Lexi is an adorable, sweet and lively 4 month old GSD girl puppy. Lexi was surrendered at the shelter by owners who could not afford the care of a puppy. While at the shelter, she was diagnosed with ataxia (wobbling and missteps on her back legs), however, she was evaluated by our vet, and she appears to be a normal, healthy girl, simply at that somewhat awkward, slightly clumsy puppy stage that GSD puppies go through! She is smart, full of energy, and is thrilled to be in a foster home with humans that understands her needs (a good routine, lots of activity, learning and stimulation). She loves playing with the household dogs, and cuddling with them. And in typical GSD fashion, she likes to be affectionate with her humans... on her own terms! Lexi is a happy pup, sweet yet feisty and 100% adorable! Lexi likes all toys - rope toys, stuffed animals, bones, antlers. She redirects well when she starts chewing on something she’s not supposed to. Lexi is working on crate-training, and she's doing great with potty-training! This adorable girl will need an active, experienced owner who will continue to work on her socialization and training.
Lexi's ideal home would be an active household with prior GSD experience, and a playful dog buddy. While adorable, GSD puppies require patience, structure, positive reinforcement, and redirection to channel their energy in appropriate ways. Like all German Shepherd puppies, Lexi will need training, consistency, boundaries, and lots of activity and socialization. Lexis's adoption fee is $450, all of which goes back into offsetting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (treated if positive), and microchipped.

Why are Sponsorships & Donations so important?
HUGS provides dog food, supplies, necessary vet care (emergency, acute, routine), heartworm and flea/tick preventative to the HUGS foster dogs while they look for their forever homes. This can be quite costly and challenging in many ways. Additionally, some of the dogs that we rescue arrive sick or injured and require hospitalization, expensive surgery or long-term medications or other treatment. This places a huge strain on our vet fund, and can affect our ability to help future dogs.
Sadly, without sufficient funding to transport, vet/treat, feed the dogs that we take in, we could not continue saving them. As a volunteer group that runs solely on donations and adoptions fees, we truly need your support.
