Notes: Titus is a big boy, about six years old and 65 to 70 pounds. He walks well on leash and is mostly house trained, but he is very food motivated and treats and more frequent outings should make the process fairly easy. He does jump a bit when he is on leash but can be talked out of it by someone with a treat and a firm command. Because of his jumping he should probably not go to a home with small children. Titus does like people and has done well with dogs he has met at the shelter but may react badly to a dog who tries to jump on him, so he must meet and interact with any dog he may live with. Titus has been at the shelter for a long time and really yearns for a home to call his own where he can have a fenced yard to explore and a family who will give him the TLC and belly rubs he has been missing.
