Loki is likely a chihuahua-terrier mix with whitish-tan wiry fur.

Loki is affectionate and sweet. Like many small dogs he has a big personality. He came from a home with a lot of dogs that was chaotic and stressful. As a result, at first, until he trusts a person, he prefers to be respected in the sense of being in charge of when he gets picked up and cuddled. Loki is making good progress with crate- and house-training. Fiesty and energetic, he is somewhat barky, and so would do best in a detached home. His ideal adopter would be an experienced dog handler without children who is familiar with his breeds, who has a quiet life without a lot of people coming and going. He may do fine with one laid-back dog.

IAR subsidizes post-adoption professional training with Jane Marshall (www.cheerydogs.com) to encourage a life-long and successful bond between the dog and the adopter. Group classes for puppies and adult dogs are provided at a substantial discount to IAR adopters.
