Meet Rumi, a tender-hearted six-month-old hound mix from Gainesville, GA, whose tan and white coat and soulful eyes reflect his loving personality. At around 25 pounds, Rumi is a medium-sized bundle of sweetness and curiosity — a playful, people-loving pup who thrives on connection, activity, and cuddles on the couch!
Rumi is the kind of dog who will follow you from room to room, tail wagging, nose twitching, heart open. He’s gentle, smart, and endlessly inquisitive — especially when it comes to exploring the world one sniff at a time. His favorite things? Chasing a ball with joyful determination, making friends at the dog park, curling up beside his favorite humans, and playing with other dogs. He also adores children and shows a natural gentleness around them.
This sweet boy already knows "sit," "come," "down," and responds eagerly to his name. He’s very receptive to positive reinforcement and learns quickly when treated with patience and kindness. He’s house-trained, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and sleeps soundly through the night in his crate! But during the day, he struggles with being left alone — Rumi has separation anxiety and needs a home where someone is around most of the time or where he has another friendly dog to keep him company.
He’s not destructive — just deeply sensitive and longing for reassurance. A quiet home won’t be the right fit for this boy; Rumi does best in an environment with gentle bustle — where there's movement, energy, and companionship. His perfect match is a person or family who can help him learn that being alone is safe and temporary.
With his even temperament, kind eyes, and loving nature, Rumi is one of those rare dogs who makes every moment feel warmer just by being there. To learn more about adopting Rumi, reach out today — this beautiful boy is ready to bond, blossom, and bring joy to your every day!
