What it says it does

Alberts Dog Lounge is a foster-based dog rescue focused on providing loving home to seniors special needs and hospice dogs. We provide assistance to dogs in need from overcrowded shelters and also from local families who are no longer able to provide adequate care for their pets. Alberts Dog Lounge was established in 2017 with the vision to be the steppingstone to a new life for those dogs who are less likely to be rescued adopted or at a higher risk of euthanasia.
