About Albert

Albert is a bright and affectionate dog looking for his forever home. With his sharp intelligence and gentle demeanor, he’ll quickly become a beloved member of your family. Albert loves to spend time with people, whether he’s resting his head on your lap for affection, watching the world go by through the window, or enjoying playtime with his toys. While Albert’s journey as a Seeing Eye Dog has come to an end due to his difficulty focusing around other dogs, he’s ready to thrive as a cherished pet.
Albert is ready to settle into a loving home where he can share his enthusiasm for life and his big heart with his new family. If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent, and affectionate companion, Albert could be your perfect match

Where I grew up

Albert grew up in a loving home with two adult males, where he developed excellent house manners and a strong bond with his people. He’s well-adjusted to home life and knows to go to the door when he needs to toilet.

A good fit for me is...

Albert would do best with a person or family who is active and can provide him with regular exercise and mental stimulation to match his high energy levels. He would thrive in a home that:

  • Enjoys outdoor adventures and walks to help him expend his energy.
  • Can offer plenty of affection and attention—Albert is a people dog who loves companionship!
  • Has experience with dogs or is willing to continue building on Albert’s training to help him shine.
  • Provides a secure yard for play and exploration.
  • Albert has been around elderly individuals and children, so he’s versatile and adaptable to different environments.

My personality traits

  • Affectionate: Albert loves to show his affection by resting his head on your lap or following you around the house.
  • Intelligent: He’s quick to learn and eager to engage in training and enrichment activities.
  • Independent Yet Loving: While Albert enjoys being near his people, he’s also content with some independent time to relax or play.
  • Energetic: He has lots of energy to burn and loves walks, Kongs, and playing with soft toys.
  • Gentle: Albert is calm by nature but can get excitable and mouthy when he’s very happy.
  • Alert: He may bark occasionally to let you know someone’s around, making him a great companion for someone who appreciates a dog with awareness.
