About Sweet old Albert

Meet Sweet old Albert, a charming little guy with a heart full of love. When he arrived at the pound, he was in rough shape: undernourished and missing fur. Thankfully, he found himself in foster care where he received the care he needed. Now, at an estimated 12 years old, weighing 11.2 lbs, Albert has seen significant improvements. His coat is growing back, and his spirits are high. With all his vaccines up to date, a negative heartworm test, a dental procedure completed, and having been neutered and microchipped, he’s ready for his forever home. Albert is a social butterfly, having gotten along with every dog, cat, and human he meets. He’s reliably house trained, often using pee pads, and loves nothing more than snuggling up with his humans. As a lap dog at heart, he enjoys life in a warm, cozy environment filled with love and cuddles. Although he’s a senior, Albert is still spunky and vibrant, eager to share his golden years with a loving family who will cherish him. If you think Albert could be your next companion, be sure to check out the adoption process today!
