Story
Meet Julius Caesar AKA: The cutest tiny dictator Vibe Check: Distinguished senior statesman. Low drama. High cuddle diplomacy. Fun Fact: Julius Caesar is a professional couch potato—but please install guardrails. His depth perception is less "military strategy" and more "abstract art". Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Age: Senior (aged like a fine Roman wine) Weight: 12 lbs of pure imperial elegance Health Notes (All Hail the Honest Scroll): Julius's vision isn’t great, and his hearing may be questionable… or he may simply be choosing peace and ignoring you. Et tu, Brutus? He is on Optimune ($55 per tube) but doesn't mind it. Current Residence: Monroe, WI (far from Rome, but still respectable) Activity Level: Low… except for his daily, non-negotiable Zoomies of the Republic™ Social Skills: Dogs (will politely relocate if play gets too rowdy) Cats Older, respectful kids Loves the ladies, but REALLY loves men. Full-butt-wag allegiance. No judgment—everyone has a type. Sleep Style: Strictly dog beds only. No furniture hopping. No risky jumps. Julius believes in peace, stability, and not falling off things. Dining Preferences: Stella & Chewy’s raw kibble topped with meat, served twice daily. Refined palate. No counter surfing. Knows his lane and stays in it. Bark-O-Meter: 0/10 Julius believes barking is beneath a civilized ruler. Shedding Meter: 0/10 (but yes—regular grooming is required. Great hair doesn’t govern itself.) Fashion Sense: A toga. Of course. Signature Color: Crimson—because it pops against his inky black fur. Extras: Walk-Out Song: "Julius Caesar" by French Montana Favorite Pastime: Sunny day naps on the deck Best Feature: Softest fur ever. Must missing a crown of laurel leaves Signature Move: Locate soft bed → immediate nap Love Language: Car rides on a cozy blanket, lounging near your desk on a plush dog bed, or chewing a marrow bone while you watch TV. If given the option, Julius would chew marrow bones 24/7 without regret. The Final Decree: Julius Caesar is happy, cuddly, and deeply committed to chin scratches—his greatest joy in life. He thrives on routine, sleeps through the night, and is a pee-pad professional on the rare occasion one is needed. In summary: Julius Caesar is ready to lay down his laurel crown and retire directly into your heart. But will he find a home before the Ides of March? Neutered Microchipped Working on potty training. Uses belly bands and pee pads for now. Good on a leash and improving Does not need a crate, just a comfy dog bed UTD on vaccinations UTD on preventatives Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs. Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and then a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $350, ($600 for a pair).

Of Agriculture License Number: 474085-DS NOTE ABOUT AGING A DOG: Aging a dog, based on looking at them, is unreliable and usually inaccurate.

Puppy - Under 6 months Young Adult - 6 months to 2 years Adult - 2 years to 8 years Senior - 8 years to 12 years Golden Oldie - 12+ years Show less
