Please Contact Bianca, 623-512-5773, bpulidoemail.arizona.edu: Meet Loki — the sweetest girl looking for a patient and loving forever home. Loki may have had a tough start in life, rescued from MCACC after being found as a stray, but you’d never know it from her joyful personality. Since joining her foster family, she has shown nothing but sweetness, loyalty, and a whole lot of love. She has been a companion for the family’s older pitbull, who has since found an new forever home, for the last several years. Loki is full of life—she loves to play fetch/tug-a-war, eat treats, chew on her toys, and be right in the middle of the fun. Chew toys are an absolute MUST for this girl. The more indestructible, the better. They help keep her calm, happy, and out of mischief. A home that keeps tempting items out of reach and provides plenty of durable toys would be ideal. She is great and calm during car rides and at the vet office with staff. She is also great on a leash and walks well alongside you, but she can become reactive when she sees another dog. Her foster family is actively working on this using positive reinforcement and treat-based training, and she’s already making steady progress. Her forever home should be patient, committed to continuing her training, and comfortable helping her work through her reactivity with consistency, structure, and kindness. Because of this, Loki is best suited for a home without cats or small dogs. She has lived with another large dog successfully for the past few years, but new large dogs should be introduced slowly and preferably with calm, even-tempered, non-reactive personalities. At home, Loki is housebroken, loves to lounge around, and does wonderfully with loud noises. She is not crate trained. Loki can get excited and forget her size, sometimes trying to hop up for attention or curl into your lap like she’s a tiny lap dog. Because of her strength and enthusiasm, a home without small children or elderly individuals is recommended. With people, she is incredibly loving and gentle—no aggression, no hesitation, just pure affection. The way she looks at you with her big smile and icy blue eyes could brighten anyone’s day. She’s looking for a forever home that will give her structure, patience, plenty of playtime, and all the love she deserves. Meet Loki today—your new best friend is waiting.

Overview:
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a robust and intelligent breed, originating in the United States from crossbreeding Old English Terriers and Old English Bulldogs for dog-fighting purposes. Physically, they are medium-sized, known for their muscular build, broad heads, and powerful jaws, typically weighing between 30-60 pounds. Their coats are short and come in a wide array of colors. Temperamentally, a well-socialized APBT is often described as loyal, affectionate, and people-oriented, displaying a playful and sometimes clownish demeanor. They can be excellent family companions, provided they receive consistent training and early socialization, though their high energy levels mean they thrive with active owners. While they can adapt to apartment living with sufficient exercise, a house with a secure yard is often preferred. Notable health considerations include a predisposition to hip and elbow dysplasia, allergies, and certain heart conditions.
