Story
At first glance, Yumi looks like a giant teddy bear—and honestly, she's pretty convinced she is one. This beautiful Saint Bernard has a heart as big as her paws and is searching for a special home that understands both her strengths and her challenges.
Yumi came to us after being abandoned at her previous home. She has a rough history but once she trusts you, she'll happily become your oversized shadow, following you from room to room and soaking up every bit of affection you're willing to give. She would do best being the only animal in the home, but we are willing to give other large dogs a chance to meet her. She is not well socialized with people and will take time to adjust to any new environment.
While toys aren't really her thing, she loves interacting with her people she trusts and is always ready for some zoomies. She's a smart cookie too, already knowing commands like sit, down, give paw, and sit pretty. Like many Saint Bernard's, she can be a little stubborn and likes to see if the rules are really rules, so she'll do best with a confident owner who can provide consistency and clear expectations.
Yumi does have a history of food aggression/resource guarding around food, and her future family must be prepared to safely manage this behavior. Because of this, she is looking for an experienced owner who understands resource guarding and is committed to continuing her training and setting her up for success.
She tends to bond more quickly with women, while men may need a little extra time and patience to earn her trust. Once she feels comfortable, however, her sweet and loyal personality shines through. Ongoing socialization will be important to help Yumi continue building confidence and good manners.
Yumi is looking for a home that understands giant breeds, appreciates a dog with a little sass, and is willing to put in the time and effort she deserves. In return, she'll provide plenty of laughs, endless companionship, and enough love to fill a house.
If you're looking for a giant best friend who will keep you company, make you smile with her goofy zoomies, and soak in the sun, Yumi might just be your perfect match.❤️🐾
