Loki

Maltese · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Loki, a young playful Maltese with a big heart, is looking for his forever home. He loves children and playing outside all day. He can be initially unsure of strangers but becomes friendly once trust is established. Loki is a calm dog who doesn't bark without reason and never bites. He can stay alone for 1-2 hours and remains quiet during this time. A loving family with a garden would be ideal for him, allowing him to spend plenty of time outdoors. People who are patient and provide security will help him become more confident. Loki is eager to find a home where he can play, learn, and receive lots of love. Please contact the shelter directly if you're interested: Deutschen Tierschutzbund e.V. Landestierschutzverband BW e.V.

Geschlecht: RüdeGröße: - Gewicht: - Rasse: Malteser Über mich: Hallo, ich bin Loki – ein junger, verspielter Malteser mit einem großen Herz. Ich liebe Kinder und spiele am liebsten den ganzen Tag draußen. Toben, Rennen und gemeinsame Abenteuer machen mir besonders viel Spaß. Fremden Menschen begegne ich anfangs noch etwas unsicher und belle sie manchmal an. Sobald ich Vertrauen gefasst habe, bin ich jedoch freundlich. Ansonsten bin ich ein ruhiger Hund und belle nicht ohne Grund. Beißen gehört für mich überhaupt nicht dazu. Ich kann problemlos 1–2 Stunden alleine bleiben und verhalte mich dabei ruhig. Mein Wunschzuhause:Für mich wäre eine liebevolle Familie mit einem Garten ideal, damit ich viel Zeit im Freien verbringen kann. Menschen, die Geduld mitbringen und mir Sicherheit geben, helfen mir dabei, noch selbstbewusster zu werden. Ich freue mich auf ein Zuhause, in dem ich spielen, lernen und ganz viel Liebe schenken darf.

About Loki

What life with Loki looks like

Loki is a large young adult maltese dog waiting at Kreistierschutzverein Heidenheim in Germany.

An young 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Kreistierschutzverein Heidenheim 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 — Kreistierschutzverein Heidenheim 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. 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 Kreistierschutzverein Heidenheim 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 (DE). 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.
