Adoption Fee: $800   Lumi is a 4 year old Shih Tzu x Poodle mix who is ready to light up the world for her forever people! Lumi was rescued from a local shelter. We don’t know how this gorgeous girl landed in the shelter but we know her next chapter will be nothing short of fabulous. Lumi weighs 18 pounds and has a soft, non-shedding coat. She is an option for those with allergies and will require regular grooming to maintain her gorgeous appearance. If you’ve been searching in the dark for your new bestie, let Lumi turn on the light!      Lumi is a super loving and adorably goofy Shih Tzu mix who will charm your pants off with a wink of her puppy dog eyes! She loves her cuddles and is always on the lookout for her next snuggle opportunity. Lumi is a total velcro dog who wants to follow you wherever you go! On a walk…. to the park… to the bathroom, you name it! Lumi is very smart as well and is adaptable to the schedule of her people, as long as she can take plenty of naps! Naps are key to the care and keeping of Miss Lumi. Our gal is a total couch potato and would be the perfect WFH companion for a day of Zoom calls. Lumi is easy going and will fit into just about any home. Her party trick? Giving hugs and showering you in kisses for hours at a time! Lumi can’t wait to join her forever home and show them how to slow down and enjoy the finer things in life with you!  Lumi wakes up around 8 AM, but is happy to sleep in as late as you’ll let her! After she goes out in the yard, she gets a quick walk before she’s served breakfast. About 90% of her day is spent lounging on her bed as she keeps an eye on her foster mom. Shih Tzu lovers will not be surprised to hear that! Lumi gets a walk again in the early evening before she has dinner at 5:30 PM. She spends her evenings in the family room with her foster people, soaking up all the cuddles and kisses they have for her. She goes out for one last potty and then heads to her crate for the night around 10:30 PM.  Lumi has lived with other dogs and co-exists well with them. She loves meeting new people, especially when they have treats for her! Lumi walks very well on the leash. She is working on her potty training and crate training. If you’re excited to bring some light and cheer into your holiday decorations, adopt Lumi today!      Lumi is an option for homes who have owned a dog in the past, even if that experience is less recent. Kids should be over the age of 7.
