About Lexi

Meet Lexi - Your future furry shadow! Your home may not know it yet, but it’s missing a 30-pound bundle of love, dirt, and fairytale magic. Lexi is a sweet, playful, and slightly quirky girl ready to find her forever home. She’ll follow you around like you’re the most important person in the world, because to her, you are. Lexi believes dirt is a lifestyle, digging is an art form, and your yard is her personal landscaping project. When she’s not busy creating her own cratered moonscape, she’s being affectionate and soaking up time with her favorite humans. This lovely lady can be a bit neck shy, so she appreciates a gentle approach. Start with pets around her shoulders or farther down her back, and let her warm up at her own pace. Lexi can share her home with other dogs or cats with proper introductions, but she’d thrive best in a home without young children. Older, dog-savvy kids may be a good fit with the right introductions. Lexi is vaccinated, spayed, and ready for her next big adventure. All she needs now is someone to love her and appreciate her wonderfully quirky personality. Are you ready for a little dirt, a lot of love, and a furry shadow who’ll never let you feel alone? Lexi is excited to meet you!
