INFORMATION: Lexi came to us as an owner surrender due to job & life changes. They had only had her a short time and felt they had gotten her from someone who had abused her, due to her leg, but hadnt taken her to a vet yet to find out what was wrong.

HEALTH: Good!! Lexi has been spayed and is current on her vaccinations. She came to us very thin and needed to gain some weight before she had surgery in 4 months she gained a much healthier 2#. During her spay, we did have an x-ray taken of her right hind leg and it is a Gr. 4 luxating patella with such deformity in the leg bones, to do surgery would be too invasive and possibly not able to correct. Shes had this since birth and knows no better it does not cause pain to her in any way (or slow her down)!!

BACKGROUND While Lexi can be vocal, she is also a pure love-bug and can curl and wiggle to find her favorite spot to cuddle up close to you in a tiny little ball. She is also house-trained, leash trained and loves to ride in the car. She races like the wind and uses her right leg as a kick-stand when up on her hind legs. She can also get up onto any piece of furniture with ease and vault over baby-gates she is not disabled with 3 workable legs at all!





Are you ready for me to join your family? If you have any questions, please contact Peg at info@luvachinrescue.org and if you think that you would like me to come and live with you, the first step in the adoption process is to fill out an adoption application which can be found here:

These folks here want me to have a special loving home so you will need to provide personal and vet references as well as have a home visit before I can come and live with you. My adoption donation is $275.00, and personally I think I'm worth every penny.

Due to assessment evaluation, they would like me to stay in foster care for a minimum of 2 weeks to help me get ready for my new family. I will be allowed to travel out of state so don't be afraid to ask about me (please note: we must follow the airline restrictions on temps so please be aware of that, any costs associated with travel will be your responsibility). I would love to have a special person to love me. See you soon.....

NOTE: All our adoption donations go towards our ever mounting vet bills. Thank you for your support. We are also, always, looking for more foster homes. The more foster homes we have, the more dogs we can help

THANK YOU!


PLEASE Note!


ADOPTION DONATIONS: When you see the adoption donation amounts, we'd like you to know that 90% of the time the donation amount doesn't even come close to covering our kid's doctor bills. This is definitely not a money-making venture. We're usually so far in the hole but the important thing is to get these kids the medical care they need and help them find the perfect family. That's our top priority.



POTTY TRAINING: Please note that we NEVER say our kids are 100% potty-trained. How naive would we be to say something like that? If you're willing to be trained by your new family member, please fill out an application. If you're looking for a totally potty-trained kid, you may as well stop at the toy store on your way home from work and buy a stuffed toy because those are the only reliable ones to NOT potty in your home. There is a period of adjustment, not just for the new family member but for everyone in the house. You must be patient, understanding, and willing to work with your new family member. It can take anywhere from several days to several months. You must be 100% committed to this, it's a lifetime commitment.
