Titan Tenderheart

My story

The name Titan alone tells you a lot about this boy- strong and handsome with a heart to match. It is always the best when a boy with his physical presence comes with a gentle side and that he does! Currently fostered in a home with two kids, he has a gentle and respectful approach to family life, he loves car rides- with a special love for riding in the back of the truck, and a howl of excitement rarely found in the bully breeds. Take a look at his handsomeness in action then come back to read more-https://youtu.be/-mdv1u53r0Y Titan is a rescue so we cannot know his age or breed with a 100% certainty but we believe he is American Staffie Mix and is estimated to be 4 years old, which likely plays an important part in his slow and steady approach to life. Titan weighs in at 81 lbs and is fully grown so you are absolutely looking at an xl unit of snuggly love with this boy. Don’t let that size fool you, or intimidate you, although we are sure he has the power, he doesn’t misuse it to pull you around town when on a leash walk. He does enjoy his walkies so you will see that enthusiasm when you initially head out the door but he settles into a nice rhythm. In addition to a family, Titans foster home includes two other dogs, Australian shepherds age 8 and 12 who he enjoys but do not have an interest in playing with him much. It doesn’t bother him, he will simply run around on his own before cozying up nearby. The added bonus to being fostered is that he is fully house and crate trained! Of course he may need a tour of the potty places when he gets home but you show the way and he will take it from there. Titan was also introduced to several new dogs to get a feel for his preferred type of playmate/company. It was easy to see that Titan enjoys dogs with a calm, easy-going approach. He enjoys getting to know a dog a bit before bouncing around together. An ideal pairing for Titan would be a female with medium-energy but honestly, we know he would be just as happy soaking up the spotlight as a solo dog.He likes toys and has been interested more and more in playing tug of war and shows the makings of a dog who will play fetch. With your help he would be happy to play in the yard and then head inside to relax by your side. An ideal home for Titan would include a yard to run, sniff, and really practice his fetch skills. His size alone tells us he isn’t build for apartment life but when you add in his cute howls it seals the deal. No noise complaints here. Titan’s ready for a family that knows, the bigger the dog the sweeter the love. He is loyalty, fun, and ready for love! If you feel like Titan is the one for you, apply here: Questions? Email elizabethbower@threelittlepittiesrescue.org *Cannot be adopted to WA or ME* We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA  or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey! You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!  The adoption fee is $825 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!  We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews: https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.  Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!  Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS: Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family  Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions  70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer  Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup! Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
