Meet Pumbaa!

At just 4 months old, Pumbaa already has the kind of gentle, soulful personality that makes everyone fall in love. With his stunning golden brindle coat and sweet eyes, he's handsome—but it's what's inside that really makes him special.

Pumbaa has the kind of calm, thoughtful presence that makes you wonder if there's an old soul hiding inside that puppy body. He's happiest simply being close to his people, soaking up affection and quietly keeping you company. ...Until someone tosses him a toy. Then it's game on! Suddenly this sweet, laid-back boy transforms into a bundle of puppy wiggles, zoomies, playful pounces, and goofy antics that will have you laughing out loud. He truly gives you the best of both worlds—a cuddly companion and a fun-loving puppy all wrapped into one.

Pumbaa gets along well with other friendly dogs and would fit beautifully into a home with a canine sibling or two. He'd also be perfectly happy soaking up all the love as your one and only.

Pumbaa is a future best friend. A couch cuddle buddy. A hiking partner. A faithful shadow. A keeper of secrets. The dog who will greet you with a wagging tail after every long day, celebrate life's happiest moments, and stand beside you through the hardest ones. He's ready to spend a lifetime loving someone.

If you think your home is the perfect match for this incredible boy, apply at the link below and tell us why you should be chosen as Pumbaa's forever human.

**We are including a photo of his sister's DNA test as his would be similar. His mom looks like a redbone coonhound but that did not show up in Poppy's DNA.

Our transports run every 2-3 weeks to that location.) We cannot adopt to Rhode Island due to import restrictions.

VETTING:

All of our dogs are cleared by a licensed veterinarian for transport and arrive to their adopters spayed/neutered with age-appropriate vaccines completed and are microchipped. Note: We cannot guarantee breed mix or full grown size. Both are estimated based on physical characteristics and any known history.
