Loki is a 6.5-month-old male Retriever/Pit Bull mix with an estimated DOB of January 2026. He currently weighs 40 pounds and is expected to be a large dog when fully grown. Loki was rescued from the woods in Texas along with his mother and siblings. He's described as the fearless ringleader of his litter, brave, bold, and endlessly entertaining. Loki loves to explore, play keep-away with his toys, and can be a bit of a climber. He's potty trained, though a few accidents may occur as he adjusts to a new home. While usually confident, he can be a little hesitant with new experiences, but warms up quickly. He adores food and isn't shy about getting to the front of the line for treats. Despite his energetic antics, Loki has a very sweet side and loves to cuddle. He's good with people and other dogs, and has met children positively. He has some crate experience and is working on his leash skills and basic obedience.
Ideal Home
Loki would thrive in a home committed to reinforcing good manners, building his confidence, and helping him mature. He would do best with a family who can provide ongoing positive reinforcement, consistency, and continued leash practice. Homes that have another friendly, well-mannered dog are preferred to help mentor him, but a home without another dog will be considered if you have a solid plan for continued socialization, such as structured training classes, supervised daycare, or regular playdates. Because he is still young, homes where someone isn't routinely away for more than four to six hours at a time are also preferred.

Training & Support
