Lexy is a beautiful Catahoula - she has one blue eye and one brown one, and it doesn't affect her sight at all. She loves other dogs and is great with kids, but can be bossy and play rough, so no really small children.

Lexy loves going to the dog park - she doesn't swim so much as splash around and sometimes chase other dogs. She LOVES her foster brother Dillinger and the two of them play and play together. They are about the same age and would love to be adopted together. She really likes the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with canine companions. She can play very rough though, so she needs a hearty playmate.

Lexy was adopted and returned, primarily because she got out of the house and ran away and did not come when called. She knows commands but will ignore them when she feels like it. Due to this, and the fact that she was already hit by a car once, Lexy has to go to a home with a fenced in yard. She loves to chase lizards and lay in the sun, and would do best somewhere she could do those things at will.

Lexy can be very stubborn, and it takes her a little while to warm up to new people, dogs and places. She comes around quickly, but will take a couple weeks to settle in to a new home. Also she hasn't been around men as much as women and kids, so she tends to shy away from men. She's not scared, but is obviously more comfortable around women. She will adjust to a new family and environment, but not as quickly as, say, a lab, who becomes your new best friend for a treat. Someone experienced with dogs and/or catahoulas in particular would be great. She is an amazingly sweet dog, but definitely willful.

We went to the dog park the other day and she had a BLAST! She absolutely entertained herself playing in the lake, splashing water and then chasing it, and grabbing seaweed with her mouth. She ran around with a little smile on her face the whole time. She is great with other dogs and people and is incredibly social. She would do best in a home with other dogs. It's not so much that she's high energy as she is curious and playful, but will settle down pretty quickly.

I cannot beiieve Lexy hasn't been adopted! Her pictures don't do her justice - everyone who meets her in person absolutely adores her. She is SO sweet! She's a lap dog and wants to be really close to you. She is gentle and not too large, and would be great with kids that are ready for their first dog. She's protective but not obnoxiously so. She's a very quiet girl and doesn't bark much except a little when she's playing and if someone comes to the door, but she quiets down when you tell her to.

Lexy LOVES riding in the car and putting her head out the window. She's a total doll! She actually smiles at you she's such a happy girl. And she just completed a basic obedience training class with Tori Collins, a trainer who works out of Wekiva Forest Animal Hospital. Tori offers basic and advanced obedience classed regularly, and she generously allows PRBJ fosters to take her classes to help make them more adoptable.

Lexy is easily one of the SWEETEST dogs I've fostered and I've lost count of them at this point. She is a joy to have around. She gets excited and loves to run around the yard. She loves food and treats and is a bit of a pig and likes to root around the other dogs' bowls looking for leftovers. Sometimes I feed her in her crate. She is a cutie and the perfect size dog. She is such a sweet companion who loves attention. What a doll!

Lexy is an absolute sweetheart. She is crate trained, and will go right in the crate for you. She is playful with other dogs and likes them, but can be a little bossy sometimes. She's the smallest dog at my house, so when she's around smaller dogs she likes to feel like the boss.

She's like a cat - she just wants to be near you. Lexy can be a little standoffish around new dogs and strangers, but she loves people and other dogs. It just can take her a couple minutes to relax, but once she's comfortable she's absolutely loving and affectionate.

At 37 pounds, Lexy is the perfect size - not so small that you would trip over her, but not too big that she couldn't live in an apartment or townhome. When she goes to events she just loves to be petted. She'll crawl right in people's laps if you let her - she just wants to be close to you.

Sweet Lexy would be a great addition to any family. Meet her and see for yourself!
