Now, after time in rescue, Lexie has blossomed, learning to trust people who show her patience and gentleness. She gravitates towards calm and quiet spaces, where she can relax, listen to your voice, and feel safe. A set routine helps her settle in, and she does well in homes where people are around most of the day. A family with teenagers or adults suits her best. While Lexie’s wary of strangers and shies away from a bustling, visitor-heavy home, she does enjoy the company of confident, calm dogs. She gets along with both dogs and cats.
