Street Save Yes.
What’s their story Loki was waiting outside our fence on a Friday afternoon, the day after thanksgiving. He barked for about an hour and wouldn't let us near him initially. That evening he dug his way INTO our backyard. Our four dogs had already seen him and after a quick, and surprising introduction that evening, he stuck around outside. He was very submissive. The next morning he let us pet him. Then that evening he stayed inside in the bathroom. By Sunday he was right at home inside! He had his nails trimmed and some fleas. He just wants lots of love and is a bit awkward, as if though he wasn't paid attention to. He wants to be on your lap, but doesn't know how to and stands on you a bit dorky. He will jump on the bed and wants to be around the dogs and the humans. We are only not foster failing because we have four dogs already. If not, we'd LOVE to keep him and are already in love with him.
Walks good on a leash No. He appears to not have been walked before. He will likely need some training and a harness vs a leash.
Kennel trained. Doesn't love the kennel, especially as he is not super chewy treat motivated. He has been staying in a bathroom overnight with a gate and does well. No accidents. He does sleep the whole night in there. He can adjust to a kennel with high value treats.
Good with dogs Extremely good with dogs.
Good with cats Not cat tested.
Good with kids Have not seen him around small kids, but is extremely gentle and sweet.
Not cat tested, but we believe he would do just fine
Potty trained Hasn't had any accidents inside, but does mark some. We're working on that. It's definitely marking and not peeing. We have another fairly new dog that we're also working on with that so that could be why.
Could live in apartment? Yes. But needs to be walked several times a day as he has lots of energy. A yard would be better.
Jumps A little, but is so sweet and listens when you tell him to get off.
Barks Except for the day we met him, he doesn't really bard,
Separation Anxiety . Maybe. He was in the bathroom alone while we were out, and the gate wasn't completely secure and he found his way out to the other dogs.
Chews Have seen him chew a shoe and a lego. Not destructive, just needs direction.
Good in the car Yes. Did great in the car the couple of times we've had to take him.
Chase and fetch ball No. But could learn. Loves to play with soft toys.
Personality By far the sweetest dog we've ever had in the house. Loves people. Loves dogs.
Any behavior issues A little bit of marking, a little bit of chewing. Nothing a little training, patience and time can't fix.
Best home would be with people who want their dog around as part of the family. Ideally a home that has another sweet dog looking for a playmate. A yard for Loki to run around in. A home that allows their dogs on the bed and doesn't keep him isolated. He is a complete sweetheart.
