My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Loki is a Sheba/ Chi breed. He is 15 lbs and about 6 years old.. Very friendly and quiet. He does not bark very at all. He really doesn’t even like to play with dog toys. He does love a good soft blanket and loves to snuggle with someone! He would do well with anyone that could give him attention and take him on walks. He is neutered and up to date on all his shots. He is super loving and ok with other dogs too.  



Loki is housebroken.   He was originally pee pad trained, but he is also house broken.  



Yes, he is crate trained.  I currently have a crate for him in my home and I use it.



Yes, he is an excellent car rider!   He will lay down on the seat and not move until the car stops.  He not one of those dogs that likes to wander around the car.  He's very still when he rides.



Does he do well with kids?  I really cannot answer this question.  My son is 17 years old and I don't have any smaller children. I believe he would be fine.  I will say this...he does feel threatened by larger dogs and prefers to either be the only dog in the house or have other dogs around him that are the same size.  I did have another dog around him he absolutely loved.  Boyfriend/Girlfiend kind of thing, same size.



I can tell you a little bit about his 'past life' from what I've been told.  He was in a home where he belong to a younger adult (late teens/early 20's).  This younger adult was not very kind to Loki and neglected him at times.  What that "neglect" entailed, I do not know.  Loki IS scared of men until he gets to know you.  Then he's ok.  He also does not like loud noises at all. I have had him a little under a year now.  He is pretty loyal and will sit right by your side.



He loves attention and will sit in your lap and snuggle with you.  He is a very expressionless dog.  He doesn't really wag his tail much or smile, but he will snuggle up a storm with you.  I always say, he's always got just a blank look on his face.  Sometimes I laugh because he looks like he's gonna cry.  He'll give you the sad puppy eyes.



.  Loki had a bath and nail grind last week on Tuesday at Petsmart.  I take him on a regular basis.  His hair does not really get long enough to cut.  He's got that kind of fur that stay pretty short.   Ohh and Loki is 8 years old.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Thank you for adopting and not buying!!! Every week hundreds of highly adoptabledogs are put to death by local shelters. Most people would be amazed at the purebred and beautiful dogs available, if they walked into their neighborhood shelter.

Rescue organizations, like mine, work hard to save as many as we possibly can but is a never ending process with breeders and Puppy Mills selling unhealthy animals to the public. If you EVER saw a puppy mill you would NEVER buy again!

All of my dogs are neutered or spayed, vet checked, completely vaccinated, wormed, groomed and checked for heart worms. They are all are current on Heart worm medicine, flea, and tick medications. They are all microchipped as well.

Adoption fee is $300 to $350 (older "friends' can be less, please inquire. Puppies are $350 - Besides fully vetting all dogs, some of of the dogs I rescue, 1 in 5 I rescue have heart worms which is very expensive to treat. I also take in dogs who need surgeries and are close to death.

More about this rescue

About us: Cody was the first pet I owned as an adult. He was a Shih Tzu that I bought unknowingly, from a Puppy Mill. He fought for his life and barely survived, suffering for the first few months of his life. From then on I was stirred by a ferocious passion to save as many dogs as I could through networking with other rescue groups and saving the ones I could off of cold streets and unwanted in shelters. Cody did not live a very long life due to a weakened body, but I was able to love on him for eight good years! He will always be loved and forever remembered. With over 400 dogs rescued so far, we ARE making a difference!!
Thank you for visiting and considering a rescue........................
