Rumple

Meet Rumple. He’s four years old, weighs 45 pounds, and looks like a bear who gave up hibernation to become someone’s best friend. His name sounds tough, but deep down he’s all heart.<br/><br/>Rumple is a Sapsali, an old Korean breed said to bring good luck and chase away bad spirits. The breed almost disappears in the 1980s, but a few dogs that left and some determined enthusiasts along with genetic scientists from Europe, revive and save the <br/>breed .. <br/><br/>Very early in life, Rumple and his brother Saul found themself on a dog meat farm. The place is terrible but somehow they survive long enough to be rescued. They move to a shelter, finally safe… until a fire destroys it. And again — Rumple and Saul make it out alive. At this point, even the universe is probably thinking, “Okay, this dog refuses to quit.”<br/><br/>After the fire, they go to a dog training school, where Rumple learns how to walk on leash, do his business outside, and share snacks like a civilized citizen. But big dogs don’t get adopted easily in Korea, so Rumple packs his fluff and flies to the U.S. to look for a family of his own . <br/><br/>Now he lives in a foster home, and he is slowly learning that life can be calm and kind. He likes quiet rooms, soft voices, and gentle people. He prefers to be in a company of women, but men with gentle touch and snack in his hand will do it too. He likes kids as well.<br/>He tolerates dogs who are calm and polite. Who are not hanging around his bowl and favourite toys. We are not sure about his relationship with cats and other small animals. <br/>He is most comfortable as the only dog, though lately he has been choosing to sleep next to one very calm dog in the home, which is a big deal for him. <br/>If something outside feels too overwhelming, he simply sits down and takes a little emotional timeout. Very mature. Very relatable. When guests arrive, he sometimes stays upstairs where he feels safe, but when dinner time comes, he appears like, “Hello, yes, I heard food”. <br/><br/>He doesn’t destroy things, doesn’t bark at random shadows, and yes — he watches TV like a fluffy human who judges your show choices. Baths are not his favourite, but he accepts his fate and stands there like a wet stuffed animal.<br/><br/>Rumple survives fear, fire, travel, and change — and somehow stays gentle, quiet, and full of hope. He is vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and ready to finally settle into a home where he doesn’t have to survive anything anymore.<br/><br/>Some dogs bounce around like popcorn. Rumple is more like a soft blanket that occasionally asks for snacks.<br/><br/>And now, he’s simply waiting for the person who will say, “Come home, buddy. You’re safe now. <br/>So if you got a calm home and a kind heart, Rumple is ready to be your good-luck charm.
