My name is LEXI - LOCAL!!

Hi friends! My name is Lexi and here's my details:

PHYSICAL INFO:

• Breed: Mixed Lab


• Age: 1 year approx.


• Gender: Female


• Weight: 40 lbs (18 kg)


• Current Location: Vancouver, BC

RESCUE STORY - I was adopted at 3 months old from Cortez Rescue in Baja and moved to Canada. Unfortunately, my adopters couldn't give me the leadership and guidance I need and decided to give me up instead. I can't even believe it! I'm a good, sweet girl that needs to learn a few more things, but I'm still such a young gal and would love to learn from my new leader, my new family. I've been working with a trainer at TT Animal Rehabilitation and Therapy in Parksville, BC and she would tell you I'm a lovely girl, and with the right support, will thrive in a new home. With good leadership and continued positive reinforcement I will continue to be an amazing companion and forever loyal family member.

If you'd like to meet me (I'm a local gal!), please give us a heads up and something can be arranged! 

TEMPERAMENT - It takes me a bit to warm up to new people. However, once I am around you and become familiar, I'm superrr cuddly and an affectionate companion! I definitely need proper introductions to new people (which can be demonstrated here and here) as well as time to get to know you. But I promise it's worth it as I really am the most loving girl!

ENERGY LEVEL - Medium 

GETS ALONG WITH:

• Kids – My trainer does not recommend me for a household with small children - teenagers are okay.


• Dogs – Yes! I absolutely love other dogs and would do great as a 1st, 2nd or even 3rd dog. See me here playing! 


• Cats – Unknown 

PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.

TRAINING:

• Leash skills – I'm a work in progress but I've been leash walking good with my trainer and you can see in videos here and here.  


• House trained – Sure am!


• Crate trained –  Yup my first family crate trained me. 


• Car rides – Unknown and I may need some additional training and patience. 

HEALTH NOTES:

• I have been spayed and am current on all my vaccinations including monthly flea/tick medication. I am also microchipped! 


• NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work/cleaning after they are adopted. West Coast Paws does not cover the costs of dental work and/or vet visits. These costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter.

ADOPTION FEE:

• My adoption fee is $840.00 CAD ($750.00 + PST and GST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
