This little Loki will have you smiling and laughing at his comical play habits

This 11-month-old puppy could be named after Marvel Comics Asgardian god of mischief – Loki. Loki was born in September 2023 and was surrendered to Second Chance because his owners realized they were not active enough for this little dynamo. Loki is full of energy and comical play habits. He has learned a few commands, gets along with other small dogs, likes both men and women, is crate trained, comfortable on a leash/tie-out, and is making good progress on house training.

Like most pups, Loki can be mischievous and in need of guidance. Ideally, Loki’s new family will have the energy and knowledge to train a young dog; have another dog that is capable of lots of playtime and would enjoy having a 10-pound “pesky little brother” pounce on them; a fenced yard to keep Loki safe; and older children not intimidated by Loki’s excess energy. With love and training Loki will make you a wonderful pet.

Loki is neutered, up to date on vet care, heartworm negative, and on monthly heartworm prevention. He is currently being fostered in Grand Rapids, Michigan and preference will be given to families within a 50-mile radius of either Elkhart or Grand Rapids. Loki’s adoption fee is $400. Questions about Loki can be directed to his foster mom Michelle at m.vangeest@att.net or by calling her at 616-949-7813.
