Meet Lexi! She is a 5.5 month old, 5lb, chihuahua puppy born on the streets. She is THE loviest girl. She absolutely loves all people & kids! She likes dogs and doesn't mind the cats. She is fully potty trained on pee pads, but, will also potty if you take her out. She is 100% a velcro, lap dog! She is so, so incredibly sweet!
Lexi is looking for a warm, patient, safe, loving lap to lay her head forever. She is a typical puppy who wants to be by your side at all times. Loud noises, reaching above her, and swift movements can scare her a bit after a life on the streets.
CDHA does not adopt to families with children under 5 years of age, people under the age of 21 nor people in transition, e.g., college students.
Adopters must live within an hour drive of Albany, NY.
The adoption application can be found at: https://cdha.net/pets-for-adoption/adoption-application/. Submitting an application does not commit you to adopt a dog nor does it guarantee you will be approved to adopt.
