Thanks to a generous donor, Titan E will come with a $750 incentive grant to help offset any costs your rescue incurs!
Titan E ACCT-A-250993 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to medical concerns. Titan must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or EXPERIENCED ADOPTER by Monday, June 8th, 2026 at 10AM. Should Titan's medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change.
Meet Titan E - a gentle, easygoing male dog who is looking for a rescue partner to provide urgent medical support and help him continue healing.
Titan is a calm, affectionate boy who has consistently shown a low-energy, laid-back demeanor in the shelter setting. Despite everything he has been through, he remains soft and social in his own quiet way. He has shown nice, polite greetings with other dogs, including calm fence interactions and a positive dog meet with "Brown Butter," suggesting he enjoys canine companionship. In play yard outings, he is generally relaxed and content to sniff and explore at his own pace, occasionally accepting gentle affection but not demanding attention. At times he may show brief excitement leaving his kennel and can be strong on leash during exit, but once outside he settles quickly and walks well, showing responsiveness to leash guidance. Volunteers have even described him as a "lap dog" type once he is comfortable, highlighting his underlying desire for closeness and safety.
Titan was originally surrendered due to a severe medical concern involving a bleeding scrotal mass, with the owner unable to afford treatment. That mass has since been surgically removed and diagnosed as a cutaneous hemangiosarcoma with clear margins, which is encouraging for his prognosis, though he remains recommended for continued senior medical screening (including imaging and abdominal workup) to ensure no additional underlying disease is present. His medical course has also included a complicated upper respiratory infection currently being managed, as well as prior concerns including anemia, possible gastrointestinal bleeding, elevated kidney values, and an enlarged prostate noted on imaging. He is receiving ongoing supportive care, but will need a rescue partner prepared to continue diagnostics, monitoring, and recovery support.
Through it all, Titan has remained bright, responsive, and tolerant of handling, showing a steady and resilient temperament. He is a sweet, low-key companion who seems to take comfort in routine, calm environments, and gentle human interaction. With the right medical support and a stable place to land, Titan E has every chance to continue healing and show just how much love this quiet, easy boy has to offer.

Per staff 5/26/26 (Regarding meet with Saranda): Good greetings. Soft eyes, ears to the side and mid tail. Some drooling after sniffing Sarandas hind end.
Per volunteer 5/25/26: Meet Titan! This sweet boy was surrendered to the shelter when his scrotum was bleeding profusely and his owner wasn't able to afford the treatment. He is now looking for a rescue who can take him in and get him medical care to look at the large mass on his scrotum. This boy is sweet and calm through it all and just wants to feel safe.
Per volunteer 5/25/26:
Kennel Presentation: Greeted me with a slightly wiggly body and wagging tail. He was very excited to get out of his kennel today, so actually took quite a while to get him leashed. He tries to bust out using his head on the door so you have to hold it very sturdy, and he almost got through a few times.
Leash Skills: Once leashed he is really good on the leash with just minimal pulling. He is very in tune with his handlers leash pressure.
Sociability: Once we got to the play yard, he took his time sniffing around and was pretty low energy for that. After he pooped and spread it behind him. Didn't show interest in treats even when I toss them in front of him. He spent most of the time sniffing around. Briefly took some pets from me, however didn't solicit them out too much.
Play: He showed some minor interest in toys when I tossed them, however not overly interested in chasing after them.
Dog Interaction: Had nice fence meets with other dogs where he greeted them politely.
Return to Kennel: Went back into his kennel very easily.
Color Level: Going to give him double blue due to how much he tried to bust out of his kennel however if he gets easier to leash he could be gold.
Per staff 5/23/26: owner surrendering his dog stating the dog is bleeding badly. from his scrotum and he is worried he won't be able to afford taking him to the vet. Signed surrender agreement and paid fee. APO removed large male pitty from basement of location. Owner stated he would like to reclaim Titan if he can be saved by being neutered.
Medical Notes:
6/5/26: Complicated URI
6/3/26: Complicated URI and Concern for infectious pneumonia
6/2/26: The scrotal mass was diagnosed as a cutaneous hemangiosarcoma with a high mitotic count, but it was completely surgically excised with clear margins (3-4 mm) and no evidence of vascular invasion.
This type of skin hemangiosarcoma is generally less aggressive than internal forms and often carries a lower risk of spread when fully removed. No additional treatment is required for the tumor itself at this time. However, due to the dog's senior age and prior concern for possible gastrointestinal bleeding at presentation, further senior screening such as abdominal ultrasound and chest radiographs is recommended to assess overall health.
5/28 - This dog has been observed to have shelter acquired upper respiratory infection (URI), or a "doggy cold". They have been started on medication, and will be monitored for resolution of the respiratory infection.
5/25 - Negative parvo test
5/24: Titan E was sent to an offsite emergency clinic for monitoring, and while no major concerns were identified at that time aside from a scrotal mass, a large volume of blood was later found in his kennel at the shelter from an unclear source.
On examination, Titan E was bright, alert, and responsive with overall good body condition but mild dehydration. He was ambulatory with no neurologic or orthopedic concerns and had otherwise normal heart, lung, and abdominal findings. A raised scrotal mass was noted without active bleeding at the time of exam. Additional concerns included melena (digested blood in the stool), mild anemia, elevated white blood cells, and increased kidney values, along with imaging findings consistent with an enlarged prostate. He is currently receiving supportive care, including fluids and gastrointestinal medication, and is designated for rescue placement for further diagnostic workup and treatment of his scrotal mass, possible internal bleeding source, and prostate disease.
5/24: Titan E is a male dog who was found with significant bleeding in his kennel, with blood present throughout the enclosure. On examination, he was bright, alert, and responsive, but showed elevated heart rate and respiratory rate with increased respiratory effort and slightly delayed capillary refill time. His mucous membranes were pink but tacky, and his pulses were described as "snappy," though no overt pain was noted.
The source of bleeding was identified as a ruptured, scabbed-over mass in the urogenital area. Despite the severity of the external bleeding, he was otherwise stable at the time of assessment and did not show signs of distress behaviorally.
