About Lexy

Lexy came in as a stray and needed a little time to start trusting people, but once she knows you, she’s all love. She’s happiest with another dog for company—her ideal home will have a canine buddy. Lexy adores running around a fenced yard and is always up for a car ride. She’s very manageable at bath time, listens well, and is housebroken and crate trained (and will happily share her crate with a friend). Walking on a leash is still a work in progress, but she’s improving every day. Her vaccinations are up to date, she has her rabies shot, and she’s spayed. Lexy’s truly at her sweetest cuddled up for a nap on the bed, nose nudging for extra pets and attention. She hasn’t been around kids or cats while in care, so keep that in mind. For now, her favorite things revolve around her people, her furry friends, and soft spots for relaxation. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
