In Our Care
​Seymour
Seymour, a 3-year old, 65 lb American Bulldog/Hound mix, joined the APL family after finding himself in the same shelter he landed as a puppy. He was adopted out at that time but when he came back, he was a completely different dog.
The shelter found that he had been severely abused with a partially healed fracture of his back leg. They refused to return him to his previous owner. He came to us to receive an important surgery to fix his leg and live in a home environment versus a shelter environment.
Seymour will be a long term resident with us. He is learning how to trust again and participating in weekly training sessions to help with this.
Louise

15-year old Louise "Lou" came to us from a local shelter, after being being surrendered by her elderly owner. It breaks our hearts to see senior dogs who have known only one family their entire lives, find themselves in the shelter system. We had to go get her! During a medical eval at our vet, many lumps and bumps were noted, one being particularly concerning. Lou was taken to UW Madison Veterinary Clinic where they confirmed she has melanoma. Her mass was successfully removed and she was provided with a breakthrough melanoma vaccine to help prevent reoccurrence. Lou will spend the rest of her days in her loving foster home where she is cherished and living her BEST life!
Chloe
We originally welcomed sweet 7 year old, Chloe, from an overcrowded shelter back in March, 2023. Chloe is extremely shy and fearful of people (more so of men) and has been since we first met her. Her original foster family recognized this and decided to adopt her. After one year in her home, her family surrendered her back to us after her and her fur sister began fighting. We strategically placed Chloe in a foster home with no men and no other dogs, to help her heal emotionally. Chloe loves and trusts her foster Mom and has been working on her confidence with our trainer for months. She is comfortable with her new life and has successfully met several dog friends! Chloe will be a long term APL resident and we're okay with that. We love her so much and truly want what's best for her.
