More about Lumi-ARR

Meet Lumi Lumi is a sweet, tender-hearted puppy mill momma who is finally getting the chance to live life just for herself. After spending her early years caring for others, she is now discovering what it means to be safe, loved, and part of a family — and she’s making steady, heartwarming progress every day. Naturally gentle and a bit shy, Lumi can startle with sudden movements at first. But once she feels secure, she becomes a devoted little shadow who loves staying close to her person. In foster care, she has truly begun to blossom, even revealing a playful, slightly mischievous side when she feels comfortable and confident. Lumi thrives in the company of other dogs and gains confidence by watching and interacting with them. She loves playtime with her doggy pals, happily chews on toys and bones, enjoys snack time, and adores curling up for cozy naps — especially on the bed. A home with a confident companion dog would be ideal to help her continue building confidence and navigating the world. She is still learning household routines and does best with structure and consistency. Lumi has made encouraging progress with her potty habits and shows a genuine desire to “do the right thing” as she continues learning. Leashes, collars, being picked up, and cold weather can still feel a bit overwhelming, but with patience, gentle guidance, and time, she continues to grow braver and more trusting. Lumi would do best in a calm, patient home that understands the unique journey of a former puppy mill dog. Respectful children over 8 would be welcome, and a securely fenced yard is recommended to allow her to explore safely and confidently at her own pace. Lumi’s journey is just beginning. She is ready for a forever home where she can continue healing, building confidence, and finally being someone’s cherished girl. Lumi's adoption donation is $500, and she is being fostered in Central Ohio. She is fully vetted and ready for her forever home — she has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on her vaccines, including rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella. Lumi has tested negative for heartworm and has been started on heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and she has also had a dental cleaning.
