About Lexi

Meet Lexi! This sweet 3-year-old, 16 lb Chihuahua and Jack Russell mix, with perhaps a hint of Dachshund, is bursting with affection. She thrives on companionship and greets everyone with her friendly demeanor, making her a delightful addition to any home. Lexi has a playful spirit and is social with both people and dogs. While she enjoys good company, she can be a tad protective of her beloved toys and treats around other dogs, but there's no guarding from her humans. Lexi is just as content being the sole canine in a household where she can bask in undivided attention. Her foster family reports she is house trained, loves to cuddle, walks well on a leash, and is a joy to be around, showing her loving nature daily. Lexi seeks a forever family ready for neighborhood strolls, fun adventures, and cozy snuggle time. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and eager to learn with her new family through positive reinforcement training. Farfel's Rescue provides a one-week trial with every adoption to ensure a perfect match for everyone involved. If you're ready to make Lexi a part of your family, she's waiting for you!
