Loki

Australian Shepherd · Male · Young · 1 year

Loki est un jeune chien d’apparence Berger Australien d’un an qui recherche une famille prête à l’accompagner dans son apprentissage et à lui offrir un cadre de vie adapté à ses besoins. Il est arrivé au refuge car sa propriétaire rencontrait des difficultés à gérer son comportement avec les enfants, qu’il avait tendance à pincer. Loki n’apprécie pas l’agitation et nous souhaitons donc lui trouver un foyer stable et calme, où il pourra s’épanouir sereinement. Comme tout jeune chien, Loki aura besoin d’éducation, de patience et de dépenses quotidiennes, aussi bien physiques qu’intellectuelles. Il a besoin d’un cadre cohérent et rassurant pour apprendre à gérer ses émotions et progresser à son rythme. Malgré cela, Loki se montre très agréable, adorable et à l’écoute. Avec un peu de travail et une famille investie, il a tout pour devenir une véritable perle ! Bien sociabilisé avec ses congénères, il s’entend avec la plupart des chiens. En revanche, il ne s’entend pas avec les chats. Nous recherchons pour lui un foyer sans agitation, avec des enfants de plus de 10 ans capables de respecter ses besoins et ses limites. Loki a vécu en maison, mais s’il sait rester calme lors des absences, la vie en appartement pourrait également lui convenir. Loki est encore jeune et a tout à apprendre. Offrez-lui la chance de grandir auprès d’une famille patiente et bienveillante, qui saura l’aider à devenir le chien équilibré et épanoui qu’il peut être !

About Loki

What life with Loki looks like

Loki is a young adult australian shepherd dog waiting at SPA Colmar in France.

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. SPA Colmar 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 — SPA Colmar 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 SPA Colmar 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.
