About Loki

Loki and his buddy Willow are inseparable and will be adopted together. Loki is a sweet, cuddly dog who loves to run and play. He recently enjoyed a "Dog's Day Out" field trip, where he showcased his energetic personality and charm. Witnesses reported his enthusiasm while walking and running alongside his human companions, highlighting how much he appreciates petting and companionship. He knows basic commands like sit and stay, and he particularly enjoys his walks, benefiting from a harness for better control. Loki is mostly housetrained, with experience living with children, but would thrive in a home with older kids who can respect his need for personal space. Social interactions with other dogs can be a little awkward for him, so he might prefer being the only dog in the household, alongside his buddy. This friendly gentleman is also neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. He could be the perfect addition to a loving home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
