06/06/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: We’ve had some dreary days in NYC recently…but not so with Lexi around! This chunky lady just radiates love and positive energy and is SO sweet it hurts. She is big and chunky, but hasn’t been hard to walk on leash. She does tend to jump up when she’s excited (and she LOVES people so meeting new ones is exciting!!) but I haven’t had any trouble getting her to settle. Plus she’s very treat motivated and easily channeled into doing one of her tricks (she already knows “sit”, “paw” and “down” in English and Spanish!). She loves to give kisses, what she lacks in tail length she makes up for in tail wiggles, and she’s super playful (with or without toys around). We’re told she’s housebroken, loves to lounge around the house, and has been around children of all ages. Please come to Brooklyn ACC and make all of your days bright with Lexi!
