Hi, my name is Jennifer, and I’m starting this fundraiser on behalf of a friend and their beloved Great Dane, Titus.

At just 4.5 years old, Titus isn’t just a regular at our local dog park — he’s an integral part of its charm and a beloved source of joy for the entire community. With his towering size and gentle nature, he’s the kind of dog everyone feels fortunate to know. I learned this firsthand when I first met him — he stole my scarf! His owner, Lisa, told me it’s one of his signature moves, and he's known for playfully swiping scarves from unsuspecting park-goers and trotting off like he’s just pulled off the ultimate heist. When it comes to fetch, Titus humors whoever throws the ball for him by chasing it, though he’s never in a rush to get there. His goofy and affectionate personality makes him impossible not to love.

Sadly, Titus has recently started declining rapidly. A lesion on his spine is making it harder and harder for him to move — he can no longer manage the stairs, and each day brings new challenges. He urgently needs an MRI to diagnose the issue and begin treatment, but the procedure costs $6,000 — an overwhelming expense for his family.

We’re reaching out to everyone who knows and loves Titus, and even to those who simply believe in the power of community and compassion. If you’ve ever smiled at a dog’s silly antics, or felt the comfort of their unconditional love, we ask for your help. Every donation — no matter how small — brings us one step closer to getting Titus the care he needs.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for helping us fight for a dog who has given so much joy to so many.
