About Kingston and Lexi

Meet Kingston and Lexi! This lovable, bonded pair of German Shepherds is ready to bring double the joy, laughter, and companionship to a new loving home. Kingston is a goofy and affectionate five-year-old with a handsome tan sable coat, while Lexi is a sweet and devoted eight-year-old girl showcasing beautiful black and tan markings. Weighing around 95 pounds each, these gentle giants share an unbreakable bond, a love for tennis balls, and plenty of affection for their favorite people. They're looking for a special family that will welcome them both and keep their hearts together. Kingston is a bundle of playful charm who loves running, chasing tennis balls, and snuggling with those he adores. His goofy personality provides endless entertainment, while his affectionate nature adds heartwarming moments. He enjoys car rides and, with his large size, may bark at people who seem frightened; an experienced pet parent will help him feel more confident. Now, meet Lexi! This gentle girl is happiest when by her favorite human's side. She delights in chasing and chewing her beloved balls, but her calmer energy makes her equally content soaking up affection. Lexi appreciates every loving moment spent together. Both are house-trained, vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. They know basic commands like sit, come, and how to wait at doors; adding positive reinforcement training would be beneficial for them. They're comfortable with children of all ages and can handle short durations alone well. However, their compatibility with other dogs is unassessed. Due to a previous incident involving a feral cat, a cat-free home is essential for them. Kingston and Lexi thrive with an experienced family who can provide ongoing care and manage their needs, including a securely fenced yard. Most importantly, they must stay together!
