Story
Loki is a very loving boy who would thrive in a home with playful but submissive dogs. He needs a large home and a big yard where he can run, play, and exercise. He loves going on long walks and playing with the other dogs. He is trained in simple commands and is eager to please. He loves treats and occasionally gets human food as an extra treat. He is house and leash trained. He is protective of his family and his space and barks to keep intruders away. He is not livestock trained and has not lived with children but is very interested in both. He currently lives with three other dogs and gets along with them most of the time. We recently downsized into an RV, and Loki has been getting into fights with his brother over the smaller indoor space. We want to find him a good home where he would thrive, which we can no longer provide for him. Loki is just under 100 pounds; he is 3 years old (born September 2020); he is not neutered and is not current on vaccines.
