Meet Mary Lumi, a sweet girl who found herself at risk in a municipal shelter in Alabama. She was given a second chance, and now she’s ready to discover what it means to have a family of her own. Mary Lumi is a lovely girl with so much potential. She deserves a home where she can feel safe, loved, and cherished for exactly who she is. After everything she has been through, we want her next chapter to be one filled with soft beds, gentle hands, and a family who will never give up on her. Sometimes all a dog needs is one person to say, “I choose you.” We hope that person is out there for Mary Lumi. An adoption bio is only a snapshot of who an animal is. For more information about Mary Lumi, including her personality, needs, and what type of home may be the best fit, please reach out to our Adoptions Team. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in fostering or adopting? Need more info on this dog?

🧠 Temperament
Meet Mary Lumi, a sweet girl who found herself at risk in a municipal shelter in Alabama. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.
