About Lexie

Lexie is a tricolored female Beagle mix that grew up in a tough part of town. Besides the elderly man that took them under his wing, the other neighborhood residents were not very kind to them. Lacking resources to properly care for them and fearing for their safety, he reached out to us for help. Fortunately, we were able to bring them into our rescue recently and both are doing quite well. At first, Callie and Lexie were understandably wary of volunteers. It has been a journey gaining their trust. With patience and love, our volunteers showed them not all people were bad and soon won them over. These two girls have really blossomed during their time with us. While they get along well, each would do fine in a home of their own. Lexie is three years and 2 months old now and weighs seventeen pounds. She is a good fit for an adult or family with teenage children that are home most of the day. She takes comfort in knowing you are near. Lexie prefers a quiet calm home where she can putter around and relax with the family. Visitors should be few as she is wary of strangers. She doesn't expect you to fuss over her but does enjoy a soft pat on the head. Lexie enjoys when you talk to her as you do things around the house. She does well on a set schedule and a routine gives her a sense of security. Another calm confident dog in the home would be a good companion for her. Outdoor rest breaks are limited at the shelter, so she may need more work to be fully housebroken. A home with a fenced-in backyard is a must. Lexie prefers exploring and running outdoors over going on walks. On sunny days, Lexie likes to sprawl out in the grass and catch a few rays. Shy sweet Lexie is searching for a family that will give her a wonderful life. We hope that will be with you!
