My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello my name is: Lumi. My nickname is: "The Lumiest" My breed is: Great Pyrenees

My age is: around one year old

My favorite thing to eat is: Dog Delights chicken sticks. 

My funniest quirk is: I like to lie on my back with my paws in the air.

What do I get in trouble for: I am a sweet girl.

What I dislike the most: The leash, but I am learning to like it. 

What makes me unique is: that I don't do zoomies or bark much.

Where do I sleep: My dog bed

Do I love car rides: I like to lie down in the back seat.

Where's my favorite place to go: Where my human is

Do I like cats: Yes

My perfect home would be: Where I can get the love and attention I need to be the best dog ever.

Other stuff you should know: 

My name is Lumi which means "snow" in Finnish. GPRS helped me out of a bad situation. They connected me with my foster mom and gave me the treatments needed to feel better. 

I was terrified when I first got to my foster home, but my foster family gave me a lot of attention and was very gentle and patient. I still hesitate to come inside the house, but my foster mom tells me it's OK and gives me treats once I am safely inside. :) 

I have a foster brother who wants to play with me, but I don't know if I trust him yet. He is way bigger than me, and he is kinda stinky! 

I like relaxing with my foster family, in my dog bed, or on the cool floor. I don't get the zoomies, and I am very quiet unless I hear a siren or my foster brother barks too much.

I love being near my foster family and getting lots of attention, like belly rubs or brushing my coat. Outside, I sometimes want to relax by myself in the shade or lie down by my foster mom's feet while on the porch.  

I want to be adopted by a family who can spend time with me and give me lots of love. I need to learn to trust people again, so my new family must be patient and kind, using soft voices. Leashes make me uneasy, so my new family would have to help me get used to them so that I can go on long walks in the future. It would be great to have another dog companion, as I may get lonely when my humans are not at home.
