Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Lex is 10 years old. He was picked up in Liberty County in Texas back in May 2014 when he was 6 weeks old. He was young enough to still be drinking milk from mom when she’d allow. This makes his true birth to be somewhere in April or March.

He was a gift for my fiancé at the time.

10 years is a ripe age for a dog and he’s been in the family his whole life.

In 2020, Dad went to the army & would later fight in the Ukraine- Russian war.

Dad promised to pick up the dog after service but is unable.

Lex has a sister that loves him & wants to find a home where he can run.

Mom has had sinus issues his whole life but are getting worse. It’s sad to let him go, but we want him to be happy.

He can sit, bark on command “Bark!”, roll over, and jump!

Dad trained him. If you hold out your hand, lex can touch it w his nose when u say jump.

I wish for him to keep his kennel and accessories. His kennel is missing a tray so he needs a replacement. He’s had his kennel his whole life.
