Story
We adopted Leia about 3 months ago. We were told she is an American bulldog mix. She was an outside dog. She was malnourished and not cared for. Since her arrival. She is the most loveable girl ever. Loves her belly rubs. Will cuddle and sleep with you. Loves attention. Great with kids. Loves walks. Would love to keep her. But she does not get along with other animals. Your home must not have another pet. Before adoption we require information about your home and background. We will not let her go to a home that is not fit for her. There is a $0 adoption fee. We will provide her leash and collars upon adoption. We just want her to have a loveable and happy home. Again no other pets can be in your home.

Story
Vinnie is a 4 year old pit bull terrior who I got from my cousin as a puppy. Due to college I must rehome him. He is a great dog. I am looking for adopters who are active people that like to be outside because that works best for Vinnie. Vinnie loves to go for walks and runs, that being said he needs exercise. He cannot be couped up in a house is whole life without proper exercise. That is a huge worry of mine in this rehoming process. He is afraid of other dogs but not aggressive. He is fine with cats, kids, and new people. He loves people! He does this one flaw....he likes to chew blankets, so keeping them out of his reach is best and keeping chewing bones at his disposal is a must.

Story
Hi there, my name is Slim Jim. Or sometimes it's Bubba. Or Bubby. Or Slimbo. Or Rambo. I have a lot of names. My foster family says I have a big heart, big smarts, and big farts!  I have a big heart because I love lots of stuff, like making new human friends and CAR RIDES. Seriously I have no sense of stranger danger and will try to jump in anyone's car for a ride. I love a good chew treat and cheeseburgers. I love my blankie and sleeping all snuggled up in my crate, so will you please tuck me in every night? I love snuggles and giving kisses, but maybe bigger kids would be best for me because I REALLY get into the snuggles and don't want to accidentally knock a tiny human down. I do NOT love the cold or rainy weather, but I love dressing up in my sweaters and jackets to stay warm! I love butt scratches, tummy rubs, all kinds of adventures, and learning new things.    Speaking of learning new things, I have big smarts in this big noggin of mine! I pick up on new tricks super fast and already know how to sit, lay down, shake, wait, back (to sit in the back seat of the car), cross (the street), and turn left (I'm working on 'right'). I am great at food puzzles, and especially love my snuffle mat. I am crate trained and super polite on my leash when we're out for walks. I even know how to use agility equipment and am learning how to use a doggy treadmill. My recent record is 13 MPH!   My big farts are not so bad if I use a puzzle feeder, because then I don't eat so fast. It's this stubby, snorty nose of mine, I can't help but take in extra air.   There are a few things I don't love, mostly kitties (I want to eat them) and other dogs (they scare me). I take a cheap, daily anxiety medication (cost is under $10/mo) which helps me be more comfortable and my foster family has done a TON of training with me. They are sponsoring a private training session for whoever adopts me, to set me up for success in my new home!    Also, because I have such big smarts I take some things as a personal challenge. Crates and fences, for example. I think they are puzzles to be solved! I need a beefier crate than most dogs and a solid plan to keep me in the yard if I'm off-leash, because if that fence isn't solid like Mount Everest I am outtie! But I don't chew on or damage things in the house, don't worry about that.    I've been waiting for a home of my very own for far too long! So if you're looking for a Very Good Boy who you can have a lot of fun with, please reach out and ask for me, Slim Jim aka Bubba aka Bubby aka Slimbo aka Rambo.         Approximate DOB: 2021 Foster Home Location: Madison    If you are interested in adopting one of our wonderful dogs, you can apply on our website: https://forms.gle/MGakwmFh92UiK9iM6     Please allow several days for us to process your application. We are a small, all-volunteer group and we are doing our best to work quickly! After the application is processed we will make arrangements for you to meet the dog that interest you. All of our dogs are raised in our homes and live with us until they are adopted. They live with us as part of our families so we know them very well and we can help you find your perfect dog!     Our adoption fees:  Adults (up to 7 years): $275 Seniors (8 years and up): $200     All dogs are spayed or neutered, dewormed, vaccinated for rabies, bordatella and distemper, tested for heartworm and microchipped.August 18, 2024, 8:38 pm

Story
Abracadabra Hocus Pocus ala peanut butter sandwiches! My name is Houdini and everything about me is magical! I am an adult American bully mix weighing about 44 lbs, though I could stand to gain just a couple more. Then you will need to always monitor my weight because my legs are a big wonky and deformed and I won’t do well carrying any extra. I will also be prone to arthritis as I get older, so that will be something to consider. I am a sweet little boy who is neutered, up to date on my shots, and loves EVERYONE I meet. My foster mom says older kids would be best for me because my licker never stops, and I can get a bit excited with new people and sometimes jump on them and forget my manners. I am crate trained, housebroken, dog friendly, and extremely agile considering my low rider stance. I have no issues doing a full flight of stairs or even flying into the back seat of an SUV. My foster mom is always impressed by my agility. That said, I really can't do long walks because of my front feet and the way they drag when I walk. Too much and I will wear my toenails down too far and bleed. So, an awesome stroller would be ideal for me if you want to take me places where a lot of walking is involved. I really LOVE toys and stuffies and my dream is to have a home with a hundred billion stuffies I can carry around and play with all day. I am also a pretty good listener and very smart. I just know that I am going to make a family happy, and they will adore me and always get a few chuckles from all my funny noises and my silly antics. Just one last thing though.. I do have some stinky farts! If you can live with that, then I am your man. Just PICK ME! Houdini! Houdini is located in Whitewater, Wisconsin Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.

Jasper is a loving and protective 4 year old male that loves to play with our other dogs. He's very friendly to children and other dogs. Jasper is potty trained and is a great walking / jogging partner. Unfortunately, the reason why Jasper needs to be rehomed is because my wife is allergic to his fur.

Story
Tucker has a big heart and is a protector at his core. Tucker loves to play...but plays rough! Therefore, we recommend a home without kids or cats. He can be hot and cold with other dogs, so it's probably best he be the solo dog also. Tucker absolutely adores women and would love the opportunity to be her knight in shining armor. If you're looking to give this guy a second chance, he's waiting for you and the chance to love again!As great as Tucker is he comes with some work needing to be done. Tucker has collar reactiveness and can guard his kennel. Mainly you are not allowed to walk in the kennel at all when he is in there. An experienced dog owner that has dealt with difficult dogs would be best for him. Tucker was adopted as a puppy and lived with a family for over a year prior to coming back to the shelter. He will need status reduction in the home - no couches, bed...more structure to help him blossom. Ask about him today

Hi I'm Joey, I'm sure Jesse talked about me already, but I'm the handsome one! I was a stray with 3 other dogs in Whitewater and then we came to Lakeland. I'm a bigger boy who does walk pretty well on a leash and more or less mind my own business. I'd prefer a home without other dogs so I can soak up all the attention myself.

Hi I'm Jesse! I came in with 3 other dogs I was hanging with on the streets of Whitewater. We got to take a ride in a police car, yep all four of us together. Joey and I look pretty similar so we could be siblings, but were not talking. I'm kind of big but I do walk well on a leash and have good manners. I don't react to other dogs but I don't want to live with them either. I will make a great companion!
