Will you help give little Lexi the second chance she deserves?

Sweet little Lexi came to us with one of the worst cases of fleas we have ever seen. Her skin was crawling with them and as you can imagine,  she was miserable. A victim of a neglect case, she was also missing some hair on her back and her teeth were in poor shape. She has since regrown some of her coat and with her hypoallergenic diet, she is doing well.


Lexi is an absolute sweetheart and loves to hike and chew on sticks and tennis balls. She also loves to be held and pet and especially appreciates it when people talked sweetly to her. Because of the lack of love and attention in her past, she does have some separation anxiety which she is receiving care for.

She is probably around 5 years old.

This coming week, we  are going to have to remove most of the teeth she has left since they are so damaged from her trying to chew her way out of whatever they’d lock her in. Due to her mistreatment, Lexi has some separation anxiety and does not do well in kennels/crates. She is currently living in our caretaker office and doing well with that set up. Her favorite spot is on her big comfy chair – half the time on the back of it like a kitty!

Will you help give Lexi a second chance?

    Lexi is one of the most sweet, loving dogs I have ever met. Today she climbed in my lap and literally hugged me! When she arrived, our cruelty investigator, Lindsey, and I literally combed hundreds of fleas off her body. She whimpered as we combed them off raw areas of her body, but at the same time, would turn and smoother us in kisses! This dog is going to be 100% devoted to her person or family and will give a lifetime of love and companionship to anyone who becomes her lucky person! Come out and meet Lexi today!

      Can you give me an update on her condition now that her teeth were removed? I think she is such a sweet gal. Do you have to feed her soft food now?

    I shared Lexi on my FB page. She is VERY sweet and definitely wants to be with a human family – she will give more love than what they’d know what to do with I’m sure. And she’s a fetcher ! She does great with fetching the ball and bringing it back and she’s very gentle. She’s one of those dogs that makes it known she wants to be with a human. I am hoping someone who can love her likes she deserves will give her a forever loving family home. SOON !!

    Is it possible that people are not responding to the adoption of Lexi because of her special diet needs? Is it an expense they are unwilling to take on? She needs a home and I would be willing to donate money to help a new owner with her feeding expenses if that could be set up some how.
