Meet Rumi, a fluffy little cloud with giant paws, a gentle heart, and absolutely no respect for your kitchen counters.
Rumi's story didn't start with soft beds and puppy toys. She and her two sisters were found abandoned in a ditch in rural Virginia, left to fend for themselves far too young. Thankfully, compassionate rescuers and an experienced foster network stepped in to change the course of her life forever. Despite her heartbreaking beginning, Rumi has remained incredibly loving, sweet, and trusting – proof that some dogs are just born with extra sunshine in their souls.
Like any Great Pyrenees puppy, Rumi is equal parts majestic angel and adorable chaos goblin. Her current hobbies include eating like it's a competitive sport, chewing things that absolutely are not chew toys, performing Olympic-level zoomies around the kitchen island, and dramatically throwing herself on and off the couch for entertainment purposes. She's also a professional cuddle enthusiast.
Rumi can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a little patience, some gentle affection, and maybe a snack or two, and she quickly melts into a loving, affectionate snuggle bug. Once she trusts you, she's all about couch cuddles, pets, and following her foster siblings around like she's part of a fluffy little wolf pack.
With other dogs, Rumi is incredibly submissive and friendly. She happily plays with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and seems determined to make friends everywhere she goes. She hasn't been tested with cats yet, but her overall temperament is very gentle and well-rounded.
Ideal Home
Rumi is still very much a baby and is not house-trained yet. She is also a jumper, a little mouthy, and is already discovering the exciting world of counter surfing thanks to her growing size. Future adopters should be prepared for basic puppy training and continued socialization.
Ongoing Health
All age-appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care are covered by the adoption fee.
Training & Support
Rumi is still learning house-training skills, and you can expect to have to train. She is a quick learner. Puppies require training, so this puppy is no different. We highly encourage enrolling in a training program to teach your new addition good manners and to help her be well-socialized. Please remember puppies demand a lot of your time and pets are a commitment for life.
