How do I contact the shelter about Loki?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs 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 — Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs 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 Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs 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 (DE). 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.

Adopt Loki

German Shepherd · Male · Young · 1 year

Loki – friendly young German Shepherd-male dog Loki is a friendly young German Shepherd-male dog. He has barely had the chance to learn anything in his short life, but he is very typical of his breed and eager to make up for lost time. Loki wants to do something with a person and shows a great willingness to learn. Of course, Loki needs people by his side who are ready and able to teach him the basics of being a dog. Attending a good dog training class would certainly be beneficial. He also gets along well with his fellow animals but should also have the opportunity to gain more experiences. Loki loves people, wants to please them, is curious, eager to learn, and cuddly. However, he needs people by his side who can give him security and guide him with patience, clarity, and friendly consistency. For example, Loki reacts to movement stimuli like cyclists, which needs to be worked on. Then, Loki would be a great dog for active dog lovers! Loki is in a foster home in the Canton of St. Gallen.

Loki – freundlicher junger Schäferhund-Rüde Loki ist ein freundlicher junger Schäferhund-Rüde. Er durfte noch praktisch nichts kennenlernen in seinem bisherigen Leben, ist aber rassetypisch sehr bereit, dies nachzuholen. Loki möchte mit dem Menschen zusammen etwas unternehmen und er zeigt sich dabei sehr lernfreudig. Natürlich braucht Loki Menschen an seiner Seite, die bereit und in der Lage sind, ihm noch das Hunde-ABC beizubringen. Der Besuch einer guten Hundeschule ist sicher sinnvoll. Auch mit seinen Artgenossen kommt Loki grundsätzlich klar, darf aber auch hier noch weitere Erfahrungen sammeln. Loki liebt Menschen, er möchte gefallen, ist neugierig, lernwillig und verschmust. Er braucht aber Menschen an seiner Seite, die ihm Sicherheit geben und ihn mit Geduld, Klarheit und freundlicher Konsequenz führen können. So reagiert Loki z.B. auf Bewegungsreize wie Fahrradfahrer. Daran muss weiter gearbeitet werden. Dann ist Loki ein ganz toller Hund für aktive Hundefreunde! Loki ist auf einer Pflegestelle im Kanton St. Gallen.

About Loki

What life with Loki looks like

Loki is a medium-sized young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs in Yourheart4dogs.

An 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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
