** UPDATE:** Rumi has spent the past year at a professional training facility and has truly blossomed into a well-mannered, loving dog. She's now ready to find the forever family she's been waiting for.
Meet Rumi!
Rumi is a beautiful 4-year-old, 40-pound girl with a heart full of love. Her favorite place is right by your side--whether she's curled up at your feet or snuggled next to you on the couch. She loves giving kisses and being close to her favorite people.
Over the past year, Rumi has become much calmer and more relaxed at home while still enjoying an active lifestyle. She would be a wonderful companion for someone who loves hiking, running, or long daily walks.
Rumi walks beautifully on a leash without pulling. Although she's still building confidence in new environments, she continues to make steady progress every day with patience, treats, and positive reinforcement.
She is fully house-trained, eager to learn, and thrives with consistency, kindness, and routine. Rumi is ready to become a loyal, lifelong companion to a family who will continue helping her grow.
If you're looking for a cuddly best friend who also loves outdoor adventures, Rumi could be the perfect match for you!
**Adoption Fee:** $475
### Please Note###
* Rumi is currently living in a foster home in Korea. Once she is adopted, she will be transported to the U.S. Because of this, we are unable to arrange in-person meet-and-greets. We are happy to provide detailed information, photos, and videos to help you get to know her.
* We do not recommend leaving dogs alone for more than 4 hours. If you expect to be away longer, we strongly encourage doggy daycare or another appropriate care option.
* We typically do not adopt to homes with children under 8 years old.
* Applicants must be at least 25 years old and live within a 45-minute driving distance of Springfield, Virginia (Northern Virginia and the Washington, DC suburbs only).
* A home check is required before adoption.
* Applicants must have a social media account so we can receive post-adoption updates. We monitor all adopted pets to ensure they continue to thrive.
* Once your application is approved, we will request a copy of your identification through a secure app and/or complete a background screening.

Many of our rescue dogs had very little socialization before entering our program. As a result, skills such as house training, leash walking, and adjusting to family life may take a little extra time. Patience, understanding, and gentle guidance are essential. The good news is that most of our dogs adapt remarkably well, and helping them blossom into confident family companions is an incredibly rewarding experience.
*** About us ***
Hope For Donghae Paws(HDP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to bringing rescue dogs from Korea to the US and finding permanent homes for them. It is true there are many animal lovers in Korea, but still many dogs suffer and are killed for food.
Our mission is to find US homes for mixed-breed dogs whose chances of being adopted in their native Korea are very low.
