Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet TITAN! Titan is an (approximately) one-year-old Anatolian Shepherd/Pyrenees mix (confirming DNA is pending for those seeking a working dog)! This poor boy has been moved around 5 times in the past 3 months before reaching our rescue and we just can’t figure out why?? He even ended up on the euthanasia list in TX and our friends at @nationalanatolianshepherdrescuenetwork found him and saved him! He is the smartest, sweetest, goofiest, bestest boy! He is fully potty trained (will use a bell or use his nose to point at the door knob to the outside), knows some basic commands, is very loyal and wants to be with his foster as much as he can! He is super friendly with all people he meets, loves other dog friends and when seeing cats (and wild bunnies) doesn’t seem all that interested. He has not been observed with children but he is a big, doof with little body spatial awareness (typical of enormous puppies) so older, sturdier kids are recommended. He rides well in a car, does well in public spaces, walks pretty well on a leash and behavior when he sees the the vet is pending (check up appointment is Friday 3/29). That being said, he IS an enormous puppy approximately a year old, so the faint of heart need not apply. His new family will need to have a very rigorous activity plan to keep this boy out of trouble. Luckily, just like a baby, he does require naps throughout the day. If you look at him and think you can work it out without being a VERY active family, get ready to invest in replacing shoes, clothing, carpets, dog beds and anything else you deem valuable for the next year, at least. You will also need to secure mail, recycling, paper items (yes money and checks), packaging and other items as he thinks they are SO much fun to destroy! He is easily directed with activities, walks, runs, rides, playdates, etc, approved dog toys and dog bones. He LOVES to be outside patrolling the yard and does zoomies just out of sheer joy to be alive. He does NOT like pooing/peeing on a leash so he will need a large yard to eliminate as he needs to do it as FAR away from the house as possible. When he perceives a threat, he has a very BIG bark that should deter any predators, mailmen, the meter reader, garbage trucks, rogue clowns and zombies. He is not a fan of being crated, but not a point to hurting himself, there’s just lots of verbal complaints. He’s crated while his foster mom is at work (see all the things at risk of being lost above) and sleeps totally well through the night in a “penned” area in the kitchen with an 8 panel divider. This is only being used because the older 11 yr old resident Pyrenees is not big fan on Titan in his sleeping space. He likely would love to sleep right on top of you if allowed. His foster mom is working through a little separation anxiety (vocal only), mouthiness, and jumping which gets better each day. With the right family, he is going to be the most loyal companion and we definitely feel a responsibility to make sure he’s not displaced again! Does he sound like your match? He would definitely benefit from a robust, large, active, playful resident dog. Titan is being fostered in Tacoma, WA and is available for adoption in the PNW states!
