My story

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

Lexi came into our rescue when her beloved momma, one of our fosters and adopter, passed away.

Lexi is 3 years old, spayed, chipped, hw negative and about 10 lbs. Great with small dogs and cats. She is house trained and crate trained, but doesn't need to be crated, but she does find a crate to be a safe space. No children under 12 and no dogs over 20 lbs please.

If Lexi were to describe herself she would say. "I'm a little shy until I warm up to you. Sometimes with men a little longer.
But once I warm up, I want to be your forever lap buddy, but I also have a feisty side and may bite, that is the terrier in me. I can be nippy or growly If I'm pushed to something I don't want to do."

Her ideal home would keep her name (it has been hers for so long now), non chaotic, be home more often then not, and have a physically fenced yard.

She has been through a lot recently, losing the only home and momma she has known, so we hope that her new family will respect that and know she may take a bit of time to settle into a new place. She really needs someone who understands the breed and will give her the time and space to become comfortable. She loves to be in your lap and just wants to be loved and feel safe.

If you think you can be that family for Lexi, please fill out our adoption application on our website at www.safehaventn.com . We are happy to set up a meet and greet for the approved application. Her adoption fee is $150.00 and she is being fostered in Crossville, TN

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

First step in our process is to submit an application through our website. They are reviewed and we contact those who could be a good match

2.

Interview

Phone interview to get more information about you, your family and tell you more about the pup(s) you are interested in.

3.

Approve Application

Once we approve an application, we set the status of the pup to "Adoption Pending" and schedule a home visit and meet and greet.

4.

Home Check

We arrange a meet and greet and home visit if within distance. If all goes well we will finalize adoption at the end of this meeting.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process starts with submitting an Adoption Application which can be found on our website at www.safehaventn.com. From there you will be contacted by one of our Adoption Coordinators. Our adoption donations are usually $150 for adult dogs and $200 - $300 for puppies - depending on the animal, breed, etc. We expect that our pets will live indoors, and will be adopted to families who have the desire to add another family member to their home. A vet reference is required.
