About Loki

Loki is almost 9 months old and weighs about 40lbs. Neutered and fully vaccinated, he’s a healthy, happy-go-lucky mix of snuggle buddy and lap dog. Loki’s all about affection—sweet, silly, loving, and playful by nature. Don’t be surprised if he tries for your lap. He’s house trained, crate trained (though he’ll protest for a moment before settling), and gets a big kick out of attention—and the treats that come with it. He responds to ‘Sit’ and ‘Lay Down’ and is working on ‘Wait’ and ‘Stay.’ Loki is smart and eager for his next training challenge, especially if snacks are involved. He’s learning leash skills (short leash works best right now) and doesn’t bark much or show prey drive. The foster family says he doesn’t try to bolt out the door—human and canine companionship mean more to him than exploring solo. Loki thrives with other dogs (big males and females alike), adjusts well to corrections from people and other dogs, and prefers female playmates. His puppy energy can be obnoxious in bursts, so regular exercise or play keeps him balanced. He gets very excited when let out of the crate, so it helps to ignore his antics until he settles—then reinforce his calm. Loki needs a fenced yard, and a home with children 12+ is best since he’s still young and exuberant. He’s good with cats and dogs. Currently with a foster in West Milton, OH. This could be the start of something paw-some.
