LEXIE - AMERICAN ESKIMO DOG (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: American Eskimo Dog (long coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Hello, lovely people! My name is Lexie, and I'm here to steal your heart with my gentle nature and adorable Eskimo dog charm. At my age, I've learned to appreciate the simple pleasures in life. I may be a senior, but let me tell you, there's still plenty of love left in this old heart of mine. You'll often find me lounging on a cozy dog bed, soaking up the sunshine streaming through the window, or curled up next to you on the sofa for some quality snuggle time. Treats are my weakness, and I won't hesitate to let you know when it's snack o'clock with a little bark or two! I may not be as sprightly as I once was, but I still enjoy a good routine. Daily time in the big backyard, meal times, and potty breaks outside are all part of my day-to-day life. Speaking of potty breaks, I'm doing my best to master the art of doing my business outside, but I appreciate having a potty pad indoors just in case. Now, let's talk about my vision. It's not as sharp as it used to be, which means I can sometimes get a bit spooked by unfamiliar things. That's why a fenced yard is a must for me—I need a safe space where I can explore and stretch my legs without worrying about getting lost. I'm a social butterfly and get along well with everyone, including children and other furry friends. In fact, I'd love nothing more than to have a canine companion in my forever home to keep me company and help me beg my people for treats – hee hee! All I'm missing now is a loving and patient family who will shower me with treats, cuddles, and plenty of affection. If you think you could be the one to give me the forever home I've been dreaming of, please don't hesitate to reach out. I promise to be the most loyal and loving companion you could ever ask for. Can't wait to meet you! Lexie *Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopters expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses . Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in th eir forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. . ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiriesunderdogrescuemn> ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: .underdogrescuemn/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at .underdogrescuemn/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website .underdogrescuemn/foster-applications and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
