Loki

Male · Young · 1 year

Loki, a little shy and insecure puppy, arrived at the shelter in June 2026. He needs some time to get comfortable and learn to trust people and new situations. With a little patience, you'll discover the "real Loki": once he's comfortable, he's very sociable and sunny with people, curious and open to new experiences. We're looking for a family that respects his pace, without rushing to get everything right away. A patient, aware family ready to gently guide him on his journey, helping him slowly discover everything he doesn't know yet. He gets along with other dogs, after a trial. Compatibility with cats is to be evaluated. A quiet, less urbanized living environment would be ideal for Loki. Adoptable only in Turin and province.

IT·Show original

In rifugio a giugno 2026 Loki è un cagnolino inizialmente un po’ timido e insicuro, che ha bisogno di un pochino di tempo per prendere confidenza e imparare a fidarsi delle persone e delle nuove situazioni. Ma basta avere un po’ di pazienza per scoprire il “vero Loki”: una volta presa confidenza si dimostra molto socievole e solare con le persone, curioso e aperto a fare nuove esperienze. Per lui cerchiamo una famiglia che sappia rispettare i suoi tempi, senza avere fretta di ottenere tutto subito. Una famiglia paziente, consapevole e pronta ad accompagnarlo con dolcezza nel suo percorso, aiutandolo a scoprire pian piano tutto quello che ancora non conosce. Va d’accordo con gli altri cani, previa prova. La compatibilità con i gatti è da valutare. Per Loki sarebbe preferibile un contesto abitativo tranquillo e poco urbanizzato. Adottabile solo a Torino e provincia.

About Loki

What life with Loki looks like

Loki is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at L'Arca di Piera.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇮🇹Adopting from Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

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. L'Arca di Piera 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 — L'Arca di Piera 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 L'Arca di Piera 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 (IT). 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.
