Tito's Journey, from broken to beloved

Tito's journey was nothing short of incredible! This spirited and resilient senior came to the shelter as an “owner surrender”, carrying a massive tumor on his body and a heavy heart.

Despite his age and condition, he never gave up and neither did we! After a series of veterinary consults, it was determined that Tito was a candidate for a lifesaving surgery.  The costs were high, but with the help of generous donors, Tito was able to have his tumor removed.

After months at the shelter, surviving major surgery, and recovering like an absolute champ, Tito didn’t just heal, he thrived! He made so many friends along the way and stole everyone’s hearts at the shelter. A chance encounter (maybe it was written in the stars?) and his adopter fell in love immediately. Tito, now Peewee, went home the very next day.

He is now spoiled and loved beyond imagination, the sort of fairy-’tail’ we wish for all our shelter friends…
