Lexy Husky Mix Tacoma, WA

A note from Lexi's foster in Texas!

Lexi is an amazing SUPER smart, sweet and friendly dog; I would even say she could be a therapy dog.
She does respond to "Lexi, although she sometimes has selective hearing but that's only because she's concentrating on something interesting (observant = smart).
Lexi is not very interested in toys or fetching but she can be encouraged to play for a short time and puzzles with treats and chew toys work very well since she's food motivated. She does like walks and will stand by the door when it's time. During walks she stays by your side and is always confident and unwavered by dogs barking ferociously from their gates. Give her time to stop and "smell the roses and roll on grass since these are her fun stimulating activities. I was teaching her "stop and "go when crossing a street and was about to incorporate "sit with "stop since she was already doing the "sit command when offered her food bowl. She's very interested in small critters like lizards, frogs, small birds etc.; this is where "stop would be helpful specially if off leash.
Lexi is potty trained and learned to use the doggy door in one day.

I have had dogs all my life and was really impressed by her intelligence and her whole being; I almost became a foster failure (we really bonded) but sadly right now is not the right time for a long term commitment.
