Loki, a Wichita shelter's longest resident, seeks forever home with big yard
Named after the Norse trickster god, Loki the dog is in Wichita, Kansas — and needs a new home
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Loki, a dog living in Wichita, Kansas, is hoping that his unlucky days will end soon — and that he will find a forever home.
"He's a 2.5-year-old lovebug who loves running zoomies and giving kisses," Jordan Bani-Younes, director of communications at the Kansas Humane Society, told Fox News Digital.
Loki, described as a mixed-breed dog, has the unfortunate honor of being the longest resident at the Kansas Humane Society as of right now.

"He's super treat-motivated and is ready to learn all the tricks in his new home!"

Loki would do best at home with a large backyard, or one where he can be frequently walked, noted the shelter.

Loki weighs 50 pounds. He has been neutered, said the shelter.
The Kansas Humane Society also wants to make sure that any existing dog in a potential forever home is able to get along with Loki and his "very active play style."

Loki's adoption fee is "pick your price," meaning his forever family gets to decide how much they wish to donate to the Kansas Humane Society, Bani-Younes added.
