Loki

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Loki (born 09/21) and we would also like to pose a few questions to the group. When will people learn that you don't buy animals online? Why do some believe they can decide on a dog's life with a single mouse click, without having gotten to know an animal beforehand? Not every dog adapts to the lifestyle it is given. Would we give up our habits just because a Tinder match demands it? But now, on to Loki: the online purchase clearly went wrong. And for a young male from animal welfare rescue abroad, who is overwhelmed by all sorts of things at first, time and professional help are needed. If you have neither, and the dog is left alone for 10 hours, frustration runs high for any dog. And if you don't "understand" your dog because you can't see what it is signaling... then the supposed rescuer (the human) is quickly disillusioned. Loki is a lovable and chaotic young fellow. He is actually clever and eager to learn, understands what we want from him, and is happy when he has done something well. But he is often also unfocused and impatient, and it feels as if he goes through doors backwards, because waiting is stupid and he wants it now. On walks he is usually relaxed, as long as nothing unusual happens, meaning as long as nothing is going on, which as we all know is rarely the case. When faced with various environmental stimuli, he reacts with insecurity to excitement. Either he wants to flee or he dashes off after them. A lot of work lies ahead for new owners, because he has strength. He should learn to trust humans, because he still tends to guard things. So, if you are not put off by honest words and would like to become Loki's training partner under guidance, you are welcome to call and arrange an appointment.

Loki (geb. 09/21) und auch wir stellen einige Fragen in die Runde. Wann werden Menschen lernen, dass man Tiere nicht im Internet kauft? Warum meint mancher, dass er ohne ein Tier vorher ausreichend kennen gelernt zu haben, per Mausklick über ein Hundeleben bestimmen kann? Nicht jeder Hund passt sich dem vorgegebenen Lebenstil an. Würden wir auf unsere Gewohnheiten verzichten, weil es eine Tinderbekannntschaft verlangt? Nun aber zu Loki, der Internetkauf ging offensichtlich in die Hose. Und für einen jungen Rüden aus dem Auslandstierschutz, der mit allerlei Sachen sowieso anfangs überfordert ist, braucht man Zeit und professionelle Hilfe. Hat man erstes nicht und ist 10 Stunden außer Haus ist bei jedem Hund der Frust groß. Und wenn man seinen Hund nicht „versteht“, weil man nicht sieht, was er signalisiert…. dann ist auch schnell der vermeintliche Retter (Mensch) desillusioniert. Loki ist ein liebenswertes und chaotisches Bürschchen. Eigentlich ist er schlau und lernwillig, versteht, was wir von ihm möchten und freut sich, wenn er was gut gemacht hat. Aber oftmals ist er auch unkonzentriert und ungeduldig, und geht gefühlt mit dem Hintern zuerst durch die Tür, weil warten doof ist und er das jetzt so will. Bei Spaziergängen ist er meist gelassen. Wenn nichts außergewöhnliches passiert. Also nichts los ist. Was bekannter Maßen selten der Fall ist. Bei unterschiedlichen Umweltreizen reagiert er unsicher bis aufgeregt. Entweder möchte er dann die Flucht ergreifen oder hinterher sputen. Da kommt noch einiges an Arbeit auf neue Besitzer zu, denn Kraft hat er. Er sollte lernen, auf den Menschen zu vertrauen, denn noch neigt er auch dazu zu bewachen. So, wer nun von ehrlichen Worten nicht abgeschreckt ist und gerne unter Anleitung Loki‘s Trainingspartner werden möchte, darf gerne telefonisch einen Termin vereinbaren.

About Loki

What life with Loki looks like

Loki is a mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Baden-Baden in Baden-Baden.

A 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Loki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Loki?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierheim Baden-Baden 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?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierheim Baden-Baden whether they will for Loki, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Loki already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Loki. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierheim Baden-Baden, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Loki isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierheim Baden-Baden about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
