About Lexi

Lexi is a lovely 6-year-old German Shepherd mix who recently made her way to AFA through a shelter transfer. This cheerful girl adores human attention and is particularly fond of her walks. She handles the leash pretty well but could use some gentle guidance to reduce her pulling. Lexi is smart and knows how to sit, plus she is house-trained; however, a little refresher in a new home might be helpful. We're still learning about her interactions with other dogs, so she will soon meet some of our larger pups to gauge compatibility. Lexi is eager to find her forever home and start the next chapter of her life. Could it be with you?
