My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Top Hat is a one-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his paws and a spirit that refuses to quit. After surviving a traumatic accident, this handsome boy has shown just how resilient and sweet he truly is. Despite everything he’s been through, Top Hat remains extremely bright, alert, responsive, and eager to enjoy life.
Top Hat is currently healing from a jaw fracture and a few lacerations that are well on their way to recovery. He’s eating, drinking, and taking his medications like a champ, and his veterinary team reports that his prognosis is good. He’s on some temporary activity restrictions and wears a soft muzzle while his jaw finishes healing, but this is all short-term care with a clear recheck date in January.
Behavior-wise, Top Hat is described as sweet, active, and affectionate, with no behavior concerns noted. He’s still young and will benefit from a calm, supportive home that can help him rest, heal, and continue building confidence as he grows into the loyal, devoted companion Anatolian mixes are known to be.
Top Hat would do best in a foster or adoptive home that’s comfortable following post-injury care instructions for a few more weeks. In return, you’ll be rewarded with a grateful, gentle giant-in-the-making who’s ready to leave his rough start behind and begin his next chapter surrounded by love.
