Titan is a lovable, goofy dog who arrived at Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh (HARP) when his previous home could no longer care for him. While he may be a bit nervous, with patience and slow introductions, his playful personality starts to shine. Titan would do best in an adult-only home, as he’s not comfortable around young children and prefers to have his space respected. He has been enjoying time in doggy daycare, so he may do well with a doggy roommate. As part of the Best Paw Forward program, Titan's adopters will receive private training sessions to help him adjust to his new environment. Titan is ready for a fresh start—if you’re looking for a loyal companion, he’s waiting to meet you at Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh! https://lnkd.in/eC57yakb
