Titus Your Next Adventure Buddy! Titus is an 18-month-old, 83-lb bundle of love and energy! This handsome boy is curious, intelligent, and full of life.

Whether it’s walks, hikes, or any outdoor fun, he’s always up for it! He’d thrive in a home with a backyard and maybe another playful pup to keep him company. He’s also a sweetheart with people — Titus loves attention from children and adults alike and happily soaks up every pet and scratch he can get. He hasn’t been around cats yet, but he’s such a good-natured, fun-loving, and beautiful dog who just wants to be part of a loving home. Interested in meeting Titus?
