Loki

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Loki (M) 8 months - adoption via BorderLineCollie Characteristics Birth date: 20/07/2023 Gender: Male Registered with LOF/LOSH/ISDS: No Disabilities: No Child compatibility: From adolescence (not used to children) Dog compatibility: Yes Cat compatibility: No Other compatibility: No Character Loki is described by his owners as a soft, loyal teddy bear. The house where Loki lives and the surroundings are too crowded for him; he has no space to run. Loki is very stressed because of this and therefore becomes unmanageable during walks on the street; he gathers everything that moves and everything that is attached. The owners realize they are not giving Loki what he needs and wish him a calmer and more free home. History Loki arrived at his owners' home at 12 weeks old, right in the center of Nijmegen. It quickly became apparent that Loki was not comfortable in the crowd. Loki tried to "work" by gathering everything that moved. A private trainer was called for this and advised against walking him on the streets. This increased his frustration and the owners have no choice but to ask BLC to find a calmer home for Loki Loki is used to the cage, is comfortable in the car and can be left alone at home for several hours. He has taken some puppy classes and listens reasonably well. Loki has not been tested with sheep. He likes pull and thinking games! He is somewhat reserved towards people he doesn't know, but is curious about them. He jumps on familiar people and can bite them with enthusiasm. Loki really wants to meet other dogs and approaches them with sometimes too much enthusiasm.

Caractère: Loki est décrit par ses propriétaires comme un ours en peluche doux et fidèle. La maison dans laquelle Loki vit et les environs sont beaucoup trop encombrés pour lui ; il n'a pas d'espace pour courir. Loki est très stressé à cause de cela et est donc ingérable pendant les promenades dans la rue ; il rassemble tout ce qui bouge et tout ce qui est attaché. Les propriétaires se rendent compte qu'ils ne donne pas à Loki de quoi il a besoin et ils lui souhaitent un foyer plus calme et plus libre. Son histoire: Loki est arrivé chez ses propriétaires à l'âge de 12 semaines, en plein centre de Nijmegen. Il est vite apparu que Loki n'était pas à l'aise dans cette foule. Loki a cherché à "travailler" en rassemblant tout ce qui bougeait. Un entraîneur privé a été appelé pour cela et il a déconseillé de le promener dans les rues. Cela a aggravé sa frustration et ses propriétaires n'ont d'autre choix que de demander à BLC de trouver un foyer plus calme pour Loki Loki est habitué à la cage, il est à l'aise en voiture et peut rester seul à la maison pendant plusieurs heures. Il a suivi quelques leçons d'un cours pour chiots et écoute raisonnablement bien. Loki n'a pas été testé avec des moutons. Il aime les jeux de tirage et de réflexion ! Il est quelque peu réservé envers les gens qu'il ne connaît pas, mais il est curieux d'eux. Il saute sur les personnes familières et peut les mordre par enthousiasme. Loki veut vraiment rencontrer d'autres chiens et les aborde avec parfois trop d'enthousiasme. La personne qui a effectué la visite à domicile pour BLC écrit ce qui suit à propos de Loki : "Un jeune border collie super doux et obéissant qui veut vraiment faire quelque chose ; dehors, il veut "travailler" ensemble. Il a trouvé le "travail" lui-même en s'occupant de tout ce qui bouge et il est très persévérant. Il veut explorer le monde et il n'a pas l'occasion de le faire maintenant. En ce qui concerne son comportement de rassemblement extrême dans la rue, il y a beaucoup de travail à faire. En fait, Loki est encore un (grand) chiot qui n'a pas encore appris grand-chose. Il est plein d'énergie mais aussi de frustration". Le foyer idéal: Pour Loki, BLC recherche des adoptants qui veulent travailler avec lui et qui le guideront de manière décidée et patiente pour réorienter son comportement de rassemblement extrême vers des promenades agréables. Bien sûr, au fil du temps, il faudra aussi trouver dans quels sports canins Loki peut dépenser son énergie. BLC travaille avec un questionnaire, une visite à domicile et un contrat qui, entre autres, stipule que le nouveau propriétaire doit faire castrer Loki.

About Loki

What life with Loki looks like

Loki is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Border Line Collie in borderlinecollie.

A 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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

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. Border Line Collie 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 — Border Line Collie 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Border Line Collie 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 (FR). 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.
