Titan

Emotional Support Puppy

Titan, aka Mr. Hobbles is a 7 year old lab-retriever mix. As a rescue, he only has three and a half working legs, but don’t let that fool you, he can keep up with the best of them.

On top of the adorable puppy poses, Titan enjoys going for short hikes, laying in the grass, and all things outdoors!

Thundercat

The True Boss

Thundercat, aka TC, is a 6 year old domestic short hair cat. As a rescue he can be shy at first, but he runs the show around here. When he’s not antagonizing Titan, he enjoys snuggling, naps on the couch, and the occasional hike!
