thers are expert snugglers. Some are incredibly trainable.
Titus is all of those things wrapped into one amazing dog.
At just 2 years old and 62 pounds , Titus has the perfect balance of energy and affection. He's equally happy joining you for a morning walk, afternoon adventure, road trip, or picnic as he is spending the evening curled up beside you under a cozy blanket for movie night.
After spending several months in a city shelter after being found as a stray, Titus never lost his joyful spirit. Thanks to foster care, he's had the opportunity to show everyone what an incredible companion he truly is—and now he's ready to find the forever family he's been waiting for.
A Dog Who Loves to Learn One of the first things you'll notice about Titus is just how intelligent he is.
He genuinely enjoys training and loves having a job to do. He already knows sit , down , stay , and responds beautifully to commands to go to his crate or bed . Every week his recall becomes stronger, and he can now maintain a hold/stay position even with distractions around him.
Perhaps even more impressive is Titus' exceptional impulse control. Around food, he patiently waits for permission and understands boundaries remarkably well. While he absolutely loves earning treats during training—especially apple slices —what makes him truly special is that the lessons stick. Even without treats, Titus continues to respond reliably because he understands what's being asked of him and genuinely wants to please his people.
His foster family believes he has enormous potential to continue learning and would thrive with anyone who enjoys working with a smart, eager dog. He's the kind of dog who makes training fun because he loves learning and loves making his people proud.
Everyone Is a Friend
Titus has never met a stranger.
People are simply friends he hasn't greeted yet. His tail starts wagging almost immediately, and his happy personality shines wherever he goes.
He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, lives peacefully with cats, and does well with children. One of the things his foster family loves most is how naturally he adjusts his energy to the people and animals around him. He knows when it's time to play, when to settle down, and when someone just needs a gentle companion nearby.
Adventure Partner by Day... Whether it's a neighborhood walk, a morning jog, a hike, a road trip, playing in the backyard, or simply exploring somewhere new, Titus is always ready to go. He's moderately active and enjoys being included in whatever his family is doing.
His favorite adventures aren't about where he goes—they're about who he's with.
...Professional Cuddle Expert by Night When the day comes to an end, Titus happily trades adventure for relaxation.
He loves curling up beside his people, sleeping nearby, and getting tucked under a cozy blanket like a little burrito. He's wonderfully affectionate without being demanding and simply enjoys being close to the people he loves.
Whether you're working from home, watching television, reading a book, or relaxing after a long day, Titus is happiest just sharing the moment with you.
His Secret Weakness? Apples. Titus has discovered that apples are one of life's greatest joys.
During his recent photo shoot, he quickly figured out that every cute pose and perfectly followed command earned him another apple slice. Before long, he was happily showing off his biggest smiles and model-worthy poses in exchange for his favorite snack.
Need his attention? Chances are an apple slice will do the trick!
