Meet Alexis

Hi, I’m Alexis. I’m 5 years old and a little less than 60 pounds. I’m a petite yellow labby girl. I was a breeder momma on a farm.  I’m currently living with 3 other labs in my foster home.  I get along well with them, but I LOVE my people.  You know winter is coming and everyone knows labs make the best feet/lap warmers.  Just saying!   I am crate trained, house trained, spayed and UTD on my vaccinations.  Whew, I’ve had a busy few weeks in foster care!  When I got off the farm, I had terrible ear infections, but the nice vet gave me medicine and my ears feel so much better now.   I’m told I can be picky about my food, but I prefer the term “connoisseur”. I like the food I have now, so I’m working on gaining a little weight because I was too skinny when I got here. Oh, and I love cheese.  Do you have cheese?  I told my foster parents they should make sure my adoptive family has cheese.  I will go right into my crate for a small piece of string cheese.  Yum!    I am spry, agile, and light on my feet. When I get petted, I look you in the eyes so you know how much I love it and YOU. I like chewing bones and antlers, but I’m still not sure about the toy basket here so my friend and fellow foster dog, Laura, takes them out and puts them on the floor. I pick them up and settle in to chew them. My foster family introduced me to leash walks and I seem to enjoy them. This whole leash thing is new to me and I sometimes zig and zag.  Since I’m so petite, it’s pretty easy to redirect me though.   I’m looking for a family who will love me, give me boundaries and help me continue learning about life off the farm.  If you have a couch, like to cuddle and maybe have some cheese…I might just be the girl for you!     PLEASE NOTE: While this Lab may not be available for adoption by the time you complete the adoption process, other great Labs are always finding their way into our Rescue.

Adoption Process
All applicants complete an application and have a home visit before being approved to adopt. Once approved to adopt, they wait to find the right dog for their family. They are required to sign a pre-adoptive agreement and keep the dog they are matched with for a 3 week pre-adoptive period. If all goes well during that period, they sign an adoption agreement and adopt the dog. The fees vary depending on the age and altered status of the dog. We do require all dogs to be altered if they are not already and require obedience training as well
