Lovely Lexie!

Beautiful Lexie - Adopted March 2009

I received an urgent call one Sunday in 2009 asking if we could take in an emergency foster. When I picked Lexie up that afternoon, it was clear she was a very nervous young dog. but she quickly settled in once she learned that none of our dogs were going to hurt her and that she had to follow the house rules. Little did we know that she was snuggling into our hearts and that we would be the ones to adopt her!

Since Lexie came to our family, she has helped with around 60 fosters that have come through our house while waiting to find their own homes. She is very playful with adults and puppies, but is also a good role model in teaching the young ones what to do (and what not to do!). Lexie has a very playful spirit and is a joy to have around. She quickly discovered how warm it is under the bed covers and we just can’t resist indulging her. Lex likes to chase the birds out of the yard and can make it to the back fence in a split second. She is a very smart little gal, but on the other hand is a bit stubborn. She will grumble a bit when told to get off the bed, but she never takes it any farther. We have been lucky to have had Lexie join our household and she will continue to help more fosters through all of her years with us!
