About Yumi

Yumi is a 2.5-year-old American Bulldog mix in Minneapolis, MN, with a knack for exploring and an eagerness to be near her people. Weighing around 50 lbs, she brings together sweetness and energy, filling her downtime with silly noises and plenty of snuggling. She’s house-trained, crate-trained, and keeps a peaceful home by lounging quietly when left alone. Yumi thrives on connection, whether she's relaxing inside or taking a slow walk to sniff and observe. She’s in the middle of training, learning self-control, leash skills, and good manners around the house, with a bright, responsive mind that loves enrichment games and food puzzles. Positive reinforcement goes a long way with her. She can be a bit fearful of men if pushed too fast, a tendency her former foster noticed, and does much better with patient guidance. Yumi makes playful companionship look easy, but she’s also learning to enjoy calm, restful moments. She’s had friendly experiences with other dogs before, but recent leg pain made her patience thin, so a calm, structured environment (with slow introductions to other dogs) serves her best. Cats are not her thing—she cannot live with them. She'll do great in a household ready to continue her training and offer leadership. With commitment and care, Yumi will make a devoted, loving companion. Ready to start your journey together! Apply now.
