Lexi is a friendly, affectionate, playful, curious, and energetic 5-month-old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix weighing 43 pounds. She is looking for an experienced home able to provide structure, training, exercise, and daily mental stimulation.

Ideal Home

• Not suited for apartment living
• Requires a secure physical fenced yard
• Needs plenty of daily physical exercise and a job to do
• Significant daily mental stimulation is essential
• Experience with working breeds is strongly preferred
• Not recommended for a first-time dog owner
• Best with children ages 10 and older
• Great with other dogs
• Not suitable for a home with cats; she is too curious and rambunctious

Ongoing Health

Lexi is vaccinated. Her spay status is currently listed as not spayed/neutered.

Training & Support

• House-trained and crate-trained
• Knows sit, down, off, leave it, and wait
• Enjoys learning tricks for treats, treat hide-and-seek, and flirt-pole play
• Needs additional leash work
• Training is essential for this intelligent working-breed mix
• She dislikes mani/pedis and is not a fan of car rides unless she has a window seat

Application Details

Lexi is being returned because her current owner has an upcoming surgery that will make it difficult to provide the time, energy, and attention she needs. Please research the Belgian Malinois breed and be prepared for a serious commitment to time, training, enrichment, and exercise. To adopt or foster Lexi, start by contacting the provider through Wags.
