When you adopt an adult dog you know exactly what you’re getting, unlike young pups whose personality can change by the time they reach adulthood.

Jules is a wise and distinguished Rottweiler mix, and over the last seven years he has learned everything from how to be a good dog to how heartbreaking it is to not have a family or home.

Middle-aged dogs have a lot of offer and Jules is already leash trained, housetrained, and knows many commands. Like boisterous puppies, Jules appreciates a game of fetch in the backyard and going for walks, but unlike the young pups he also appreciates nap time and lounging around the house.

Jules is a loyal canine, who loves his family unconditionally, and he is always happy to be pet, cuddled, or simply rest at the feet of those he loves most. He will eagerly wag his tail and show off his doggie smile when his family comes home at the end of the day, and he never misses the opportunity to share slobbery kisses with those who don’t oppose.

Jules prefers to be the only four-legged companion in his new home, and he would do best with older children who aren’t to rough when they play or pet him.

He is available NOW at the Arizona Humane Society’s Nina Mason Pulliam Campus for Compassion located at 1521 West Dobbins Road in Phoenix. His adoption fee has been reduced to just $35 since he is a Prime Time dog. This fee includes his neuter surgery, vaccines, a colorful collar and leash, an AHS I.D. tag and a follow-up veterinary exam.
