🐾 Meet Titus – Your Future Ride-or-Die🐾
Age:3 years
Breed:Handsome Mystery Mix
Status:Single and ready to mingle 🐶💘
🎾 About Me:
Hi, I’m Titus – a 3-year-old heartthrob with a smile that could melt a glacier and enough love to fill every tennis ball basket in the world. I enjoy long walks in the grass, spontaneous zoomies, and showing off my photogenic good looks (clearly, I slay every photo shoot 📸).
💪 Big Energy, Big Heart:
I’m a strong boy—like, *actually* strong—so I need a confident, capable human who can keep up with me physically and help me channel my energy like a pro. Think of me as your workout partner with four legs and a wagging tail. I do have some hip issues; I am on medication for that!
🐕 Social Status:
I’m dog-friendly with polite, respectful pups who know how to say “hello” the right way. No drama, just playdates and good vibes! Critters smaller than me are all bad vibes in my opinion.
🥩 My Love Language:
* Belly rubs
* Treats (very food motivated!)
* More treats
* Did I mention belly rubs?
🌟 What I Bring to the Table:
* Loyal companion energy
* Big teddy bear vibes (note the teddy stamp of approval 🧸)
* Goofy grin, athletic frame, and a heart full of love
💌 If you’re strong, kind, and have a treat pouch with my name on it, I’m ready to meet you. Come find me and let’s start our forever together! Apply for my love at the link below💕

🚨 Drive-Thru Vaccine Clinic – Weather Update for Thursday 🚨
We want to give everyone a heads-up: please keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates regarding this Thursday’s drive-thru vaccine clinic. Due to extremely high heat index forecasts, we will be evaluating the weather closely.
☀️ If temperatures are too dangerous, we may need to cancel the clinic for the safety of our staff, volunteers, and the community – both two- and four-legged.
While we hope to proceed as planned, your safety is our top priority.
🐾 In the meantime, please remember:
• Always provide plenty of fresh water
• Make sure pets have access to shade
• Be mindful of hot pavement on paws
• Limit outdoor time during peak heat hours
We appreciate your understanding and continued support! 💙

I am so so proud of Colt and I pray he finds the home he so desperately deserves! Please reach out to Jennifer Norman, she is fostering him to teach him all the good stuff you don’t get at a shelter!❤️🙌

For those that consistently support us, we thank you so very much. This is an ongoing crisis that doesn’t seem to have an end in sight , and it’s not just our shelter. It’s everyone . Share a post, donate a dollar, foster an animal if you can. Call your local shelter and ask the best way you can help. Marketing needs are a HUGE help. Grab your teenager and do a photo shoot for a cat or dog. Everyone has a skill that will help an animal. And we need you now more than ever.
