Loki

Beagle · Male · Adult · 8 years

Lovely Loki absolutely adores company and being the centre of attention! He is a very affectionate and loving boy who enjoys nothing more than a fuss and a snuggle with his favourite people. If he thinks he isn't receiving quite enough attention, Loki isn't afraid to show off his wonderful native Beagle howl to let you know he'd like a fuss or perhaps a play! Loki is a clever boy who knows a range of hand signals, including sit, high five, down, roll over and stay. He is also a huge foodie, so tasty treats are certainly a great way to get his attention! Don't let Loki's age fool you, this boy still has plenty of energy and loves getting out and about for walks and having a run around. Woodland walks and trips to the beach are among his favourite adventures, and he'd love an owner who can take him out to explore the world. Loki is a wonderfully loving and loyal boy with lots of personality, who is ready to bring plenty of affection, fun and classic Beagle charm to his forever home. Loki is an eight-year-old Beagle who is looking for a home where he can enjoy plenty of company, love and adventures! He could potentially share his home with another dog or be equally as happy as the only dog in the home. Loki would also benefit from having some social doggy friends to enjoy spending time with. He has good history around cats and small furries, as well as living around chickens and reptiles. Loki ignores livestock, making him a great companion for someone who enjoys exploring the countryside. He could live with secondary school-aged children and is housetrained. Loki mostly walks nicely on his lead, although he may occasionally pull if there is a particularly exciting sniff he wants to investigate! He absolutely loves a car ride and will be more than happy to join you on adventures. He can be left for up to three hours, although this will need to be built up gradually when he first settles into his new home. Loki could cope well in a busier household.

About Loki

What life with Loki looks like

Loki is a extra-large adult beagle dog waiting at Dogs Trust Ilfracombe in Ilfracombe.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Loki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Loki?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Ilfracombe handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Loki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Loki if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Ilfracombe will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Loki already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Loki isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Ilfracombe early rather than rehoming privately; they know Loki and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
