Loki

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Loki: The Doberman Who Thinks He’s King (Because He Definitely Is) Loki is a 4.5-year-old cropped and docked black and rust Doberman Pinscher, fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and ready to take over your couch, your heart, and quite possibly your entire kingdom. This regal gentleman is all about loyalty and making sure you know he’s always around. He’s a velcro dog who lives to follow you around, and if you dare sit down, prepare for his royal presence to be felt right next to you. &#239&#184&#143 His Royal Highness's Preferences: Crate Enthusiast & House-Trained: Loki is a king who knows when to retreat to his royal chamber (aka his crate) to rest. He’s 100% house-trained, meaning he doesn’t need a throne to do his business—just a backyard and your full attention when he makes a royal deposit. Bark Backer Extraordinaire: If any dog dares to bark at him, Loki will immediately respond with a royal “Excuse me woof?!” He doesn’t tolerate sass from the commoners and is always ready to stand his ground in a full-blown barking contest. Don’t start no stuff, won’t be no stuff—unless it’s Loki’s stuff. WOOF!!! &#239&#184&#143 Velcro Royalty: Loki is 100% a velcro dog. He will follow you around all day because, as he sees it, why should the King of the castle ever be alone? If you go to the bathroom? He’ll be there, sitting at your feet. In the kitchen? Loki’s watching, making sure you’re not dropping food. (or his snacks). Brainiac & Trickster: Loki is smart, maybe smarter then most humans, and loves challenges. Puzzle toys? He’ll solve them faster than you can say “royal decree.” He’s also into training sessions, which is a fun way for him to earn his crown (and maybe a treat or two). Don’t expect him to just sit there; this dog is ready to work for his treats. Couch Cuddler Supreme: When he’s not barking at other dogs or plotting his next royal conquest, Loki’s favorite pastime is lounging on the couch, in case you wanted to know what “kingdom life” really looks like. Game of Thrones marathon? He’s in. Romance flicks, yep. He’s already mentally prepared to sit on the Iron Throne, but for now, your couch will do. &#239&#184&#143 Ideal Home: Loki is a solo monarch. No other dogs or cats are allowed in his kingdom. Loki rules with an iron paw, and there’s no room for anyone else to challenge his supremacy. The world is all about Loki, according to Loki's rules. &#226&#157&#140 While Loki has lived with a 12-year-old human, he believes anyone under the age of 12 is simply too young to understand his royal ways. Young children are like fingernails on a chalk board, plus they smell funny. Loki needs a home where he’s treated like the adult he is. &#226&#157&#140 Loki needs a family who’s up for lots of high energy fun and mental challenges. If you have the energy to keep up with him and can provide a healthy mix of fun times (fetch, running, walking, trick-training) and down time (couch cuddles), then you’ll both live happily ever after. ‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143 Why Adopt Loki? Loki isn’t just a pretty face with a bark that could rival thunder—he’s a loyal, hilarious, and highly entertaining companion. He’ll protect your home, keep you laughing, and never let you sit alone on the couch again. A home isn’t truly a home without a Loki in it. If you’re ready for a dog who thinks he’s royalty and demands your attention all day long, Loki is your guy.
