Loki

My story

Meet Loki: part marshmallow, part shadow, part undercover goofball. Loki, a 7 y/o American Bulldog located in Toronto, was scheduled to be euthanized. There was no incident, no aggression, no reason to fear him, just a dog who was too scared to show the world who he really is. At the shelter, he didn’t bark or act out, he simply disappeared. Curled up in his bed, head tucked into blankets, hoping the world would leave him alone. A quiet boy, shutting down in a loud place. And then someone gave him a chance. Fast forward to today, and Loki is a lil pudding. Soft, affectionate, and happiest when he knows he’s safe. A master cuddler and nap enthusiast. He’s the kind of sweet that sneaks up on you. When he’s comfortable, his playful side comes out, including, zoomies, squeaky toys (his true passion), and a firm commitment to tug of war. Loki is still building confidence. New people and places can make him nervous, and when he’s nervous he may retreat. With patience and reassurance, he settles and that’s when you see him shine. He was initially more nervous of men but is already making great progress. He will need a home committed to his care, including a strict hypoallergenic diet for his skin and ears. Vet visits are hard for him, but manageable with medication and support. Loki’s dream home is someone patient and kind. Someone who understands that the best things take time. A quieter home would suit him best, with older or dog-savvy kids. He’s fairly indifferent to other dogs, so could live with one, but would also be very happy as your one and only.
