Umi is a beautiful 7–8 month old German Shepherd mix, weighing about 45 lbs. She was abandoned as a tiny puppy and found wandering the streets, but despite her rough start, Umi has grown into a joyful, loving, and trusting girl. She loves walks, does very well on the leash, and enjoys exploring her surroundings. Umi is very social and affectionate, always ready to greet new people with tail wags and cuddles. She’s playful, energetic, and loves to run — it seems she never runs out of energy! Like any young pup, Umi is still learning (and she loves to chew!), but with guidance, playtime, and plenty of exercise, she will thrive. She isn’t a fan of cats and is a bit scared of fireworks, but her sweet nature shines through in everything she does. Umi is ready to bring joy, energy, and endless affection to a family who will love her forever.

Transportation
Umi is currently being fostered in Saltillo, Mexico and is ready to travel to the East Coast on our next cross-country trip. We organize 3-4 trips per year for door-to-door delivery. Our contracted transport company collects adopted pets and travels to Montana, then into Texas for U.S. adoptions. For Canadian adoptions, pets are delivered to the nearest US-Canada border. A transport fee of $400 USD covers the cost from Mexico to your home. You will receive real-time updates throughout the journey.
