About Me: I moved around from shelter to shelter until SPAAR took me in and gave me my lovely foster family! Here's what they say about me:
- She is so easy-going and goes with the flow. Lets us bathe her with no issues, takes pills for her hypothyroidism with no issues.
- She pretty much ignores the cats. We have had other fosters that ignored them at first, but then started chasing them, but Lexi barely even looks at them.
- She is great with our two dogs, and my dad's high-energy medium-sized dog.
- She has been around my nieces and nephew (2, 4, and 5 years old) and is great with them.
- She is a really low energy dog, although her thyroid meds have perked her up some. She mostly just likes laying around.
- She sometimes likes being by herself in another room from us. She does enjoy exploring the backyard (except when it is raining; she HATES the rain :)
- I am not sure how well she would do on long walks. She does seem to have some arthritis, so I don't think long walks would be her thing. She does take anti-arthritis medication, which seems to help her want to be a little more active.
- She has no problem eating. We decreased her amount of food a little, because even with the thyroid meds, her weight hasn't budged at about 20 pounds.
- She is housetrained but has an occasional accident in the house, especially during the night. She does go to the bathroom quite frequently, so someone who is home a lot would probably be best.
- She doesn't seem to have any problem seeing.
- She is definitely not completely deaf, because she will react to loud sounds. But she is either VERY hard of hearing, or just doesn't care to listen to you. I think it may be a little bit of both :)
- She didn't bark at all for a few weeks after we got her. She now will bark at people outside on the other side of the fence, but so far hasn't been bark-y inside at all.
- Her hair seems to be growing back in better since being on the thyroid meds, but she is still a bit scraggly.
- She can be a little yeast-y sometimes. We have medicated shampoo for her.
- The only minor thing that someone with a dog may need to know is that she is always trying to go for the other dogs' food bowls when she is done with hers. She is not at all food-aggressive herself, but if someone has a food-aggressive dog, Lexi may not be the best fit.

About Me: Pepsi was surrendered to us and has needed some TLC before he can become available to adopt. But he's thriving in his foster home, now! Here's what they say about me:
- Pepsi is a lovable handsome boy who is happiest when in your company and loves to snuggle. He is pretty much a couch potato and is content to sleep there for much of the day while his humans are close by.
- He does well going outside to “do business” at least every 2 hours but was never taught not to mark his territory inside the house. He is a good boy and wears a his belly band (doggie diaper) for this reason with no issues. If he is consistently taken out to potty he will often have a dry diaper at the end of the day. Make sure to give him at least 5 minutes and he will do you proud! He needs extra coaxing (& maybe a few extra trips out) when it’s cold, raining, or snowing.
- He is good eater and loves his Kong as a frozen treat in the afternoon and training size treats for successful potty trips outside and good behavior. He is very content on a full belly and will get restless when he is hungry. He is currently being fed 3 small meals a day.
- He is visually impaired but gets around quite well using his other senses. He should be kept away from steps and will need to be picked up & carried if steps are necessary.
- He prefers not to be left alone but does OK if placed a cozy crate. He does bark at times when left alone in the crate and will greet you with a short period of barking and frenzied behavior when you come back to retrieve him. Otherwise he can be left alone for short periods of time (30-45 min) when sleeping on the couch with no issues. It’s best to crate him if leaving for any extended period of time.
- At bedtime he does well snuggled up in bed with his humans. He won’t have any accidents on the bed and doesn’t need to wear a diaper through the night.
- He seems to be fine around other dogs, although we have only had a few brief encounters so far. I don’t know about about cats.
- He does good on short walks but can be stubborn about extended sniffing an hesitating along the way. I think he may do better over time.
- Pepsi will thrive in a quiet, low key environment with humans that are patient and present much of the time.
