Her family has made the difficult decision to return her so we can find her the right home. <br/><br/>Lexi is a 5-month old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix weighing 43 pounds. <br/><br/> House-trained and crate-trained<br/> Loves people (best with kids 10+)<br/> Great with other dogs<br/> No cats - a bit too curious and rambunctious <br/> Needs some leash work <br/> Dislikes mani/pedis<br/> Not a fan of car rides - unless she gets a window seat!<br/><br/>Lexi is friendly, affectionate, playful, curious, and energetic. She knows sit, down, off, leave it, and wait — clearly a an intelligent girl who is eager to learn. Lexi enjoys doing tricks for treats, playing treat hide and seek, and working with her flirt pole. <br/><br/> NOT an apartment dog<br/> Requires a secure physical fenced yard<br/> Plenty of daily physical exercise is a MUST<br/> Requires significant mental stimulation DAILY<br/> Thrives when given a job to do<br/> Experience with working breeds is strongly preferred<br/> NOT a first-time dog-owner pup<br/> Training is NOT optional — it is essential<br/><br/>Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds are highly intelligent, working breeds that thrive when given structure, purpose, and consistent leadership.

These dogs can be incredible companions in the right home, but require a serious commitment of time, training, enrichment, and exercise. <br/><br/>If you have experience with working breeds and are ready for the commitment Lexi requires, we’d love to hear from you! <br/><br/>To adopt https://thepuppyrescue.com/pet-adoption/<br/><br/>If you can foster Lexi as she awaits her perfect family https://thepuppyrescue.com/foster-application (if you are already an approved foster, please message us). <br/><br/>#SecondChance #adoptable #malinois #gsdpuppy
