08/21/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
08/21/16 12:39 Julius was found in the park with another dog and brought into the ACC by police. The other dog was taken into the police car first and police say be became nervous and growled when she was gone, so they put him in a crate to transport him. At the ACC, Julius presented with loose body and open mouth. He sat on command for pictures and allowed for collaring.

08/25/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: “Smoldering” isn’t the first word you normally use to describe a pup. In fact I almost feel silly using it. But the fact of the matter is, silly is just the way I feel around Julius. And that’s the reason why. Brought into our care along with a female companion, Julius is about as handsome as they come. That silver coat that hints of brown when the sun hits it right, that artfully speckled nose, and those eyes… They say eyes are the window to the soul and from where I sit, Julius’ soul is a work of beauty. “Cool” is another word not often applied to Man’s best friend. But cool is exactly Julius is. Walking alongside him on the street (he trots next to me like any gentleman would), you feel as if a soundtrack should be playing overtop you (perhaps The Ramones?), both of you rocking old-school Ray Bans, maybe a cigarette hanging from the lip (preferably yours). There is an air about him – calm, composed, and so very self-possessed – that’s unusual for a pup of only three years. Or for a pup at all. “The James Dean of dogs,” I surreptitiously call him. Then feel silly all over again. Julius takes his treats gently, appears to be housebroken, and showed no reaction to passing pups on our walk. It was noted that when Julius was first found with his female companion by police, he growled when she was taken from him and placed in the police car. I can’t be surprised. Ever the protector, our James/Julius didn’t like losing sight of his girl (swoon) and who can blame him? Yes, Julius is smoldering, cool, handsome, composed, regal, and self-possessed. A not-so rebellious rebel with a cause: to win your heart. Julius is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan’s ACC.

08/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Julius came to the care center as a stray so his history in a home is unknown. Upon intake, he had a wagging tail and loose body. On his relief walk, Julius pulled a bit. When in the assessment room he appeared reserved. He held the assessor’s gaze during Look, body a bit tense, tail down. During Sensitivity, he stood still, mouth closed, body a bit tense. For Tag, he followed at the end of the leash. He pulled back his paw quickly on both Squeeze attempts and he licked the assessor’s hand. He displayed minimal interest in the Toy away, sniffing it. When approaching another dog on leash at the care center, Julius approached with tail above spine level, body a bit stiff. The Behavior Team recommends that Julius be placed in an Experienced home. He would benefit from a slow approach and slow introduction. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is stiff and fearful; his tail is low and not moving. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is low, body stiff, mouth closed. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, a bit fearful. Squeeze2: 1. Dog quickly pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. Minimal interest. Dog sniffs toy. Dog to Dog: When approaching another dog on leash at the care center, Julius approached with tail above spine level, body a bit stiff.

08/23/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When introduced off leash to another dog in the care center, Julius is fearful in the yard and approaches slowly. He sniffs the greeter dog when they turn away. He then roams and keeps to himself. Julius arrived into our care as a stray, so there is no available history of previous interaction with other dogs. The behavior team feels that Julius should be allowed time to acclimate to life outside the shelter environment as the only resident dog, before following up on his/her behavior around them.
