About Kingston and Lexi

Meet Kingston and Lexi! This lovable, bonded pair of German Shepherds is ready to bring double the joy and companionship to a new loving home in Amherst, MA. Kingston is a goofy and affectionate five-year-old boy with a handsome tan sable coat, while Lexi is a sweet, devoted eight-year-old girl with 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 are looking for a special family that will welcome them both and keep their hearts together! Kingston thrives on playtime, running, chasing tennis balls, and snuggling. His playful charm and affectionate nature ensure plenty of heartwarming moments. He enjoys car rides but may bark at people who seem frightened, so an experienced pet parent who understands German Shepherd behavior will help him feel confident. Lexi, on the other hand, is happiest being close to her favorite human. She loves chasing and chewing on balls, but her calming presence makes her just as comfortable soaking up affection. While not demanding attention, she appreciates every loving moment. Both dogs are house-trained, vaccinated, microchipped, and altered. They know basic commands, including sit and come, and could benefit from additional positive reinforcement training. They're great with children of all ages and can handle short periods alone. Their compatibility with other dogs is still unassessed. Due to a past incident involving a cat, a cat-free home is essential. Kingston and Lexi require a securely fenced yard and an experienced family who can manage their ongoing care. These devoted companions need to stay together, as they offer twice the love and companionship. Could your family be the next chapter in Kingston and Lexi's beautiful story together? Start your journey together! Apply now.
