Lexi is a 4-month-old German Shepherd mixed breed puppy with a spunky, independent personality and a whole lot of love to give! At 18 pounds, she's expected to be a medium-sized dog when fully grown.Lexi is very dog-friendly and loves to wrestle and play with her canine friends, but she's also perfectly happy entertaining herself. She has a serious love for toys and will happily gather them from the toy box and pile them onto her dog bed. Rope toys and balls are some of her favorites!She's doing great with crate training and sleeps through the night most nights. She also settles nicely in her crate while her foster is at work. Lexi is still working on house training, but she's making great progress.Lexi took a few days to warm up to her foster and is becoming more comfortable with being handled and cuddled every day. She's a moderate-energy puppy who enjoys a good play session but is generally calm when she's not busy having fun.Lexi would likely enjoy having another friendly dog in her forever home to play with and learn from, although she does not necessarily require a canine companion. She does not require a fenced yard, and she would love a family ready to give her the patience, guidance, playtime, and love every puppy deserves.If you are interested in Lexi, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
