Dog & Cat of the Week 🐾
Hi, My name is Titan
🐕🐕DOG OF THE WEEK 🐕🐕
This gorgeous guy is fun and playful. Give him a call and he'll play non stop. He likes playing tug with you also. TITAN is a smart boy and us learning some basic commands. He's also learning nose work, which he enjoys. He's extremely treat motivated! Titan loves car rides and is a perfect co pilot. He seems to like other dogs so if you are interested in him and you currently have a dog, a meet and greet at the shelter is required. He definitely does not like cats. Titan can be a little shy and quiet when first meeting people but when he warms up, he treats you like you've been his best friend his whole life ❤🐾
