Adopted Lexi

A Letter from Lexi... With Love ❤️

Hi my name is Lexi and I’m told I’m a Labrador mixed with something or other. I have a beautiful long waggly tail and athletic legs, which I still need to grow into. I’m somewhere around 5 or 6 months old, but maybe if you adopt me we can pick a birthday date to celebrate together?

I love people, especially when they let me sit next to them and have a cuddle. I’m ok to spend a little time in my crate on my own as long as there is a toy or two for me to cuddle up with or a bone to chew and I’ve been really really good at staying on my own overnight while I’ve been living with my foster mum.

When I dream of my pawfect forever home it includes another friendly pawed playmate who would be happy to run around a nice big garden with me and share their toys (I’m good at sharing my toys). My foster brother is a small bouncy, snuggly, energetic dog who I can tumble about with and although he prefers to keep his tennis balls for himself he has shared all his fluffy squeaky toys with me, and his mum gives me a turn with the ball so it's fair.

I’m still quite young so do need some naps during the day as well as my nice big sleep at night. The best way to tire me out is to help me use my brain and learn new things. So far since Friday afternoon I’ve learnt to go to the toilet in the garden and now understand that when I’m told to ‘get busy’ this means I go and have a tiddle. I can also sit when I’m told to and I come back when I’m called by my name or to my foster mum's whistle command (she will teach you what it is too). Today I watched my foster brother go through the agility tunnel in the garden so I thought I’d have a go with him, it was really fun and I did it all by myself before the end of the afternoon. I think I could be an agility or fly ball superstar when I’m all grown up and my legs are good and strong.

I've been in the car quite a bit this last week and its turned out I really like going new places. I've been on the backseat wearing a harness and also in a crate and am quite happy with either option as I know I’m safe. The trip to the coffee shop was fun as lots of people came to say hello to me which I thought was really nice. We went to look at the ducks on the lake, I haven’t tried swimming yet but am sure I could do it.

I am a decent part Labrador so you wont be surprised to know I like my food, which I’m told also makes me very easy to train when combined with my quick thinking brain.

Finally a comfy sofa to curl up with you and watch tv in the evening would also be on my wish list, especially if I could put my head on your lap while I snooze. I have so much love to give and am just looking for someone to give me a chance and a forever home.

I wont let you down

Lots of love,
Lexi Legs

If you are interested in giving Lexi the home she deserves, please get in touch. She will need spaying, which LiN will cover the cost of, and is having her puppy jabs done asap, so depending on when she moves, she may need the second part doing.

We would rather she went to a home with older children who have been taught respect for animals. We feel she needs another dog as a role model as she's super friendly and loves to play. She isn't cat tested.

She is currently in foster in the Birmingham area. Her minimum adoption donation is £200.
