About Rumi

Meet Rumi, a 4-year-old Akita mix with a beautiful dark brindle coat accented by soft cream on her chin, chest, and legs. It's as if she’s been dipped halfway in white chocolate! She has faced challenges in her life, evident from the old scars on her face, and the shelter setting has left her feeling timid and uncertain, often retreating to the back of her kennel. But patience is key. Once Rumi feels safe, her sweet and loving spirit shines through. This girl has so much love to give; she just needs someone who can help her regain her confidence and show her that the world can be kind. If you take a chance on Rumi, you're likely to find a loyal companion ready to share a lifetime of love. Rumi is a spayed female, weighing 66 pounds, looking for a caring home. She came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center as a stray and may need some vaccinations, but the shelter will assist with those. While she may appear shy now, give her the chance to decompress, and her vibrant personality will emerge. Rumi craves companionship and deserves a family that understands and appreciates her fiercely loyal nature. Think you could be that family? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
