Story
Loki is a 2-year-old male Border Collie mix is the sweetest boy ever. Weighing 60 pounds, he’s a big snuggler who thinks he’s a lap dog, always ready to climb onto his humans for cuddles. He loves to give hugs, and will put both paws on your shoulders and nuzzle into them. This quirky pup also likes to lay down to eat his food (kind of like the rest of us who eat on the couch!). Loki has made great strides in house training and does well with potty breaks every 3-4 hours. At night, he might have an accident, but he adapts well to pee pads if needed. He isn’t crate-trained but does well sleeping in a separate room, where he’s calm, quiet, and non-destructive. Loki is pretty quiet overall, and while he loves being close to his humans, he settles well when left alone for a few hours. While he’s curious and playful with other dogs during slow introductions, he may need to be an only dog or live in a home with an experienced owner willing to work through some resource-guarding behavior. He is okay meeting other dogs if they are outside together, but inside gets a little bit trickier, so he has his own room that he seems very happy with. When it comes to cats, Loki shows curiosity without aggression and could likely share a home with feline friends. He loves all people, and has done well with older children, but his excitement and tendency to jump might be too strong for very young children. Loki is moderate-energy—content with lounging around but also enjoying bursts of playtime, especially fetch with tennis balls or toys. Loki is so smart and playful—he is happy to toss his toys around to himself and pounce on them, or bring a toy to you if you can't reach! He is affectionate, smart, and eager to please, making him a great addition to any family. A fenced yard is recommended so that Loki can explore outside, then after his adventure he's happy to return to his favorite place—right next to his people.If you’re looking for a loving, goofy, and deeply affectionate companion, Loki is ready to fill your life with hugs!If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450.
