lumi

Meet Lumi! This gorgeous Chi girl greets life (and everyone she meets) with her whole entire body.

Lumi is sweet, affectionate, and deeply devoted to her people, with a personality that somehow manages to be both cozy companion and joyful little burst of energy all at once. The highlight of Lumi’s day is seeing you, and she makes sure you know it: her otherwise calm demeanor instantly transforms into a full-body celebration, complete with tail wags at the speed of light, tiny snorts, and a level of excitement that feels wildly disproportionate (in the best way) to her size.

Lumi is happiest when she’s close to her people. She doesn’t need to be on top of you at all times, but she very much prefers to be nearby, keeping tabs on your movements and making sure she’s included in whatever you’re doing. She loves walks, enjoys being active, and would thrive with a family that’s excited to take her out and about. At the same time, she’s perfectly content winding down on the couch in the evenings, just happy to be part of your routine.

Lumi also has a wonderfully funny side. When it’s mealtime, Lumi doesn’t just get excited—she performs, dancing and tapping her little feet like she’s been waiting her whole life for this exact moment. It’s hard not to laugh, and even harder not to fall completely in love.

Lumi is making great progress with potty training and continues to improve. She walks well on leash, sleeps through the night, and is fine when left home alone. She does get a bit anxious in the car, so that’s something her future family can help her build confidence around. She’s also currently awaiting results following the removal of a mammary tumor, but otherwise is a healthy, vibrant little dog who is very much enjoying life.

Lumi would do best in a home that will take her on regular walks, keep her engaged, and give her the closeness she loves so much. She is good with cats and other dogs, loves children, and has a friendly, easygoing nature that makes her a great fit for many homes. She does have a curious, adventurous streak and is quick to slip out doors if given the chance, so a secure environment with fences outside and awareness around open doors is key.

Lumi brings a kind of joy that sneaks up on you: suddenly your days revolve around her greetings, her routines, and the way she makes even ordinary moments feel like something worth celebrating.

Lumi is approximately 9 years old and 12 lbs.
