My name is Alexa!

Alexa is a 4-year-old, 65-pound black Lab/Weimaraner mix with a loving heart and a joyful spirit. She’s gentle, affectionate, and wonderful with children and other dogs. Whether she’s greeting new friends or relaxing with her people, Alexa’s sweet nature always shines through.

She’s an energetic girl who loves to play, especially if you have a ball to toss her way. During playtime with other dogs, she can get a bit rambunctious, but she responds well to verbal correction and quickly settles down.

Alexa does pull on the leash, so she’ll benefit from some training to help her master polite walking skills. With a little guidance, she’ll make fantastic strides.

If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion who brings warmth and enthusiasm to every moment, Alexa is ready to join your family.
