Shadow's Story

Meet Shadow <br/>Nickname: His Royal Highness <br/>Breed: Yorkie mix <br/>Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge <br/>Age: 15 years old (and I still get my 10000 steps in, which for humans would be 5000-those extra 2 legs doubles the number) <br/>Weight: 12 pounds (I am small but mighty) <br/>History: Shadow was surrendered to a shelter in Louisiana and brought up to Wisconsin to find his forever home. We think he was mistreated so he will need a patient adopter so he can discover you are safe.<br/>Medical issues: Stage 2/3 kidney disease that is being managed with food and supplements.  My hearing is not exceptional and I startle when there are loud noises. <br/>Foster home: Whitewater, WI <br/>Activity level: Low to moderate.  I love a good snooze but am always up for a walk and few sets of zoomies in the back yard <br/>Friendly with: adults and older kids.  Other dogs cramp my style and I was being smacked around by a cat at another place so I am not fond of furry felines <br/>Sleep style:  I'm sort of like Goldilocks and like to try out a few select areas before I make my choice for the day.  I will sleep on the bed with you until you fall asleep and then hop to the floor to find my snuggly bed.<br/>Meals: canned Zignature and pork rwbble.   <br/>Snore-o-meter: 0 <br/>Bark-o-meter: 3 (I am quiet most of the time but will howl for a bit when you leave. Once I am comfortable with my house I don't howl because I know you are coming back) <br/>Shedding meter: 4 (I need my soft fur gently brushed and occasional grooming)<br/>Fashion:  I am sure I will explore this further when that stuff called snow starts falling. At that point, as long as it is warm-that's my fashion. <br/>Signature color: Black, of course (see below) <br/>Fun fact: you cannot see me in a dark room or when it is dark outside because I am a ninja! <br/>Walk out song: Go Ninja Go by Vanilla Ice <br/>Favorite season: Autumn (hot weather is nice but a cool Autumn breeze is perfect for napping)<br/>Personality: a bit aloof until I know you are safe, but if you pick up the leash, or are going outside, I will be your best friend <br/>Best feature: I'm cute-I mean look at me! <br/>Loves: racing around the backyard like he's training to break the record for the land speed record, then collapsing so all can bask in his glory <br/>Dislikes: being picked up when I am not ready.  Just because I am portable does not mean you can put me where you want me. I'll get there, just give me a second. Sheesh, what the rush? <br/>Bucket list: shopping for my winter wardrobe (perhaps a Badger or Packer fleece), trying to figure out how I am going to be a ninja in the snow, trips to Culver's for a pup cup and maybe a butter burger-those both have a lot of protein, right? <br/><br/>If taken out every 2-3 hours I'm fine but if you will be gone longer, I wear a diaper and a belly band.  I also wear a diaper and belly band at night in case I cannot get to the door fast enough.<br/>I went to the dentist recently  and left with all my teeth so they are in good shape<br/><br/>Neutered <br/>Microchipped <br/>Takes treats gently <br/>Walks happily on leash and will let you know when he is ready to be done-sometimes gets anxious and needs to run and wants to get back to his yard for a zoomie session <br/>Excellent in car <br/>Roams freely when home alone with a belly band on <br/>UTD on vaccinations <br/>UTD on preventatives<br/>Shadow is a sweet, quiet dog that just wants to be near his person. He loves treats! His teeth are in great shape. He loves a good walk and will go several times a day, as long as it is not too hot. He may be losing his hearing, so he does startle easily if he doesn't know you are there. Please know that he was not well treated in his previous home, so his new humans should be willing to be patient and gentle with him.<br/><br/>Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs. <br/><br/>Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and then a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $300, ($550 for a pair).
