as I transition into your home. My foster parents put bells on the back door so I can politely tell them I need to go out but I haven't mastered them just yet. Due to my past living with an aggressive dog, I have learned to resource guard my favorite person (not food or toys) but my foster mom believes I can be trained out of this behavior because I'm so smart and sweet otherwise. We highly recommend a home with no dogs or only one other dog but they should stay mostly separated or highly supervised until my resource guarding is under control. I've never met a cat before. I really love to play fetch (but will eventually destroy the tennis ball). I get super wiggly and love to bounce around when I want something. When it's time to settle down I'm a master at cuddling and I'm very good in a crate at night.  If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.  We will likely not respond to interest emails regarding puppies and/or kittens, we get so many "interest" emails that we simply do not have the time to respond to each one.  We always recommend crate training, positive reinforcement training, exercise, playtime, and a regular schedule for potty breaks when bringing a new dog/puppy into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time!Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm testing, deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip. ##2294550##
