Hey there, everyone! I'm Loki, a 2-year-old Black Lab/Terrier mix, weighing a solid 50 pounds. Let me tell you a bit about myself!
I like to think of myself as a smart and eager fellow. I love learning new things and, most of all, making my humans happy. Whether it's mastering new tricks or going for a walk, count me in-I'm good on a leash and ready for adventure!
Playtime is one of my favorite things. I'm playful and sweet, always up for a game of fetch or a good belly rub session. And did I mention I'm mostly house trained? With a little consistency, I'll have that down pat.
If you're interested in meeting me, please submit your adoption application online. It helps the shelter ensure that we're a good match and speeds up the process for our meet-and-greet.
Oh, and before I forget-all animals from our shelter come home spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. It's our way of making sure we're healthy and ready for our forever homes!
If you're looking for a smart, playful, and sweet companion, look no further than yours truly, Loki the Black Lab/Terrier mix. I can't wait to meet you and become part of your family!
Let's be BFFs! Filling out an application is super duper easy and it puts you at no obligation to adopt if we aren't the perfect match. You can use this quick and easy link to meet me soon: https://foothillshumanesociety.org/adopt/adoption-application/
