About Alexa

Meet Alexa! This sweet, shy girl can be fearful around new faces and especially young children, so she’s looking for a mature home. Having previously lived with other dogs, she might get along with a canine companion after careful introductions, but she tends to be a bit dominant in those interactions. It’s important to note that Alexa does not get along with cats, so a feline-free home is a must. A talented escape artist, she can scale a six-foot fence and has a knack for digging, making a secure yard vital. Alexa will also need continued support in house-training, as she has had some challenges with accidents indoors, even when she has outdoor access. This little one deserves a patient and loving family who understands her needs. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
