Loki

My story

Meet Loki – A Brave Boxer Mix Looking for Love and Guidance Loki is a young boxer mix with a heart full of love and a story of resilience. Rescued from a heartbreaking situation where another dog was starved to death, Loki arrived malnourished and scared, with a body score of just 3 out of 10. Today, thanks to proper care and nutrition, he’s a healthy weight and ready to begin the next chapter of his life with a loving family. We estimate Loki at about 2 years old. Loki is eager to please and has already mastered basic commands like “sit” and “lay down.” He’s passed his temperament test and is good with other dogs, cats, and people. However, due to his energetic nature and love of jumping, we recommend a home without small children. Loki’s Strengths: -Friendly and non-aggressive -Good with dogs, cats, and older children -Loves toys and playtime -Rides well in the car -Food-motivated and responds well to training Areas Loki Needs Help With: Loki is still learning the ropes of being a house dog. He will need: -House Training: Loki will need patience and consistency as he learns house manners. Positive reinforcement, frequent potty breaks, and a structured routine will set him up for success. -Crate Training: While Loki is currently afraid of the crate, with time and encouragement, it can become his safe place. -Leash Training: Loki is still working on walking calmly on a leash, so continued training will be key. -Building Confidence: Loki can be skittish and easily scared, crouching down when overwhelmed. He’ll need a patient owner to help him gain confidence at his own pace with positive reinforcement and treats. Ideal Home for Loki: Loki has one big request for his forever home: no small spaces or apartments. He struggles with separation anxiety and doesn’t do well in confined areas, so he needs a home where he has room to roam and a family that can give him the time and companionship he craves. A calm home with a family committed to continuing his training and helping him adjust to life as a beloved pet. A fenced yard and someone who is home often would be ideal for this sweet boy. He’s incredibly playful and loves his toys, so a family ready for fun is a must! Why Loki Deserves a Second Chance: Loki’s rough start hasn’t dampened his spirit. He’s full of love, energy, and potential, and with the right guidance, he’ll grow into a loyal, loving companion.
