Sprinkles is the big brother of his family. He is confident and the leader of all adventures. His siblings love following him around and when he’s done protecting, leading, and adventuring, he is ready to be held like the big, loving baby that he is. He loves affection and food as much as he loves climbing new heights. A fun fact: he has black lipstick markings that he likes to show off while being held. He is fostered with his 4 siblings, other foster cats, and 2 dogs. He uses his litter box perfectly and is up to date on all vaccines, etc.

Hi there! The name’s Quarter Pounder with Cheese…yes that’s my full name…but my friends call me QPC or Cheesy. I’m a smaller guy, at about 7.5lbs, but I think I’m a 60lb dog and a fun age of 1.5yrs old. If the name hasn’t hinted at anything yet, I’m kind of a character, in true orange tabby fashion.

I’m very communicative, I’ll let you know when my food dish is 1/2 way empty (not 1/2 full), or if I want fresh water from the shower. And then once those ‘needs’ are met, it’s time to play and help my foster humans do their computer work. I like playing fetch, because I’m a dog at heart and then really love holding my human’s arm or laying on their lap while they do computer things or read.

I’m fostered with dogs of all sizes and I truly believe I am one of them. I like nuzzling into them, running around the house with them, and sleeping near them. I am not fostered with other cats, but I am a pretty chill dude and think I would be just fine with them. Speaking of chill, I ride in the car very well.

Kids? Well, funny story, the day I was brought into rescue, I was found by 5 young girls who were taking turns carrying me around the lake campground and even catching fresh fish for me to eat. I’m unbelievably tolerant of kids and actually find them to be fun to play with.

Litterbox: I’m incredibly trustworthy and oh-so-good at going IN the litterbox AND covering up my stuff… thank you very much!

Background: As mentioned, I was found outside screaming for someone to help me. After 2 months of screaming for help, the neighbors found me to be quite annoying, covered in ticks, fleas, ear mites, and scabs.. while running a high fever. You might say, I wasn’t made to be a wild tomcat, as hard as I tried. I’m not very good at hunting and the person who came to save me (my foster mom) strongly believes I was someone’s loving pet and was dumped. Hence, why I was found being carried around by several small kids, not trapped, like most outdoor cats. I got fixed, vaccinated, and did GREAT at my vet check up. I proved to myself that I’m not a wild feral cat and I quite like the comfort of canned food and soft blankets.

Maple has been with us since October, when he was trapped at 4months old. We weren’t sure if he would ever enjoy human company, affection, or snuggling… but here we are 6months later and he now demands pets, couch snuggle time, and is super goofy in how he asks for it. He will rub up against you, sprint to the couch, lay on his back, and chirp until you notice him and pet him.

Tried bringing Junior to the thrift store to get some fun toys & treats. Yes, this thrift store is AMAZING. He decided that shopping wasn’t his thing (by refusing to enter), so my dear friend did a photoshoot and here he is, a handsome model 🖤

Junior is a foster available for adoption through Dane County Humane Society and is in foster care with 2 dogs and a cat. He has typical 11mo old energy and is very easily redirected, easy to train, eager to learn, and GREAT with reading other dogs' cues. (See original post comments for videos)

Dogs his size and with some energy to play - he is great with running, playing, walking with, and sharing toys, treats, and even bones. Absolutely no resource guarding.
Dogs smaller than him, elderly, or cat - he doesn't understand that they don't want to play. He isn't aggressive with them, but he will keep booping them, play bowing, and might even step on them by accident while trying to entice them to play. He is already learning "leave it" and having a fun time with that. He would do fine in a home with these animals ONLY IF the owner can keep them separate for periods of time or continue to work on "leave it" and redirects. Otherwise, we would probably stress them out if they didn't have a place to retreat to and get a break from him. I have a 3.5lb dog and cat here for reference.
He walks great on leash - we passed cars, dogs, buses, and bikes. He zig-zags on walks, frequently checking his surroundings, but no darting, pancaking, or any major issues. He smells the ground most of the time and enjoys following a confident dog to see where the best smells are. Absolutely no reactivity on leash and has even p**ped and p*ed on walks.
He trail ran amazingly well, he would make a great adventure/camping/running partner
He is silent in his crate overnight and has no accidents at all. He p*es and p**ps first thing in the morning when let out. He whines for about 10mins and eventually settles down with a licki-mat, kong, or marrow bone.
He is SUPER cuddly, a leaner, and thinks he is a lap dog. We have had 2 bonfires with him and he enjoys curling up on a bumper bed (after carrying it around proudly through the yard) next to the fire. If you wanted a 55lb lap dog, he loves to be held and cozy up next to the fire.
He LOVES playing chase with other dogs, fetching stuffed toys and rope toys, or racing another dog to steal their ball while playing fetch. He can get pretty excited if you have a toy in your hand and inappropriately jump (up to 4-5ft all four paws off the ground) and nip for the toy. I would NOT recommend having a kid play fetch with him at this time for this reason, until he can continue to work on "sit" or "all paws on the floor". I do not throw the toy for him until he has all 4 paws on the ground and he is starting to pick it up quickly and will get there, but he is not kid-friendly with the level of training that he currently has and his age - he would absolutely be great in a bit though. He has ZERO resource guarding.
He rides very well in the car. If you don't safely strap him in, he doesn't understand that riding in the driver's lap is unsafe, but once I buckled his leash in, he laid down and slept on the seat.
Favorite enrichment: chewing bones and sticks (loves 'helping' you make a fire), squeaking and shredding toys/ropes, nose-work enrichment toys or simply scattering kibble on the group, human affection is just as exciting as treats most of the time
Shy/nervous: meeting new people with his weight in his back paws, but not barking, whale-eyeing, or keeping distance. Will sniff them and accept treats from strangers. Doorways to go inside (not going outside) are scary, but can be coaxed with treats or having a confident dog go before him
I would definitely recommend another dog in the home or doggy day care or a neighbor dog to play with for him. He absolutely loves playing.

Lots of changes around here: I do not have any fosters right now or for the foreseeable future, I have moved to a different side of town, and this is my new son, Brutus. I’m still not 100% committed to being on here as I navigate some changes in life, but I thought you all could use some cuteness in your life.

Brutus is 9 yrs old, 3.6lbs, sweet as pie, and came to me with a rotten mouth and luxating patellas. He got a dental last week and now has only 4 teeth, so I hand feed him soft, raw patties every meal. He had a consult with ortho this week and we are coming up with a plan for his rear leg that he doesn’t use at all. More updates to come. Love to all

Santa brought a bike trailer for the animals and Biscuit has decided it’s hers. So, whoever adopts her better be ready to take her on all the bike adventures!

I want to desensitize the trailer for the animals, so I put a fluffy dog bed in there, took the wheels off, and lots of fun toys. Safe to say, it’s working well so far. Next: move it while they are in it

When I say that Biscuit is an easy, turn key dog and her resource guarding (that she’s already working on) is the only issue… this is what I mean. She gets along with all dogs outside and sticks close by. She’s going to be an amazing companion animal for someone and this girl has stamina!

11yr purebred sh*tzu, housetrained, good with dogs, good with cats, no kids in home (she loves meeting them on walks), loves snuggling, playing fetch, and going for hikes.

Biscuit loves: meeting new people, snuggling, riding along in backpacks, going shopping with you, and dancing while being held like a baby.

Yes, she resource guards, but she also LOVES a lot of really cool things that other dogs can’t stand or struggle with.

Naomi is 1yrs old and has mild CH and has been adopted out and returned twice now - none of it was her fault. She is with us now and I gotta say that I am just absolutely head over heels about her. She’s completely potty trained, no accidents since I got her on Sunday and climbs the kitten cat tree! She loves to adventure, run, play, and snuggle. She instantly talks to you the moment you walk into the room and purrs when you touch her.

Gracie is working on a very important life skill: cuddling

Apply to adopt Gracie, a 7mo old, 30lb baby girl wild child through Albert's Dog Lounge. She is quite skinny and still growing, so she’ll probably top out at 45lbs. Good with dogs, thinks cats are very exciting (a little too exciting), and is working on house training. She loves going for walks, playing with ALL of the toys, and learning new tricks. Gracie is a high energy, loyal, smart, and food driven dog. She would thrive with a schedule, exercise, and continuously learning new tricks. She rides well in a car, has no leash reactivity (bikes, people or dogs), and is ready for a life filled with adventures.

Gracie’s here and she’s a purebred Airedale Terrier, 7mo puppy, and makes friends with everyone she meets. We just met and she wants to frolick through all the fields together and give out kisses.

She’s available through Albert's Dog Lounge - she is not senior or disabled, she just really needed to hitch a ride and we had an opening on a transport from AL.

Precious is 12yrs old, a cat in a dog body, and arguably the easiest foster we’ve ever had. She’s good with all dogs, completely ignores cats, and is housebroken. She grazes her food and is the definition of chill. She’s looking to live out her life in a steady household that doesn’t host people all that often or are able to set up a cozy room for her to be away from handymen or 1 time visitors. She barks at new people when they enter her home, until she learns that you’re not a threat. She remembers people and once she learns to trust you, she will never bark at you a day in her life. Precious is as sweet and calming as they come with the humans she trusts. She deserves to live her life out with someone who understands and loves her as she’s lost 2 owners now in less than a year.

If it isn’t obvious by now, Star is ALL personality. Now that she’s about 4weeks old, she has mastered quite the variety of facial expressions. She demands to be fed first by charging you, climbing you, and body slamming her singlings (while slapping their eyeballs). And then, she snuggles. Truly an inspiration to express your feelings and then lead with love. We could all learn from her. Love you and your big personality girl

Adoptable Precious was returned to us due to human allergies, no fault of her own. She’s about 11yrs young, queen of the couch, ruler of your world, and incredibly easy peasy (she’s housebroken & has full run of the home). She loves going on walks, playing with doggos, wearing cute clothes, and snuggling. She’s shy at first and would do best in a home without a lot of traffic or busy kiddos. She completely ignores our cat and is just a laid back lady looking to live out her golden years with a special someone. Oh, and she turns into a baby puppy dog at night for about 15mins, doing zoomies around you 😍

Polkas and Nala are the duo you never knew you needed. They are a mom, daughter duo and the perfect combo. Nala is the tan one and 12yrs old, Polkas is the baby white piglet and is 11yrs old. Once Nala is bonded to her human, she is a dedicated lap warmer. She wants to go everywhere you go and takes her job as your shadow seriously. Polkas loves Nala, so where ever Nala goes, polkas follows. So, not only do you get one shadow, but TWO! And no worries, Polkas doesnt need to be on your lap, she actually quite prefers to warm your feet instead. Both love cuddling up into their dog beds, wadding through tall grass, rolling in grass, and food. Polkas is in the mend from a torn ACL and working hard for a sp*edy recovery, nothing to worry about though because she’s with a wonderful rescue. They are very good with all cats and dogs and are looking for a home that will take time to let them adjust in the beginning. They would probably do best without fast-moving children, but have shown several times that they can be ok around them with an adult that advocates for their space. They are p*e pad trained and are silent at night, without any issues.

Batman is a sweet and social 12yr old hunk. He’s about 8lbs, but pretty darn sure he’s a hot shot jock. Deep inside he loves snuggles and naps, don’t tell him I told you so though. Batman is looking for his new best friend to go adventure with and give all the kisses to. He is sweet, he is opinionated, and he is a character. Batman loves chewing on sticks, working on lickimats, rolling in the grass, and going on walks to make even more friends. He is loyal and will make someone feel so unconditionally loved. He recently had his eye removed and is feeling so much better! Someone adopt this one-eyed superhero that is ready to save your broken heart!

Polkas rides so well in the car when given a safe space. That can be a carrier or a bed. She is truly such a delightful car companion.

Anyone looking for a road trip partner? Polkas and her mom Nala are still looking for their forever homes. Tiny and cute!
