LOKI

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

This story doesn't start in the best way, but it's a story that awaits a happy ending! So far, it seems like a normal life. LOKI grows, becomes an adult, but suddenly, its family decides they no longer want it and abandon it at this breed shelter 💔. For LOKI, after 2 years at home, being suddenly dropped off at the shelter after just one day was a real trauma💥. Shaken, scared, and hurt, LOKI tries to regain trust in its environment and in humans. Today, LOKI is a different dog from when it arrived, but it still has a lot of need for security, patience, and love. For LOKI, we are looking for a solid reference figure with experience, capable of managing its hyperactivity, who has an active lifestyle, loves nature, and has time for long walks. No kids – No cats 🐱. Compatible with female dogs. 🏡 LOKI also needs physical space (a house with a garden or large green areas). LOKI is 4 years old, carrying a bag of suffering that it's trying to overcome, but in this, the life at the dog shelter doesn't help. ❤️LOKI is waiting for the right human to hold its paw 🐾 forever.

Questa storia non inizia nel migliore dei modi, ma è una storia che attende un lieto fine! Fin qui sembra una vita normale. LOKI cresce , diventa adulto ma all’improvviso la sua famiglia decide di non volerlo più e lo abbandona in canile 💔. Per lui dopo 2 anni a casa , ritrovarsi da un giorno all’altro in Canile è stato un vero trauma💥. Scosso , spaventato e ferito LOKI cerca di recuperare la fiducia nell’ambiente e nell’uomo. Oggi LOKI è un cane diverso da quando è arrivato, ma ha ancora tanto bisogno di sicurezze pazienza e amore. Per lui ricerchiamo una figura di riferimento solida, con esperienza, capace di gestire la sua iperattività, che abbia uno stile di vita attivo, amante della natura e che abbia tempo per lunghe passeggiate. No bambini – No gatti 🐈‍⬛. Compatibile con cani femmina . 🏡 LOKI ha anche bisogno di uno spazio fisico ( casa con giardino o grandi aree verdi ). LOKI ha 4 anni , un bagaglio di sofferenza che sta cercando di superare ma in questo la vita di canile non lo aiuta . ❤️Sta aspettando l’umano giusto che stringa la sua zampa 🐾 per sempre .

About LOKI

What life with LOKI looks like

LOKI is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Sezione Torino in Torino.

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 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. ENPA Sezione Torino 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 — ENPA Sezione Torino 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 ENPA Sezione Torino 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.
