About Titan

Titan is an 8-year-old, 130-pound Anatolian Shepherd mix who knows how to get his way. As a livestock guardian dog, he's intelligent, independent, and always observes his surroundings. He has a knack for testing boundaries and remembering every detail. For instance, if you try to offer him a Milk-Bone when he already knows the Pup-Peronis are in the cabinet, expect a look of disappointment. Routine is essential for Titan. His daily walk is non-negotiable; he'll pace until he's taken out. His list of requirements is just as particular: he needs his own loveseat, some toys for playtime, and access to fresh water. He has a soft spot for snow, willingly snacking while watching you shovel. In summer, the A/C vent is his throne. Thunderstorms? Not a fan. Titan can share his space with another dog that matches his independent spirit, and he's currently cohabiting peacefully with three cats. He gets along well with them, though his play style can be overwhelming for kittens. Respectful, dog-savvy children fit comfortably into his lifestyle, and he’s shown indifference toward horses. He does experience some separation anxiety, making him an ideal candidate for a retiree or someone who works from home. A secure, fenced yard is a must, as is an adopter experienced in handling Anatolian Shepherds. Consistency is critical, as he's clever enough to discover loopholes in rules. Beneath Titan’s strong-willed exterior lies a loyal companion. Once he chooses you, he’s all in—patrolling your home and keeping a watchful eye on everything. Titan is a dedicated guardian, part-time comedian, and loving protector ready for a forever family. If you think you can handle this charismatic pup, Titan is looking for you.
