Meet Albert 🤍
📍 New Waverly, TX
🎂 Estimated 6–8 years old
⚖️ 57 lbs
Albert is the kind of dog who quietly becomes your whole heart.
This handsome Bull Terrier is deaf, visually limited, a little medically high-maintenance, and absolutely one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He adores people, loves to snuggle, and would happily spend most of his day burrowed into a blanket or pressed against his person on the couch.
Albert showed up as a stray in rough shape, dealing with skin, eye, and ear issues that are now being managed successfully in foster care. He does require ongoing maintenance, so his forever home needs to be comfortable staying on top of his routine and medical care.
🩺 Albert’s Care Needs
Albert is currently maintained on:
Fluoxetine twice daily
Daily allergy medication
Prescription eye care
Purina One Sensitive Stomach food (he seems sensitive to chicken)
Occasional medicated baths for skin/yeast management
The good news? He’s an excellent patient.
He takes medication easily, is fantastic for baths, and even impressed the groomer recently with how sweet and cooperative he was during nail and hyperkeratosis care. His eye routine requires patience and consistency, but he tolerates it well with calm, confident handling.
🐶 Personality
Albert is affectionate, goofy, gentle, and deeply people-oriented. Despite being middle-aged, he still has playful moments and enjoys toys, puzzles, short walks, and cozy naps in the sun.
He’s dog-friendly but more of a coexistence-type dog than a rough-and-tumble playmate. He has also lived around cats without showing aggression.
🏡 Ideal Home
Albert would thrive in a calm, stable home that:
is committed to maintaining his medical routine
appreciates a lower-key companion
wants a loving shadow dog more than a hiking buddy
He’s crate trained, excellent on leash, and settles beautifully in the home.
❤️ The Bottom Line
Albert isn’t looking for perfection. He’s looking for someone willing to love him exactly as he is—and in return, he’ll give you every ounce of his sweet little heart.
