My story

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

Loki a 10-month-old black and red plush coat German Shepherd with a story to tell. Loki found his way to our rescue due to behavioral issues stemming from a lack of proper socialization during his crucial puppyhood. As a result, he's a very nervous and fearful dog, often preferring to avoid interactions with everything and everyone.
Despite his initial shyness, Loki has a heart full of curiosity and a love for treats that could rival any dog's. Once he forms a bond with his new owner (which will take patience and time), he eagerly shows off all the commands he already knows. Why? Because he knows that's when the treats come out, and nothing makes him happier than a good game of ball in the yard.
What Loki truly needs is a family who understands his fearful temperament and is willing to provide the guidance and support he needs to overcome his fears. He would thrive in a home with a confident and playful dog companion who can show him the ropes. However, a household with little kids may not be the best fit for Loki, as he tends to be afraid of them.
During Loki's vetting and neuter surgery, we discovered that he has hip dysplasia in his right rear leg. This means he will require daily joint supplements to keep him comfortable, and there may be a hip surgery in his future. But for now, Loki is just a pup who enjoys running around and, occasionally, grabbing a shoe for a playful game.
On the bright side, Loki is already crate trained, walks well on a leash, and is a perfect companion for car rides. With the right family who can give him the love, patience, and care he deserves, Loki has the potential to blossom into a confident and happy dog.
If you think you could be the understanding and loving family Loki needs, please send in an application.
