Rumi Cutie the Total Sweetheart

Everything about Rumi Cutie can best be described as absolute perfection. She is an incredibly sweet and loving girl who wants to be everyone's best friend. Rumi absolutely adores everyone she meets and melts into you any chance she gets. She has a heart of gold and radiates happiness wherever she goes. You can't help but smile when you're around her, especially when she looks up at you with those gorgeous big brown puppy-dog eyes and her sweet, innocent grin.

Rumi Cutie is believed to be a pittie mix approximately 6 years old and currently weighs 53 lbs. She is a rescue dog, so breed and age are a best guess.

Ideal Home

Rumi would thrive in a home with a backyard where she can stretch her legs, practice her mini zoomies, sunbathe during beautiful summer days, and explore all the interesting smells. At the same time, we also think she has the potential to thrive in an apartment or condo setting with proper exercise and socialization. She really doesn't need much. A nice walk, a trip to the park, or some mental enrichment games around the house are usually enough to keep her happy. Truthfully, she'll often tire herself out just by playing with a toy. We can easily picture Rumi being your lazy Sunday snuggle buddy and your Saturday morning adventure partner. She truly offers the best of both worlds.

Rumi is dog friendly and has been around a variety of dogs with different personalities, sizes, and temperaments. While she isn't the type that's constantly looking for a wrestling partner, she enjoys the company of other dogs and is more of a relaxed hangout kind of girl. She tends to prefer dogs that share her cool, calm, and collected approach to life. In a home, we think she would do best with a medium-energy male dog who enjoys having a companion around but isn't looking for a nonstop playmate. That said, Rumi absolutely does not need another dog in the home to be happy. She loves people so much and thrives on human affection. Honestly, she has enough love to give that it feels like three dogs packed into one. She's something special.

Rumi also met our house cat, Biggie, and handled the introduction beautifully. She was respectful, appropriate, and showed no interest in chasing him. She wasn't bothered by Biggie jumping around or doing typical cat things, and Biggie seemed comfortable around her as well. We don't know whether Rumi has lived with cats before, as this was our first time seeing her interact with one, but based on what we observed, she did wonderfully. If you have a cat at home, we can arrange a sleepover with a cat upon request so you can see how she does.

Rumi is wonderfully patient and calm with children, even as young as 5 years old. She isn't fazed by the busy energy that can come with little ones. Jumping, squealing, sudden movements, excited storytelling, etc. Rumi handles it all with calm patience. She takes treats softly and carefully from tiny hands and seems to have a natural understanding of how to be gentle around children. She happily accepted all of their affection and attention while remaining calm and respectful throughout their interactions. She truly has the makings of a wonderful family dog.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned.

Training & Support

When it comes to training, Rumi is eager to learn and loves treats. She already knows a few basic commands, including sit and down, and she's the kind of dog that genuinely wants to make her people happy. She walks nicely on leash and only pulls occasionally, usually when she catches an especially interesting smell. She responds well to gentle correction and is eager to please. Rumi also has wonderful house manners and is both crate and potty trained.
