6 Ft. FENCE REQUIRED Adoption Donation $499 Located in RI Transportation costs to Northeast included. Approximately 2 years old as of 8/8/24 Weighs 24 pounds Introducing Lexie! This hound mix is a wonderful bundle of fun energy! If you are looking for a dog to sit down with on the couch after work and relax this is NOT the dog for you! If you are looking for a hiking, running, walking partner Lexie wants to have you join her in investigating the world. Despite a lousy start in life, Lexie is an extremely loving and trusting girl. Lexie would love to have another young and/or active pup to enjoy life with. She is currently in a foster home with a few younger dogs and she wears them all out! No cats please. She is not a fan. She's actually afraid of them Lexie loves kids, but due to her great enthusiasm for them one would worry about small toddlers getting knocked over in her excitement. Lexie would be fantastic with kids over the age of six. Lexie is crate trained and once she goes in doesn’t make a peep. Potty training as long as she is on a consistent schedule is fantastic, but she does need a routine. She has conducted all of her business in the exact same spot in the yard each and every time she goes. Can we get a hallelujah?! She walks wonderfully on a leash. While a fenced in yard is not necessary required it certainly wouldn’t hurt. But due to her high prey drive when she is not fenced in, she must always be on a leash at all times. She would take off after a squirrel or bunny and I’m sure run after it for hours. Lexies loves playing and romping around with toys or socks, so we make sure she has lots of her own things to enjoy and try to keep what we don’t want her to have put away. Lexie is EXTREMELY smart and just as energetic. She can easily jump a 4 ft. fence, so a 6 ft. fence is required. We think she would not only benefit from training but will absolutely excel at it. Whether a family, couple or single person adopts this wonderful silly girl, one thing is for sure, that they will be extremely lucky! If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website www.fohari.org and email my foster parent for more information: sarahscleansweep@yahoo.com Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us. Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption. Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/ Our Adoption Process: Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in. ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt. From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit. If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent. Our extensive approval process is intended to ensure the best fit between our animals and adopters.
