His foster mom writes… Julius is great with kids and other dogs. He is definitely a follower and would prefer to be in a house with another dog to play with and follow their lead. He is very playful with other dogs, but will mimic what the other dog does and if that means it’s time to rest, he will rest . He is crate trained. He gets nervous going on walks and is gradually getting more comfortable going further from the house and the yard he knows. He needs a home that has a lot of patience for him. He is house trained, but still has three accidents or so a week in the house. He understands sit and come.

He would do best in a home with another dog & definitely prefers women, he’s a little fearful of men. But with time & patience he might come around. 
—————-

Julius, his six siblings and their mom were all found as strays in a neighboring city. While we couldn't immediately take them in due to space limitations, we were able to get them started on their required vaccinations, de-wormings and other care thanks to a very compassionate woman who agreed to foster them until space did become available. Their mom (picture included with this profile) is a very friendly, small bulldog, weighing only 30lbs. We have no idea who the dad was, but by looking at the pups, we'd have to say he was some type of Shepherd breed. 

Julius has a very sweet, calm personality. He's not timid at all, but is more so on the submissive side. He has no fear of people, loves to be held and snuggle up onto the lap of whoever he encounters and is very playful with other pups. Still, we think he'll do best in a home without very young children as he does tend to shy away from excessive noise or commotion. He will still make a wonderful addition into just about any home, especially one with other dogs.

Julius has received his first year "puppy" vaccines, been de-wormed at proper intervals and started on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. He will require house and leash training. His adopter must agree to having Julius neutered once he reaches the appropriate age (typically 6 months) and supplying SoCo with verification of such.
