Loki

Loki

Meet our gorgeous sweetheart, the meatball chonky boof head Loki.

Loki is a stunning American Staffy built like a tank with the heart of a Angel

Sadly Lokis former owner had become seriously ill and was no longer able to keep him
Loki is not tall, well under knee height.

He’s built and ripped but has the personality of a big smoochy teddy bear so all you staffy lovers don’t miss out on our big fella

Loki has loads of love to give ❤️

Favourite things

Hanging out with his humans,

Couch snoozes

Chewing bones and cow hooves

Saying hello to everyone for a belly rub

Interactions with people

Loki loves people

Wants to be everyone’s best friend especially when you give him a tummy rub and he rolls over for that often 😊

He can be a little jumpy so we are looking for a family with teenage plus as he is solid, bit like a wombat

Interaction with other animals

When on walks Loki does get excited to see other dogs and will want to go to meet them, he will use his staffy squeals of excitement

Loki has been tested on lead with a number of different size dogs and he is polite in meeting dogs, not overly dominant, lots of tail wags. He has tried to engage in play with dogs and enjoyed an off lead play with a 12 month old playful dog. He was observed to be gentle in play so we feel he would suit a female dog of similar size or larger than him. He does get a little upset by barking, boisterous or aggressive dogs so being a big strong boy we recommend he socialize with well socialized friendly familiar

dogs similar size to him just to be safe. Slow introductions on lead at first

Loki can be stubborn and will just not move till he’s ready and doesn’t seem to like particularly long walks

Independence

Loki does initially get a bit unsettled when you leave the home or if you are inside and he’s out so whoever is his new person needs to have him as a big part of the family

He does settle once outside if you are at work and he is given hooves and bones to keep him busy

Loki has not been destructive other than a bit of scratching on the door to come inside

Obedience

Loki has not had a lot of training so will benefit from someone who will be consistent and patient with him and teach him the ropes. He’s a good fella just never been taught properly. He will sit for treats and learning to sit for pats

Inside to home

This meatball gets excited when he first sees you then he will settle and cuddle with you or do his staffy stretch on the rug

Sleep

Loki sleeps inside on his mat

He is quiet inside at night

Toileting

Loki has had a few accidents inside and this is not uncommon for highly stressed dog when they have had their world turned upside down

Loki just needs to be toileted regularly

Car travel

Loki initially had to be encouraged to get in the car and needed help to get his big butt into the car. He has now learnt car rides are fun. Once he is in the car he travels well, no barking.

Hygiene and grooming

Easy to care for coat

Loves a good scratch

Some supervision around toileting to be expected, a doggy door would be ideal

Food

Loki is being fed dry food twice a day.

Walking and exercise

Well !! he don’t like to walk to much!!

He’s a bit of a lazy butt in this area lol

Loki can be strong on the lead and can be very stubborn if he doesn’t want to walk!!! so he will need someone that can handle his strength on lead

If he sees another dog he will want to say hello. He is fine as long as dogs are not reactive to him.

Ideal home

Loki will only be rehomed with someone experienced with staffy breeds or large dog breeds

He is a strong boy so owner must be robust

A home where he is part of the family inside

Teenagers and up just due to his size, may knock small children over

No apartment living

Large well socialized FEMALE dog for company if possible

A family commitment to training this amazing boy
