Story
Hi, I’m Loki! I’m a 6-year-old German Shepherd, and people say I’m absolutely stunning. My thick, shiny black coat is pretty impressive if I do say so myself—and thanks to my amazing foster home, I’m now a healthy 108 pounds of handsome.
First things first: I love open spaces. A quiet, rural setting is my ideal vibe. I still get a little startled by things I’m not used to, but I’m getting braver every day with more exposure and encouragement. I just need slow, thoughtful introductions to new experiences to help me feel safe and confident.
I’m still working on my leash skills—especially when I see other dogs or things moving quickly. I can get a little wound up, so I’m looking for someone experienced with dogs who have leash stress, or someone who’s ready to work with a qualified trainer who can help me keep making progress. I’m already in training, and I’m a smart boy who’s eager to learn.
Off-leash, I shine! I love visiting friends who have lots of space to roam, and I have a blast playing with other dogs. I often hang out with a senior small dog and just let him do his thing. I’m respectful like that.
I’ve done a great job meeting new people, and I have excellent house manners. I sleep quietly beside my foster mom’s bed, and if I can’t ride along with you (which I love to do, even though I might bark at other dogs I see), I’m perfectly content to stay home. I’ve been trustworthy when left loose in the house—no trouble at all.
And then there’s my ball. Ohhh, my ball. It’s basically my best friend. I carry it everywhere in the house and love a good game of fetch. I’m a big boy with a soft heart and a playful side.
If you’re into tall, dark, and incredibly handsome boys with just enough mystery to keep things interesting, I might be your perfect match. I’m looking for a patient, experienced adopter who understands leash sensitivity and is ready to help me keep growing into the best version of myself.
I’m waiting in Walnut Creek, and I’d really love to meet you.
