Lexy arrived in the Twin Cities with 23 other dogs from Knoxville, IA.  She was the only Golden in the group but all of the dogs found homes due to coordination of many volunteers coordinating transports across multiple states, and we are so grateful to have this sweet girl!  She is a 15 month old GR mix, and looks like a black Golden – all the beautiful GR feathering, but with shiny black hair.  Lexy is full grown but at 50 lbs, so she is on the small side.  She had a busy weekend between a long transport, the vet and the groomers.  It’s difficult to photograph black dogs and capture their beauty – she is gorgeous!

She is in perfect health, spayed, current on her vaccinations and microchipped. She is also crate trained, potty trained and wonderful with both kids and dogs. She immediately bonded with my young son, and now loves everyone.  We are just getting to know her, but so far she has been a playful, affectionate, and a well behaved little sweetheart.  Lexy was surrendered to the shelter with her brother because they were “escape artists”. We have a fenced yard, but she hasn’t been alone yet – I’ll keep an eye on her to see if she plans to venture off.

Just a quick update for now until I learn more about her.  Check her out with her foster brother 11-005 MacGyver….they dig each other.

Contact your placement advisor if you'd like to meet Lexy!

Lexy here!!! I’ve been in my forever home for a little over a year now and just love it here! I have a furbutt friend Bailey and he shows me everything! I was very shy when I first arrived and it took awhile to get brave and bark at people out the window.  I was scared of men for a long time and ran in my kennel when they came over or one of my humans would pick me up and let me know everything was ok.  It always was ok and now I know that humans that come over are nice and won’t hurt me.  I have a lot of bones to chew on and spend time gathering them up so I know they are all in one place!! I have a lot of energy and love to go for walks, run in the backyard, wrestle with Bailey and sometimes I still tease the cat.  I didn’t learn the first time the cat swatted me, it took awhile to learn exactly how to get the best of him without getting the claw!!!

I am very happy! I want to thank all my wonderful friends at Ragom for rescuing me from the Iowa kill shelter!! I’m living the princess golden life and I couldn’t ask for more!!!
