A volunteer writes:  So cute, so sweet, so snuggly, so fun, so friendly….need I go on?   Jumping into my arms from her top kennel, as soon as I put Lexie down outside she pottied, and we’re off to the park.   Her leash manners are great, she poses for pictures like a pro, executes a perfect sit for a treat sometimes doing a small little stand first (so cute!), and waited patiently as I talked to another volunteer and her dog.  Lexie’s coat is clean and cared for, her little tail curls up into an O, she snuggled into my lap for some hugs after our photo shoot;  she’s just simply delicious.  On her first playdate she greeted the helper dog politely and enjoyed some play. When Lexie sees dogs on the street her O tail wags as it’s obvious she’d like to meet them all.  An adorable little peanut who has it all going for her but a home, Lexie is hoping you’ll come in and meet her today.
