Titus and Rylo {Broward County Animal Care}
Two dogs facing severe kennel stress at Broward County Animal Care are in urgent need of adoption or rescue placement before a May 28 deadline.
Rylo and Titus, both American Staffordshire Terrier mixes, have been identified as urgent cases because the shelter environment has negatively affected their mental and physical well-being, according to Broward County Animal Care.
Rylo, identified as A2474059, is a 4-year-old male weighing about 57 pounds. He is described as a “short and stout low-rider” with distinctive ears. Rylo arrived at the shelter on April 1 after he and a cat companion were abandoned at a local church and later confiscated by Animal Care.
Shelter staff said Rylo was initially terrified and withdrawn, often hiding in the back of his kennel. Over time, he became friendlier and more playful with staff, but officials said he has recently begun showing signs of stress again, including pacing, digging in his kennel, and avoiding walks.
“We want the best for Rylo and know he will thrive in a loving home outside of the high-stress shelter environment,” Animal Care officials said.
Titus, identified as A2473518, is a 6-year-old male weighing about 76 pounds. He arrived at the shelter in late March with another dog, Luna, who has since been adopted.
Although Titus can appear reactive in his kennel due to stress from surrounding barking dogs, staff described him as affectionate and well-mannered outside the kennel environment. Officials said Titus knows commands including sit, down, and paw, enjoys treats, and interacts well with other energetic dogs.
Animal Care officials said both dogs need to be placed with adopters or rescue organizations by Thursday, May 28.
Broward County Animal Care is located at 2400 SW 42nd St. in Fort Lauderdale and is open daily for pet adoptions from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
All pets adopted from the shelter are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. More information about available animals is available at PetAdoptions.Broward.org
