Loki (fka Idaho) is a handsome 2-year old male Pit Bull Terrier mix who originally was in our shelter as a tiny newborn puppy when his mother (Layla) was brought to HSOV on December 16, 2021 along with her four newborn babies (Idaho, Russet, Yam and Yukon).
Layla was a good mother to her puppies and she eventually went back home with her family. Her puppies all found homes during the new year (2022).
Loki came back to our shelter in the Fall of 2023 and has been readjusting to shelter life for the past several months while enjoying a large 'bachelor apartment' in our Safe Haven facility. Loki is ready to move on with his life and find an appropriate home of his very own.
This young man has a black-and-white coat, a long tail, and an adorable face with blue eyes, a black button nose on his chubby muzzle, and short floppy ears. Loki's left ear is white and his right ear is black.
Loki is looking for a home where he could be an 'only child' since he is not good with other dogs or cats. He would most likely be ok with older children who would be strong enough to withstand his 'hugs' and robust playtime.
Loki is big boy who currently weighs 105 lbs and is very strong on a leash (especially when he jumps). He would probably do best with an experienced handler. Loki is merely an overgrown puppy in a very large body. He is full of playful energy and doesn't know his own strength.
These photos were taken on February 18, 2024 when HSOV Volunteers Fredley Tynan and John Tynan were treating Loki to a nice long walk on a bitter cold windy afternoon. Loki begged for attention from Fredley and John, and he gave them some nice hugs in thanks for the extra TLC which they had bestowed upon him.
Loki has already been neutered, so he could leave our shelter immediately with an approved HSOV adoption application.
