A lifetime of love, patience, and commitment
Lumi has already proven how resilient he is. Now he's simply waiting for the family who will show him that he'll never have to face the world alone again.
Training, Adjustment & What to Expect
Like all puppies, Lumi is still learning about the world around him. His adopter should expect normal puppy behaviors such as chewing, teething, occasional accidents, and testing boundaries as he grows.
Because Lumi comes from two highly intelligent and active breeds, early training and continued enrichment will be especially important. He learns quickly and enjoys engaging with people, making him an excellent candidate for obedience training, hiking adventures, scent games, and interactive activities that keep both his body and mind busy.
Lumi will benefit from:
Positive reinforcement training
House-training and a consistent daily routine
Daily exercise and supervised play
Continued socialization with people, dogs, and new environments
Mental enrichment through puzzle toys, scent games, and training
Patience, consistency, and encouragement
Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule:
3 days to decompress
3 weeks to learn your routine
3 months to fully feel at home
With love, guidance, and patience, Lumi will grow into an incredible companion who will reward his family with unwavering loyalty and endless affection.
Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care
Bringing home a puppy is a lifelong commitment that includes training, exercise, companionship, and routine veterinary care.
Lumi will need:
Completion of his puppy vaccine schedule and routine wellness examinations
Neutering when age-appropriate if not already completed
Preventative flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite protection
Proper nutrition to support healthy growth
Daily physical exercise and mental enrichment
Continued obedience training and socialization
A safe, stable indoor living environment
Because Lumi is still growing, strenuous repetitive exercise and excessive jumping should be limited until his joints have fully developed. His family should work closely with their veterinarian to ensure he receives the proper nutrition and preventative care needed throughout puppyhood.
Lumi is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside.
