Loki

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Loki is a 4 year old collie x setter mix. He is a sensational looking dog – tall with a long lush coat, and some of the spotty features of the English setter on his legs and chest. He is neutered and fully house trained and is ready to look for his new home. Loki came into the centre as his family did not have a secure garden and could not always trust him to stay within their boundary. Also, they had lots of visiting children who tended to make him anxious so it just wasn’t working. Loki is a very happy dog, he is exceptional with other dogs and he loves to go on big walks and play with toys. Loki is very affectionate and listens to commands like “sit”, “paw”, “down” , “stay” and many more. He still needs some continued training off the lead and with recall because his focus is more Setter than collie – a touch daft! At the centre here, when we call the dogs back on their offlead walks he happily comes with them, so learning by being with another dog in the home could be a big benefit. Otherwise, an owner who has experience using a long-line with offlead training (or similar) would be great. We would like a home without young kids, best would be only adults, but he does well with teenagers 15+. A secure garden is preferrable and an active, hands-on, loving home is essential for him.

About Loki

What life with Loki looks like

Loki is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at West Cork Animals in Cork.

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 Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

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. West Cork Animals 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 — West Cork Animals 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 West Cork Animals 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.
