Loki

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Hi! I'm Loki. A small tough guy with a feisty face and a big talent for mischief. I'm super sweet, love to play and a ball? You can wake me up in the middle of the night for that! My start wasn't so great. My previous owner couldn't take care of me anymore and I ended up neglected. Luckily I ended up at DOA and now I get the chance to look for my own nice home. I like to pretend I'm a tough boy, but honestly... sometimes there's also a little shy dog under that tough face. Unexpected movements and sounds can really scare me. Then I just watch the cat from the tree. The world is still new to me and I have to discover that not everything is exciting. But give me some time, patience and trust and you'll get a really fun buddy back! p.s. I also have some brothers and sisters who are looking for a home.

Hoi! Ik ben Loki. Een klein stoer kereltje met een pittig koppie en een groot talent voor kattenkwaad. Ik ben superlief, dol op spelen en een balletje? Daar mag je me gerust midden in de nacht voor wakker maken! Mijn start was helaas niet zo fijn. Mijn vorige baasje kon niet meer goed voor mij zorgen en ik ben daardoor verwaarloosd geraakt. Gelukkig ben ik bij DOA terechtgekomen en krijg ik nu de kans om op zoek te gaan naar mijn eigen fijne thuis. Ik doe graag alsof ik een hele stoere jongen ben, maar eerlijk is eerlijk… soms zit er onder dat stoere koppie ook een klein verlegen hondje. Onverwachte bewegingen en geluiden kunnen mij behoorlijk laten schrikken. Dan kijk ik toch even de kat uit de boom. De wereld is voor mij nog nieuw en ik moet nog ontdekken dat niet alles spannend is. Maar geef mij wat tijd, geduld en vertrouwen en je krijgt er een ontzettend leuk maatje voor terug! p.s. Ik heb ook nog wat broertjes en zusjes die een huisje zoeken.

About Loki

What life with Loki looks like

Loki is a large puppy/kitten staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇳🇱Adopting from Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

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. DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam 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 — DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam 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 DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam 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 (NL). 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.
