Umi

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 is not a fan of cats.

Ideal Home

Umi would thrive in an active family that enjoys outdoor activities and is looking for a dog with a true intention to rescue. She needs a home with a tall fenced backyard and families with experience in dog behavior and training, or those willing to hire a trainer. She is not a fan of cats.

Ongoing Health

Umi has received a spay/neuter certificate, DHPPI and Rabies vaccines, a Bordetella vaccine, and has been dewormed. She is microchipped, and has a negative 4DX and heartworm test certificate. She is on monthly preventive protection with Nexgard Spectra for fleas, ticks, and heartworm, and has a health certificate and vaccine booklet.

Training & Support

Umi is still learning and loves to chew, which is common for her age. She is not house-trained, and owners should expect an adjustment period with patience and understanding. She is also a bit scared of fireworks.
