Lex is a young, goofy, curious dude (DOB ~03/01/2025) who’s still figuring out the world… and honestly? He’s having a blast doing it.<br/><br/>This guy lives life in two speeds:<br/>zoomies and snuggles. One minute he’s sprinting after a ball like he’s training for the Olympics, the next he’s flopped on the couch like he just paid the bills and needs a break.<br/><br/>🧠 The Smart Stuff<br/>Lex already knows:<br/>Sit<br/>Leave it<br/>Fetch (his personal favorite sport)<br/>Currently working on “here”<br/>He’s super food and attention motivated, which means training him is less “ugh homework” and more “let’s make deals, buddy.”<br/><br/>🎾 What Lex Loves<br/>Tug-of-war battles <br/>Chasing balls<br/>Hanging with other dogs<br/>Following his humans around like a curious little detective<br/>Teenagers (he thinks they’re elite-level fun)<br/>Car rides <br/><br/>🐕 Social Life<br/>Dog-friendly (male & female, especially loves a playmate)<br/>Cat-friendly (yes, really 👀)<br/>Good with people<br/><br/>🛠️ Things He’s Working On<br/>Lex is still a baby in a lot of ways, so he’ll need a home that’s cool with helping him level up:<br/>Crate training (not his favorite place yet)<br/>Potty training (getting there!)<br/>Think of him as a work-in-progress with a very high return on investment.<br/><br/>🏡 His Dream Setup<br/>Lex would thrive in:<br/>A moderately active home<br/>A family that will play with him and then chill with him<br/>Another playful dog (bonus points for a built-in best friend)<br/>A yard or regular walks to burn off his quick bursts of energy<br/><br/>❤️ The Bottom Line<br/>Lex is that perfect mix of playful and chill, curious and cuddly. He’s not looking for perfection… just someone willing to guide him while he grows into the awesome dog he’s already trying to be.<br/><br/>If you want a dog who will make you laugh, keep you company, and occasionally supervise your every move like a tiny furry manager… Lex is your guy.<br/><br/>Apply at rescueapittie.org

Lex is a young, goofy, curious dude (DOB ~03/01/2025) who’s still figuring out the world… and honestly? He’s having a blast doing it.

This guy lives life in two speeds:
zoomies and snuggles. One minute he’s sprinting after a ball like he’s training for the Olympics, the next he’s flopped on the couch like he just paid the bills and needs a break.

🧠 The Smart Stuff
Lex already knows:
Sit
Leave it
Fetch (his personal favorite sport)
Currently working on “here”
He’s super food and attention motivated, which means training him is less “ugh homework” and more “let’s make deals, buddy.”

🎾 What Lex Loves
Tug-of-war battles
Chasing balls
Hanging with other dogs
Following his humans around like a curious little detective
Teenagers (he thinks they’re elite-level fun)
Car rides

🐕 Social Life
Dog-friendly (male & female, especially loves a playmate)
Cat-friendly (yes, really 👀)
Good with people

🛠️ Things He’s Working On
Lex is still a baby in a lot of ways, so he’ll need a home that’s cool with helping him level up:
Crate training (not his favorite place yet)
Potty training (getting there!)
Think of him as a work-in-progress with a very high return on investment.

🏡 His Dream Setup
Lex would thrive in:
A moderately active home
A family that will play with him and then chill with
