Lexi - Adopted

Arrival story: Lexi came to Waggin' Tails as a stray, but she clearly has been part of a family. She can be a little shy at first, but it doesn’t take long for Lexi to warm up and find a place in your heart – what a doll!

Approximate age / weight: 1 year / 50 lbs.

Personality: Lexi is a sweet, loving and beautiful golden lab/rhodesian ridgeback mix, who will make a wonderful family pet! Her foster mom says she’s very smart and already knows lots of basic commands: sit, stay, shake, down and leave it. She’s had no accidents in the house, so we think she’s already housebroken. Lexi walks nicely on the leash (although she can be very energetic), rides well in the car, loves her crate and takes treats with a very gentle mouth. Lexi gets along beautifully with her foster-brother Teddy and shows no aggression re: food, toys or other dogs. UPDATE: Lexi has met her first cats! She's interested, but not aggressive-what a good girl!

Forever home: Lexi will do well in an active home with a family who is willing to give her regular exercise and toys to keep her mentally challenged. She loves to take long walks and play games in the backyard. She will need to be with someone who is committed to continue and reinforce her training.

Pre-Adoption Application: To be considered for a dog, it is best to submit a pre-adoption application. The Pre-Adoption Application can be downloaded from our website - http://www.waggintailsdogrescue.org/adoptionprocess.html. Just complete the application and email it back to [email protected]

Waggin' Tails Adoption Information: Waggin' Tails Dog Rescue has a standard adoption fee of $175 for adult dogs. Different adoption fees apply for older dogs, small breeds and puppies - $100 for senior dogs (9 years +), $275 for small breed dogs and $200 for puppies plus a $50 deposit which is returned upon proof of spay/neuter at six months of age.
Our adoption process includes an application, vet reference checks, and a home visit.

We do not have a facility; all of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To view our dogs, please check www.waggintailsdogrescue.org for the dates of our next adoption events. To meet a dog in person, please see our event calendar for the latest information. Arrangements can be made to meet our rescue dogs outside of Saturday adoption events after an approved application is submitted (the application does not imply an obligation by the applicant or by the rescue group).

Please be kind to our volunteers who have made rescue a second job that they do in their spare time after coming home from full-time jobs. E-mail inquiries will be answered much more quickly than phone inquiries; our phone number is a voice mailbox only.

Thank you for your support of rescue and your interest in a rescue dog!
