My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lexi is a young lady about 2 years old. She is playful and a happy girl who loves to run circles around the trees in the back yard or wrestle with her BFF, Buffy. Lexi adores her humans and thinks her place is next to them on the couch if possible. However, she will find her place to the floor when directed. Lexi is fast and can slip out a door and under your feet before you blink. She was a stray at Animal Control and it is easy to see how she likely got ‘lost’! She will need a fenced in yard to keep her safe and to let her express some of her energy. Although she is tiny, she is no wallflower. In fact, she has a mighty big bark for a little dog. She thinks she is a watchdog so she will alert you when she hears noises and guards her yard from passers by. Lexi gets along with everyone including her dog friends. She will try to show her dominance if allowed to do so. Lexi is spayed, up to date with vaccinations, heartworm negative, had a recent dental and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting her, please email us for an application. We work full time so if you do not hear from us immediately, don’t despair, we will get back with you as soon as we can.
