YUMI - AMERICAN BULLDOG / TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Bulldog / Terrier / Mixed. Yumi is a 2-year-old Bulldog mix who is eager to explore the world around her! Weighing in at 50 lbs, she makes the silliest noises when she's sleeping or sniffing on a walk, and her adorable full-body wiggles are sure to bring joy to any home. This sweet girl was a little anxious when adjusting to her foster home, so she had extra puzzles and enrichment, and found a safe space in her crate when she was overwhelmed. She is house-trained, crate-trained, and makes for a great roommate because of how she loves to lounge and snuggle—especially when belly rubs are involved!—and isn't noisy when left alone. Her favorite thing is getting comfy on the couch with you and snuggling up in some blankets. She is such a sweet silly girl who loves attention and being involved, but is also happy to go nap while you need your own space. Yumi thrives on mental stimulation and loves food puzzles, learning new tricks, and going on adventures. Her foster family says she does well with a mix of short and long walks throughout the day (totaling 45-90 minutes per day). She will require a fenced yard in her future home to meet her energy energy needs. When she's at home, she's happy to sniff around, play with soft toys and chew on a kong. This brave girl has been through a lot—she survived living on the street and later recovered from hip surgery with incredible resilience. She still has some chronic hip and leg issues that require daily supplements and medication, but none of that stops her from living life to the fullest. She gets very curious about anything new and learns very quickly, so she should do well when introduced to new friends. Yumi is very excited to meet other dogs and has done well with almost all dogs she has been introduced to. She would love to go to a family who helps her learn how to meet new dog friends easily so she can have fun! Yumi has also met a couple kids and it has gone well, but has not lived with any. Her foster family is currently training her with slow, proper introductions when meeting cats, so Yumi will need a cat-free home at this time. If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate dog who’s eager to learn and cuddle, Yumi might be the perfect match for you!
