Rumi

Description

Meet Rumi! Rumi is a 16 week old, 27 pound, fun-loving, highly intelligent puppy with a playful spirit and a heart full of love. Play is her whole personality—whether she’s chasing toys, learning new tricks, exploring, or making friends, she is always ready for her next adventure. She is incredibly smart, attentive, and eager to learn. Rumi loves training and catches on quickly especially if treats are involved. She already knows basic commands (when she chooses to listen lol) and enjoys having a job to do. She is very people-focused and loves being included in whatever her family is doing. Rumi loves people and has been around young children. Because she is still a young, high-energy puppy, she can be mouthy and may play rough or get nippy when excited. She will do best with continued training, consistency, and supervision around small children as she learns appropriate play manners. She is kennel trained and may cry for a few minutes at first before relaxing. She also loves her car rides. Rumi gets along well with other dogs and has been around cats. She may chase cats because she wants to play, but responds well to correction and is learning to respect their boundaries. She has also been introduced to chickens. Because she has a strong prey drive and is still a puppy, she should not be left unsupervised with poultry and will need continued training and management around smaller animals. Rumi would be a wonderful companion for an active family looking for a loyal, intelligent, playful dog who is ready to learn, explore, and be your best friend. She is full of personality, confidence, and love—and with continued guidance, she is going to grow into an amazing companion. She would love a doggy playmate friend, as she is so active and playful. A 6 foot fenced in yard would be ideal, so she can run and play safely.If you're interested in adding Rumi to your family, please contact your adoption coordinator.
