Titan	Torin
I am big friendly rambunctious boy looking for a home where I can be myself. I want an owner that is rambunctious too because we can rough house and play. I understand the commands no, sit, come and fetch. I love my toys and I don’t want to share them so I need to be the only pet in the home. To tell the truth I want to be the only “kid” in the home so I prefer a home with no children. I can’t help it; I just want to be the center of attention. I am about four years old and I am neutered. When I was a stray I went hungry so now I do protect my food but am fine if left alone while eating. Everyone says Pit Bull lovers will fall in love with me but I think anyone wanting to share their life with a fun dog would be a good match for me.	I had no home so I figured if I hung out where a lot of people go I might get some help and it worked. A nice lady saved me while I was looking for help at Walmart. She wanted to give me a home but her cats did not welcome me. I am not sure why because I am friendly and social with other cats. Believe it or not I don’t mind getting a bath but I do a pretty good job of keeping myself clean and I am litter trained. I am neutered and about four years old. If you adopt me please make sure you have a brush as I love getting brushed. Please stop by the shelter so we can get acquainted.

KENNEL DOOR FUND!!!
Two of our three kennel areas have new doors. We would love to replace the doors in our Kennel 1 area too. Doors have a lifetime guarantee, but are very expensive to replace. If you care to contribute, please send your donation to Humane Society of Somerset County, PO Box 182 Somerset, PA 15501 and mark the envelope 'Kennel Door Fund.' Thank you!!

Old kennel doors are pictured on the left and are worn and falling apart. New kennel doors that have been installed in two of our kennel areas is pictured on the right.
