Albert is a loving, high-spirited mixed breed, he happens to be Bud’s great pal, the two play together all day in Carol Johnson’s home in Arkansas.  Albert is also one of the lost boys, a Friends Of Homeless Animals lost dog, one of the unadoptables.

Carol says he is something of a devil, he loves to play. He is very active with a lot of personality, he loves to “mouth” people  as a means of play and affection. he is three years old and weights 11 lbs.

He is a heartworm dog, very healthy now.

FOHA has spent more than $1,200 on his medical care, and they are asking for a $650 donation for him to cover some of their costs. If somebody decides to adopt him,  I would consider trying to raise money to pay for him through the blog.

Among all of us, I’m sure we could help if it meant Albert getting a good home, everyone who knows him seems to love him.

He is clear of  his heartworm. He has a tendency to chase cats and Carol says he has an “energetic personality,” which means he can get crazy sometimes. He does love to play with other dogs, and he loves people.

Albert’s story – every dog has a great story at FOHA – is that his original owner tied him up on a short leash all day outside, prompting complaints to Animal Control in the town. One day, his leash broke and he ran off into the woods where his rope got caught on a branch and he was trapped and nearly died of exposure and starvation.

A hiker came across him – he was starving and terrified – and called Animal Control, who seized the dog and brought him to a shelter. His eyes speak volumes about his life.

Carol is fond of this dog, I can tell, but lost dogs are not for everyone.

They are for many, and when you look at dog, it either clicks or doesn’t. If it’s right, a voice goes off in  your head which says “this is my dog, I want to bring him home,” and you do.

If you’re interested in learning more about Albert, you can e-mail Carol Johnson, our guardian angel of lost dogs, at  [email protected].

Evie, one of the lost dogs, and a much harder case than Albert, and she was adopted  earlier today, so I think we’re hot. Empathy and compassion are contagious, the Army Of Good practices both every day.

Not surprisingly, Albert likes attention. I think he’s a good dog, full of love and energy.

Carol says he is bright and easy.
