My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.



Iron Titus is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Iron arrived at the care center as a stray. During intake Iron allowed handling and took treats gently. However, he grew anxious and began to heavy pant, whining and hypervigilant of his surroundings. In the care center, Iron Titus remains anxious as he is observed to whine and vocalize. Titus also becomes over aroused in the presence of people, jumping up and mounting them. In a recent incident, Titus grabbed onto someone pants and ripped it when he was mounting. Medically, Iron is apparently healthy.

All pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered when appropriate. Please check here for updated adoption hours.



A bit about me:

Iron Titus arrived after someone found him scavenging through the garbage near the front of his home. They said the dog seemed very approachable and friendly. After knocking on the neighbors' doors seeking to find his owners, he brought Iron Titus to us. Upon intake, Iron Titus had a neutral relaxed body and a soft wagging tail. He walked with ease to receive vaccines and then walked into the kennel with no issue.



My ideal home:

Are you a fan of amazing ears? Then Iron Titus is the dog for you. Iron Titus is a nice dog that has become anxious at the care center, whining, vocalizing and sniffing excessively during their assessment. We have no history on his behavior in a home environment, so we do not know if this will occur outside of the care center. If it does appear in a future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving him other things to focus on to alleviate their anxiety.



Good with other pets?

We offer a 2-week trial adoption to help you see if Iron Titus is a good fit for your home. He has been fine with other dogs while in the care center, though he sometimes "humps" other dogs. Since ACC doesn't test with cats, we're not sure how he'd do with feline friends.



Good with kids?

Iron Titus is shy and uncomfortable with novel stimuli, so we feel that an adult-only home would be most beneficial at this time. He'd thrive in a loving household where everyone understands and respects his need to relax and feel comfortable at his own pace.
