About Lexi

Meet Lexi! Lexi is a young Cattle Dog with a gentle spirit who just needs a little patience to reveal her true self. Initially timid, her sweet personality shines through once she learns to trust you. In her foster home, she's steadily gaining confidence and starting to enjoy playtime with other dogs, a wonderful milestone for her. Already potty-trained, Lexi is looking for an experienced adopter who can provide her with the understanding and support she needs. An adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy children would best suit her. While she's making strides, car rides still cause her some anxiety, so a patient person willing to help her work through that will be ideal. Lexi may take a moment to warm up, but for someone who is willing to give her that chance, the bond they'll create together will be truly rewarding. Could you be the safe haven Lexi is searching for? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
