About Rumi

Rumi is a squishy, fluffy Great Pyrenees puppy who looks like a miniature polar bear with giant paws and enough energy to keep your whole house busy. Abandoned young with her sisters, she lucked out with a caring foster and quickly proved she's all heart—sweet, trusting, and resilient. Rumi’s a puppy in every sense: she devours food, zooms around like a comet, chews shoes that aren’t toys, and flops on and off the couch with drama. Her gentle, friendly nature shines through with other dogs, and she melts for cuddles once she trusts you. A little shy at first, she soon turns into a butt-wiggling, affectionate shadow, always ready to follow her foster pack or curl up for a nap in your lap. Rumi isn’t house trained yet but is learning crate manners fast—occasional accidents come with the territory. Expect some jumping and mouthiness as she discovers her surroundings, including how to reach the kitchen counters. She’ll thrive with patient adopters committed to positive training, plenty of play, and a regular brushing routine. Rumi is the sort of dog who rewards your effort with loyalty and goofiness for life. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
