About Titan

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Meet Titan—a striking, high-energy Belgian Malinois looking for a fresh start in life. At about two years old and currently at Oklahoma German Shepherd Rescue, Titan is already neutered and up to date on vaccinations. He’s in the midst of recovery following wrist surgery, so his activities are currently limited to short walks and gentle, controlled play sessions. Titan’s days have been spent mostly in boarding, which means a loving home environment is exactly what he needs to blossom. While his indoor habits are still being discovered, he’s already shown a big love for toys, playtime, and engaging with volunteers. With regular visits from caring helpers, he’s making steady progress on leash manners, grooming, and basic commands, but will need continued structure, training, and consistent outlets for his considerable energy and intelligence. Titan needs an adopter who truly understands the Malinois breed’s unique needs and is ready to provide both the leadership and stimulation he thrives on. He’s best suited to a cat-free household and, due to his energy, a home with older children or adults only would be ideal. As Titan finishes healing, he’s ready for someone committed to ongoing guidance, training, and lots of play. With the right person, this resilient pup can reach his full potential! Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
