Meet Pastrami on Rye
If Carnegie Deli ever opened a wilderness branch, Pastrami would be the mascot. He’s built like someone stretched a sandwich too far and said “eh, close enough.” Long body, short legs, big hair, bigger attitude — a dog who looks like he was assembled during the lunch rush.
He’s a lowrider with high ambitions, especially when snow is involved. The moment flakes hit the ground, Pastrami transforms from “loaf on legs” to “winter sports prodigy.” Snow zoomies. Snow dives. Snow sprints. He’s basically a breadstick with a gym membership.
On the trails, he’s a compact adventure unit — sturdy, determined, and shockingly fast for a dog whose legs are roughly the length of a Postit note. And when the hike is over? He collapses into you like a warm roll straight out of the oven. Certified snuggler. Professional cuddler. A man of the people.
Personality & Compatibility
Dogselective — he clicks with certain dogs.
Snowobsessed athlete — winter is his peak performance season
Great hiking partner — low center of gravity, high enthusiasm
Elite snuggler — melts into you like butter on rye
One blue eye — his signature Pastrami flourish
Why He’s Impossible Not to Love
Pastrami is a walking conversation starter — part deli icon, part outdoor explorer, part chaosshaped carbohydrate. He’s funny without trying, affectionate without being clingy, and absolutely unforgettable. A GREAT dog with a oneofakind build and a personality that belongs on a billboard.
Adoption Details
Pastrami is fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped. He’s ready to bring his outdoorsy breadstick energy to a forever home.
