Titan may not be an immortal giant, but he is powerfully cute and looking for a final home

My name is Titan, which means “defender” and it is derived from Greek mythology, where the Titans were a band of immortal and powerful giants. I don’t consider myself as a giant since I am just 2 years old, of medium size and weigh only 55 pounds…but I am powerfully cute! A special power of mine is to love people and dogs. I play with big and little friends, one of my smallest dog buddies is only 10 pounds and we get along great. I have been taught to sit and to stay down. I love playing with stuffed toys and I don’t even mind sharing them with others. I like to spend time outside, but I have enjoyed the air conditioning on these recent humid, hot days. When I run after a tennis ball, I often do some bunny hops which everyone says is “just the cutest thing.” Hearing those words make my heart “bunny hop” for joy. I will gladly flop over for a good belly rub, and I am a sucker for those bacon treats.
