One frigid February day, Animal Control Officers found a chained dog surrounded by trash and junk, standing atop a log- the only space not covered in snow. Holes filled her dog house roof and the only available water had long frozen over. Food was nowhere in sight.
It was in that moment HSKC seized this dog, and the staff named her “Lexi”. Like many dogs Animal Control seizes due to neglect, this two-year-old Boxer/American Staffordshire mix actually blossomed in the shelter environment. For the first time in her life, she received care and attention.
Grateful for the love given from staff, volunteers and visitors, Lexi has proven to be quite a love bug with people of all ages. She gives kisses freely, enjoys cuddling and loves to walk on a leash. She is completely housebroken and enjoys playing fetch.
Lexi is a quiet dog, not a barker. For that reason, she would do well in an apartment or town home. Lexi would do best in a home where she is the only pet as she takes a long time to warm up to other animals.
Lexi has been at the shelter for a very long time. Please help find a forever home for Lexi by sharing her story.
