Compass Rose Rescue- Maryland

***Emergency Foster or ADOPTER needed***

Loki recently went to foster to adopt, however the one dog in the home is not getting along with poor Loki & his previous foster can not take him bak due to a family emergency.

Currently located in Caroll County,

Written by Loki’s (formally Rambo) Foster Mom:

💙 Meet Loki –A Husky’s Beauty with a Lab’s Heart 💙

Have you dreamed of having a Husky but with lab characteristics? Well we may have the one for you……

Meet Loki, a five year old stunning husky with soulful eyes and a gentle, loyal spirit. While he has the striking looks of a husky, his personality leans more towards that of a laid back lab.
He’s affectionate & friendly, however he spends most of his time always ready for snuggles on the couch🛋️ .

Loki is wonderful with other dogs 🐕 and great with kids👦– he thrives in a family setting where he can be part of the action. He’s social, people-oriented, and loves being involved in your daily life💕. Loki is truly happiest by your side.

While Loki doesn’t have a prey drive at this time we still feel Loki would do best in a cat-free home.

Loki came to us as a survivor of the urgent/euthanasia list with just hours to spare, however he is more than just a rescue – he’s a loyal friend,a heart-healer and a amazing boy who just deserves a family to be his forever.

🐾 It’s time to open your heart and home — Loki’s forever can start with you! 🐾

💕💕💕Meet Layla!💕💕💕
An excellent catcher⚾️ in search of an all-star pitcher.

Weighing in at about 75lbs, this 4 year old German Shepard girl is soft as velvet, with soulful brown eyes and a ball-obsession🎾!
Her foster mom reports:
“She gives older-sister-energy, correcting and perimeter guarding her doggy friends and smooshing them from time to time because they make good pillows🛏️. She wants someone to play with (my dog is lazy), so she would do well with another similar-sized dog🐶. No cats 🐱or other small animals -- though she enjoys chasing them, she is not even a little bit gentle in administering her affections and may think cats are plotting to take over the world😅.

She is very smart and teachable🎓, has done well in training class (a squeaky ball rather than treats works best for her), and is house-trained.

She does not chew things she isn’t supposed to, is easily corrected to leave it (unless it’s food, but she was concerningly thin so time and abundance is reducing that “eat what you can when you can” impulse and she is learning to sit and wait for permission), and can be alone overnight without worrying about shoes/couches/etc.

She snoozes 😴happily near me while I work, and greets people politely, but also does not seem aware of how big she is (or how big her teeth are), so cautious introduction to small humans will be needed.

She does pull on the leash, but more training will help with that, and her recall is improving. She is crate-trained, but I leave the door open for her, and she mostly uses it as a ball-and-treat-hoarding station.

She does get car sick 🚗if a car ride is longer than about 20 minutes but is a good passenger otherwise.

She did well at her grooming appointments, getting a bath🛁, brushing, drying and nail trim. She also enjoys “spa time” at night, as I have been using musher’s secret to clean up her paw pads and was treating hot spots under her arms caused by shaving her at the shelter. She loves being wiped down or towel dried but merely endures (with sad puppy eyes) a hose bath.

She does not bark. I’m so used to a talkative husky (my lazy dog) that I expected to be serenaded with barks and whines regularly, but she is nearly silent.

She shares her toys and treats and even food well with her dog friends, but you should use the “give” or “drop it” command when it comes to the squeaky balls (at least until she is comfortable with you), as she will put her mouth on you (no biting) to express her displeasure at taking a ball. It only happened once with me, but when my colleagues tried to play with her, they needed to give the command every time. Balls are very important to her… (and her adoption includes all of her favorites!)”
