Meet Tiberius

Tiberius is a 7½‑year‑old mixed‑breed gentleman with a calm presence and a soulful expression that hints at a life full of stories we may never know. While your guess is as good as ours, we believe he may have some Akita in him, both in looks and in his thoughtful, reserved nature.

He was surrendered to a local animal control shelter when his owner was moving, with little information left behind. Since then, Tiberius has understandably been shy and unsure, trying to make sense of a world that changed very suddenly for him. Despite his nerves, he has shown us that he is gentle, cooperative, and kind, allowing handling and walking on leash.

The bright spot in Tiberius’s journey has been the steady work of our volunteer trainer, who has been spending regular time with him and the progress has been wonderful to see. With patience, consistency, and kindness, Tiberius is slowly gaining confidence and learning that people can be trusted again.

He would thrive in a patient, low‑key home committed long‑term to continuing his confidence building. A second, confident, social dog in the home would be a huge bonus for Tiberius. He did well in playgroups at the shelter and seems to take comfort in canine companionship. Any resident dogs would need a meet‑and‑greet.

Now in his golden years, Tiberius isn’t asking for much, just a soft landing place, a predictable routine, and someone willing to let him go at his own pace. In return, you’ll be giving a deserving old soul the chance to finally feel safe and settled.

Tiberius will come neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and 4DX tested.
If you believe in giving senior dogs the grace and patience they deserve, Tiberius may be waiting just for you.
