Thankfully, kind rescuers brought him to Ozzie and Friends Rescue, where he finally experienced a full belly, a warm bed, and the love every puppy deserves. What's truly remarkable about Lumi is that his difficult beginning never stole his joyful spirit. From the day he arrived, his tail has never stopped wagging.

Lumi is a playful, affectionate puppy who absolutely loves making new friends—both human and canine. He has a silly, adventurous personality and is always ready for the next game of fetch.

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.
