About Lexie

Lexie is a loving thirteen-year-old Papillon mix who shines brightest when she's with her sister, Sasha. These two bonded girls were saved from the brink of euthanasia due to their owner’s health challenges. Though Lexie can be shy and timid around new faces, having Sasha by her side boosts her confidence. This adorable senior loves relaxing on the couch with a good true crime documentary and soaking up the sun by the window. Gentle walks outside are a highlight for her, where she takes her time sniffing everything around. Lexie is housebroken, healthy, and well-suited for a variety of living situations. She gets along with dogs and cats, making her a great addition to any home. Remember, Lexie and Sasha must be adopted together, as they’ve spent their lives side by side. Help these sweet sisters enjoy their well-deserved retirement in a loving home! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
