About Uma

Uma has a big personality and isn’t shy about letting you know when she’s had enough. She’s a loyal, playful mastiff, but because of a rough start, she doesn’t appreciate being hugged, restrained, or forced to do anything. You’ll need patience and a steady hand to earn her trust, but with food as motivation, she’s eager to learn and picks up new commands fast. Once Uma feels comfortable, she shows her softer side—curling up next to you, doling out kisses, and getting silly during playtime. She can get overstimulated, but a treat or a few commands will help her settle down. Uma gets along well with cats and does well with older children, but she’s not dog friendly and needs an adults-or-older-kids home. She also requires extra attention during vet visits, including special handling and medication. Uma is in Wichita, KS, waiting for the right people willing to respect her boundaries and let her shine. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
