Adopt a Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat)

Meet Titus! Before I tell you about this wonderful, goofy boy, let me give you his back story. Titus is a pit mix, about 8 years old, who was surrendered to the rescue almost 3 years ago after a good samaratin begged for months in an attempt to change his living conditions. Titus was living in a dirt filled yard, chained to a tree with a moldy dog house as his only shelter surviving on whatever they fed him, mainly chicken feed. After being told Titus would die from his se

vere heartworm infection if not treated, they agreed to surrender him. He was coughing up blood and retaining fluid from the heartworm infection and his skin was in terrible condition. After a long journey to get healthy, Titus is ready for his forever home. Titus was not properly socialized before coming to the rescue so careful introduction with dogs his size is needed, but is a sucker for puppies. Seriously, he turns to mush when with a puppy or two. Titus is NOT cat friendly or small animal friendly. He also becomes very attached to his human companion and doesn’t like to share. He is not aggressive with others, but really wants to be the center of attention. Titus has some allergy issues that requires a specific dog food/treats to keep it under control. Titus is playful and silly, pure entertainment, and guaranteed to make you laugh daily. He loves to play fetch and tug, taking walks through the neighborhood, or relaxing on the couch (usually in your lap).  Titus has some fear of men/teenage boys, but can be managed with careful and slow introduction. Titus is crate trained, house broken, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. Because of Titus’ quirks, we feel he would do best in a single person household. To adopt this wonderful boy, complete the adoption application at AAVArescue.com
