Sumi is a delightful little West Highland Terrier who is currently in an Oldies Club foster home in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. His owners have to return to Hong Kong and don't feel it's fair to take him with them. Sumi means 'Little Dumpling' in Chinese/
Sumi is 9 years old and he’s a placid and sweet natured boy who soon settled into his new daily routine. He loves to have a potter around in the garden or a drive out in the car, but he’s at his happiest when he’s sat next to you on the couch having a cuddle.
Although Sumi hasn’t lived with other dogs before, he seems perfectly happy with his foster family’s dogs and likes to take the lead from them. He does get worried by other dogs if they’re too boisterous though.
Sumi gets along just fine with the resident rabbit and chipmunk, but he’s not very fond of cats so will need a cat-free home. He hasn’t met many children so far, but got on well with a visiting 7 year old.
This gorgeous little fellow has a look that will melt your heart. So if you have a Westie shaped hole in your life, Sumi could be the one for you!
Sumi is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and has been flea and worm treated. He arrived with a chronic ear infection, but the vet has prescribed ear drops for this and is also investigating some slight lameness in Sumi’s back left leg. We will provide an update on this when we have more information.
