LEXI - SHEPHERD / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). I escaped execution at the pound, but for the next three years, I lived in a boarding facility. Basically—a jail cell, simply because no foster was available. I hadn’t done anything wrong. My only “crime” was existing. At one point, I was sent to a board-and-train program. The idea was that if I got professional training, it might improve my chances of getting adopted. Since I’m a mix of smart breeds, I thrived. I became the star trainee—beloved by the trainer and fully ready for a real home. But the training facility was far from West LA, which meant I couldn’t attend adoption events, which means I never had a chance for potential adopters to meet me. Solely relying on online promotion had failed. So, recently, one of the awesome volunteers took me home to foster me. He didn’t want me sitting in a kennel anymore, and I’ll always be grateful for that. But here’s the thing—there’s another dog who needs him now. She has serious issues and requires a very dedicated foster. So, as soon as I find a new foster (or even better, a forever home), she’ll take my place. Meanwhile, she is in a jail cell, and I feel responsible. The team doesn’t want to send me back to the kennel. I’ve come too far for that. But I can’t stay where I am much longer either. I need a soft landing—a stable home with someone who sees me. To be honest, I’ve grown tired of being in limbo. I’ve done everything that’s ever been asked of me. I’ve waited, learned, adjusted—and waited some more. I’m not asking for much. I just want a home I can call my own. A person who sees me as their family and will never let me go. Please come meet me at the adoption event, fall in love with me, and adopt me. If you are interested in meeting Lexi, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at infofarescue or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions. [Lexi is about 5 years old and weighs 60 lbs.] (2208)
