8 yr old Lexi arrived at our Sanctuary from an overcrowded shelter. She is a sweet girl who is shy to warm up but loving once she feels comfortable. She is looking for a relaxed home with primarily adults and no small children. She also prefers a home where she is the one and only pet. Also, someone familiar with the Border Collie breed would be a plus. She is a simple girl who loves nothing more than taking a leisurely walk in the sun and she will quite literally stop and smell every rose! She is in good health and enjoys exploring. With the right environment and ongoing support, she will no doubt become a loyal and loving companion!


If you are interested in sweet Lexi, please fill out an application on our website www.seniordogsanctuary.com and set up a meet and greet today!
