This handsome fellow is looking for an adopter with Anatolian Shepherd or guardian dog experience. He bonds very strongly with his caregiver and often will be protective of anyone else in the home or visitors to the home. His foster mom is working with a trainer to help Loki become more accepting of all humans that he meets. His ideal adopter would be willing to continue this important training with Loki.

Loki's wonderful traits are that he is a bundle of fun when he is feeling secure and relaxed with the person he trusts. This nimble boy is quick on his feet and loves to play.

He can forward when meeting other dogs and can be dog selective. But when he meets a dog with the right energy, he'll play and play.

Loki does very well in his crate when left at home.

Loki would do best in a home that doesn't have frequent visitors as this can trigger his protective behavior. His adopter will need to have experience managing protective behaviors in their adult-only home.

Loki is one of the dogs we took from the SPCA of Monterey County to make room for dogs needing somewhere safe to evacuate from the fires in August 2020. He was adopted last summer but his adopter had frequent visitors to her home and ended up having to tearfully return him to POMDR.
