ADOPTION FEE: WAIVED! We thank Northside Veterinary Clinic for their generous sponsorship of Loki which means he is FREE! His adoption fee has been sponsored by Northside Veterinary Clinic! You can learn more about them at www.northsidevetclinic.com.

WAIVED! I'M PART OF THE REWARDS PROGRAM AND MY ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED. WE WILL ALSO PAY MY FOSTER OR ADOPTER $500.

HT has a number of dogs that need very special homes. These dogs have been failed by humans along the way, leaving them homeless and with issues from their treatment. We'll be honest. Some of them are real jerks. But not always. And not to everyone. Not everyone can be charming ALL the time, right? Others are just fearful and don't like other animals because they have had a bad interaction at some point. Some of them love other dogs but are just plain scared of everything. But all of them are good on the inside. And we believe that ALL of them deserve a chance at life and love. And we're looking to find the right human out there to make that happen. But competition is tough. And they're up against small, well-behaved doggies...so we are offering incentives for special humans willing to give these pooches a chance. WE WANT YOU!

***We are paying $500 to any approved foster or adopter of our REWARDS dogs.***

The human will also get ongoing training support, all supplies covered and a $25 Amazon gift card each month for 6 months. You will learn and grow. You will be doing a world of good for a dog who has really had it rough in life.

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:

Greetings, my name is Loki. If you could spare a moment, I would be delighted to share a bit about myself. I am a 3 year old Great Dane mix about 70 lbs. I am a charming and endearing boy who is playful and enjoys the company of humans, though I prefer not to share my space with other dogs; however, I can live with cats. I know it sounds crazy, but it is true. I like living with cats more than I would a dog.

I am friendly, sociable, alert, brave, easygoing, and strive to please those around me. I am a reliable companion, characterized by a loving temperament, often seen with a wagging tail, eagerly welcoming people with playful enthusiasm. I relish cuddles and affection, and do not realize my size because I’m told that I should not sit on people’s lap because of my size. I do enjoy trying to sit on people’s laps and even nuzzling up next to them. I especially enjoy close contact with my human friends because I have some limitations with my hearing and sight, but you'd never know when you see me find a treat on the ground from 20 feet away. I get great comfort in feeling my people against my skin.

In terms of playfulness, I thoroughly enjoy games such as fetch and tug-of-war, expressing my excitement through playful movements. So, have I tugged at your heart's strings? Did I reel you in? Do you want to meet me? I have one more important thing to add, my adoption fee has been sponsored. Yes, my adoption fee has been waived. All you need to do is submit an application and my adoption coordinator, Lani will contact you so that you can meet me. I’m quite the loveable boy.
